Ah ok. I have a buddy who has similar tastes that claims he really likes the St. Pauli Girl lager so that is encouraging but I guess we shall see. I really like Piccolo's make your own 6 pack section. They have a lot that I have yet to try.

Ah, okay. I mean, I have no issue with your rating as that is your opinion and your taste. Was just surprised because I don't think I've heard anyone ever say anything negative about it. But, if you hate cinnamon in beer I can see how you wouldn't care for it.

Went to a Founders Brewing even for Happy Hour after work, had KBS on Tap FTMFW. It was fucking awesome, also had Double Trouble, and Curmudgeon's Better Half on tap. Followed by going home and having a nap lol. Even was awesome, just wish I could have tried more. They also had a 2010 Bigfoot on tap that I was wanting to try, but at the point I was at, I wouldn't have tasted/appreciated it.

Ah nice. I've only tried one kind of Sierra Nevada and it was called Tumbler I believe. I almost picked up one called Bigfoot in my 6 pack yesterday.

Just got home from the Pub after having dinner and 3 LE Monsters on tap.

Now time for my OTrap post...Having a Tobak Especial with a Port Wine out on the deck.

Hopefully by the time my cigar is done the beers I put in the fridge will be chilled enough to drink.

Had a Macanudo 1968 tonight ... a gigante ... and it lasted about an hour. Never was a fan of the Tabaks, but unless it was a nub, they should be chilled enough once it's done.

Went out to dinner tonight with wife to a place that had both LE Monster and Arrogant Bastard on tap. I had the 22 ounce Arrogant Bastard (for $6.50).

Came home and smoked a Rocky Patel 1990 maduro.

Good evening all around.

It was a coffee infused Robusto given to me by a friend months ago. Never tasted the coffee, but more of a chocolate, well cocoa, flavor from start to finish. I liked it. I only grabbed this one since it was unwrapped and had some issues with the end looking funny, caused by my humidor getting dry, or it got wet then swelled. Anywho, I will buy one or two next time I buy some sticks. Ashame the cigar thread is closed. Maybe you (OTrap) should start another one.

Now back to beer...I've got nothing as I'm finishing the last little bit of Port that The Wife and I started...beerfail. lol. Well at least the Speedway Stout will be ready for when I want it.

Much respect to the Bashah and to Both Breweries. I think I can still get that beer.

I don't Judge. Actually they have beat out the big boys and won some awards as of late according to All About Beer magazine.

I actually enjoy PBR, still pick some up when I don't want to drop too much cash.
