Stopping tonight on my way home - probably going to pick up the Golden Monkey. I haven't had anything I don't like from Victory so I'm going to assume it's very good. I'll let you know.

Had it a month or so ago for the first time. Thought it was decent, worth getting if you haven't had it before.

Don't confuse it with 400 Pound Monkey from Left Hand. I was surprisingly disappointed by that.

I'm not a big Stone fan but I tried a sample of their Smoked Porter made with Vanilla Bean today at Valley Wine Cellar and that stuff is fan-fucking-tastic. Also, I grabbed a 4-pack of DFH Burton Baton. Never saw or heard of that before. An oak aged Imperial IPA that is also 10.0%.

LOL. Yeah, I'm in the minority on that one but their Smoked Porter w/ vanilla bean is pretty incredible.

Stone usually makes intense hoppy beers, which I love...realllllly love. Best beer I've ever had was an aged double bastard on tap. I would pay a lot to have that again.

So I had a couple bottles of wine with The Wife, actually Threve total since we both forgot to stock the fridge of beers.

And to get Mr. Traps attention The Wife suggested we have a Cigar on the deck with it. She's having a Carmelo Joe from COA. I'm having a RP 1990 SMALL, so hopefully it will smoke the same.

Time out as it's starting to rain and gotta move under the deck above us.

Well shit as I managed to kick over my glass in the dark. Lucky it was only about six ounces. Still sucks.

But tonight I'll leave you with a great beer, a decent cigar, and a nice little shower...until it downpours on us.

And you don't wanna. It's a Carmel infused/flavored COA that comes in a small metal tube. I call them a chick cigar as The Wife likes them, them and CAO Cherry Bomb.

EDIT: and you won't have one Otrap because I misspelled it. It's Caramelo Joe.

Little Kings so far tonight...FTW!!!
