Went to dinner with the wife tonight and had a Sam Adams Chocolate Cherry Bock. It tasted just like chocolate covered cherries, a wonderful desert beer.

+1 to that. Had it an an Old Chicago out here. Was way better than their Chocolate Bock.
Rob, what did you think of the Leinenkugel Fireside Nut Brown? I found it in a Leiney's Explorer Pack a couple of years ago. The following year drove to Vegas and picked up 6 cases. Used some in making a turkey chili and it added a great flavor to it.
That was one of the few I didn't get to that night but I have a few left in the fridge. I'll try one soon and post thoughts.
Just trying to get into scotch, bought some Clan MacGregor, I like it. not expensive at all $9.00 for a bottle. Once I'm finished wit it I might buy something more expensive.
Last night I started with making something I call a sapphire gimletini - 2 shots Bombay Sapphire, 3 shots Tito's vodka, splash of dry vermouth, put in shaker, lightly shaken, strained into a chilled martini glass, skewer two cocktail olives and two cocktail onions, sit back and enjoy. Then followed later with a couple glasses of Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban scotch.

. If you want to try scotch, I would recommend getting a bottle of Balvenie 12 yr old Double Wood. I can normally find it around here for $36 to $42 a bottle which is about the lowest I will pay for a bottle of scotch. Plus I find the Balvenie a "best buy". Its complex, and hits its stride with just a small splash of water to open it up. I like Highland over Islay region scotch whiskys.
A cheap scotch whisky will often turn people off of scotch and is like going out for a high end steak with friends and bringing a McDonalds hamburger.
Last night had a Sierra Nevada Wet Hop and Ruthless Rye IPA. Jealous of you again Rob. Ive been wanting Kate the Great for a long time. I know I will probably never get it though because of the rarity lol.

I second Balvenie as a scotch brand, the 12 YO Doublewood is amazing, I've got about half a bottle left and it's a great value.
One pot of coffee; one diet Pepsi, and three glasses of water so far. The trials of getting up every Sunday and Monday at 1am for work and working 12+ hour days. Though, if I get out of here by 3pm today, I'm going home and pouring a stiff glass of Buffalo Trace bourbon and hoping I have enough time for a cigar.
Discovered Kane brewery this weekend. Unfortunately they currently only sell kegs and I don't know how far they transport. But if you're in Asbury Park or anywhere on the jersey shore, hunt them down, you won't be disappointed.
