Yea, and Jimmy Buffett wouldn't lend his name for a bad product either. (Land Shark) ;)

Picture of the Russian Imperial Stout from the night I bottled it. Should be ready to pop one open this Thursday.

Picked up a sixer of Commadore Perry last night. Had three tonight.

Nothing special, but it's a palatable IPA.

Just had 4 Founder's Breakfast Stouts and eyeing over my KBS Stash right now. Not gonna happen. The Breakfast Stouts were great, but no KBS. Plus some are spoken for. Better to go nite nite than regret it the next day.

Had the other three Commadore Perries tonight.

Average IPA. I wouldn't go out of my way to find it, but I also would pick it over anything I could pick up at the local Circle K.

I know someone on here has vouched for Jolly Pumpkin, I gotta say not impressed. I've had two of their beers now, one was ok, the other was downright terrible. Straight drain pour.

Dang. I really like everything I've tried from them. Of course I'm into Sours.

I had their Bam Biere this weekend with 2 other people. We all found it to be utterly terrible. The other one I tried of theirs was their firefly which was decent but overly sweet. Perhaps the Grand Cru style I found off putting, not sure.

Which ones?

Also I began using a google doc to keep track of my "cellar", anyone got a better method?

Had an Oak Aged Arrogant Bastard tonight. I've had it sitting around a while, and it was pretty mild. Might have let it sit around too long.

Has anyone had World Wide Stout from Dogfish Head? Apparently it's 18%abv. I love stouts, but i wouldn't be shocked if it tasted like shit with an alcohol content that high.

I'm a big fan of theirs (DFH) and the beer store near me has a huge selection from them, about 18 different brews, so wondering if this is worth picking up? I'd also like to try Chicory Stout and Midas Touch.

Any feed back on these would be great, thanks. Love heavy beers in the fall.
