Had my first Crooked Stave last night, pretty impressive. Finished the night off with a Black Butte XXIV. Soooo fucking good and smooth with a year on it. Wish I had another.

Started last night with some Stone Ruination and GL Monster. Proceeded into some ST Creme Brule, Holy **** that stuff is sweet. WOW. It was like drinking something from Starbucks. So I then venture into the good ol Rogue Chocolate/PB/Banana Ale, all because Curly told me too!!! :) We finished the bottle and it was a lot better than the Bacon Maple but still not much to rave about. Got a lot of Banana on the nose and in taste w/ some chocolate on the back end but no PB, unless that was supposed to be the subtle smokiness in there.

You know it. Misery loves company and I just love me some medicinal flavored beers.

Picked up a bottle of The Buery Tart of Darkness, looking forward to drinking that later. Been wanting to try it for a while now, hope its worth the $20.

Had the option between Green Flash's Barleywine, Lagunitas Lucky 13, and Lagunitas IPA.

I picked the barleywine ... because I love good barleywines. Didn't hurt that the bomber was under $6 with tax.

It's solid and steady.

Out of those three I would have chose the same.

Drinking the Tart of Darkness now and it sure is tart. I love a good sour and this hits the spot, but part of me is a bit let down because I'm not getting much 'Stout' out of it unlike JP Madrugada Obscura which was balanced perfectly. Overall it's still very good.

As a plus, it was also the cheapest.

Perhaps I need to get into sours. It's one area that I've left mostly alone. I've had one lambic in my life. It was mega-fruity ... too fruity for my taste.

A friend of mine wants to try this, but really can't afford it. I told him Santa J would make sure he got some. Haven't bought it yet, but I will...oh I will because I want to try it again.

You have to get a true Lambic Sour. A whole different experience in beer. I love them. Nothing like wild fermentation as I can't get enough of that style. The fruity is not the same. It's more of a chick beer.

Split a bottle of Utopia with my brother for Christmas 2010.
My buddy just dropped off a 6 of Sweetwater 420 from his vacation in Myrtle. I love this beer.

Currently having a Shroominous. Brown ale brewed with shiitake mushrooms and having a Mushroom Pizza. Earthiness overload.

Ah, fun story. A one-time JV partner of mine (from over the pond) sent me a bottle of Sink the Bismarck. THICK alcohol smell. The taste was pretty complex as I recall. Think dessert (like fucking Candyland: chocolate, caramel, and black licorice) mixed with hops and some grain alcohol. Thankfully, while you could taste the booze, it didn't overpower the rest.

All in all, it was the kind of beer you had to be in a mood for, and it was far too much for any season but the winter. Still, it was pretty damn good. Not worth the price, maybe, but pretty damn good, nonetheless.

Anyone ever had Ommegang's Gnomegang? It's on tap at the local Giant Eagle. Thinking of getting a growler.
