That Youngs Dbl is pretty nice stuff. And I have had that Banana Bread beer, and it tastes surprisingly close to banana bread... You might enjoy it more than I did, but I thought it was WAY over the top and kinda gross...
I am right in the middle of a bottle of Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout right now and this is a phenomenal beer! I have a Nut Brown Ale and a Tanny Porter left by Samuel Smith's and I hope they are as good as this one is!
Bannana bread beer....not bad, tastes a whole lot like bannana bread. Kinda interesting but not something i could drink all of the time. Michelob Honey is actaully really good as well, had some of that for the first time yesterday.
I come bearing more good news. Distributor here in VA got in Stone Russian Imperial Stout. I am sure most other states carrying their stuff will have it on shelves this week, if it isn't already there. This is a MUST try for stout fans, truly excellent stuff.
I had another Sam Adams over the weekend.. The Double Boch!!! wow this stuff is fantastic. It's another beer in the Imperial Series. There's also a Belgium white which I need to try next.
Anoy of you folks try anything from New Glarus. I'm looking forward to a few spotted cows this evening. Try to pick some up whenever I go to WI. They don't sell i here in MN.
Started the night with my beloved Rasputin(try yours yet alex?) and switched to Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout. It's not samuel smiths but it is excellent in its own right. Almost a tad of a watered down finish after drinking a Rasputin. I also found some Stone russian imperial stout. Cant wait for that to get cold!

Nope not yet but tommorrow will be the day I think! I had the orange cream one last Saturday morning and I have to say it was like someone threw an entire orange in there! Very refreshing. A few nights ago I had the samuel smiths and it was AMAZING. The only bad part was j couldn't figure out how to open the damn thing Tpday I had the moylan's imperial stout and it was very tasty. I think I would like it better in a smaller bottle because by the time I finish the first half, the second half had warmed up. Then j feel like I should hurry and that makes me enjoy it a little less. So far, my favorite is the moylan's followed VERY closely by the oatmeal stout.
Yeah the orange creme is an excellent morning beer(beer...not just for breakfast anymore), with the big bottles i pour a beer glass full and put the rest in the fridege for a top off later on. Enjoy the Rasputin, it's by far my favorite. I need to send you some stone imerial along with a few others that have been grabbing my interest over here.

Nice. Rocked 1/2 of a 22 tonight, just as tasty as I remembered. On the rare occasion I get a hankering for a black and tan. Tonight was one of those nights, and as such I got down with some Oskar Blues Gubna and some of the remaining Stone RIS. Nothing better than 2 epics combining efforts for beer nirvana. I was in my happy place.
So i just got done with Stone russian imperial....WOW!!! This IS good brew! Almost a salty-ish finish but its balanced with a molasses note. More carbonation than expected but not in a bad way and you could tastes Stone's hoppy-ness the whole way through....if you've drang Stone before....you'll know what i'm talking about. I'm getting more....lots more! I'd like to line up Stone, Sam smith and Rasputin in row one day and compare all the imperial stouts...maybe with a hearty maduro. Any takers
grabbed a six-pack of Stone Ruination IPA earlier this week. Wow this stuff is ridiculous. I'm a huge fan - if only it wasn't so dang expensive! $15 for a six-pack is a bit rough!
Yeah, Stone tends to be expensive by the sixer which is why I try to find them in singles when I go to try "new" blends by them since sometimes they don't always hit one out of the park... more the less the infield.
