Not a fan either, they're aggressively mediocre IMO. However someone bought a case at Costco of the winter sampler (1.5 months ago) and 21 bottles still need to be drank. Chai Tea? BLEH..... The oatmeal stout isn't bad, the rest....meh.

Had the 03-03-03. Very nice. Smelled Honey that went to dried fruits. Malty across the palate and a spicy finish.

The 04-04-04, just not a fan. More Saisonish. Lots of Lime/citrus. Hardly any thing on the nose. The Wife liked it. She said like a Lifesaver that turned bitter.

Neither will post to Untappd. Looks like New Years Eve drinkers crashed their servers as I can't even get to it on my PC. Maybe later I'll try to re post them there.

Forgot to hot the enter earlier after typing this. Finally got them posted to Untappd.

Did stop after the 06-06. Dark goodness. Felt like it was barrel aged due the flavors in it. So far it's my favorite of the Vertical Series. Maybe I'll pick back up tonight.

Was doing well during NYE, some friends brought over some beer including BORIS (Finally got to try it), 10.10.10 (tasted like apple juice). BORIS was awesome. Took a break so I wouldn't get hammered, then midnight hit and more friends starting cracking more beers... and I now feel like shit.

Haven't been hungover in a long time.

Bad news. In an attempt to lose weight, I've sworn off carbohydrate-rich food and drink for three months.

So, for these next three months, I will be following this thread extra closely and living vicariously through all of you.

Try Bud Light, the world's best beer.

Thanks. I need it. While I don't actually look all that heavy, a lot of that has to do with my height, and it's been wreaking havoc on my leg joints the last few months, so I could afford to lose a few pounds ... or at least lay off the damn bread and beer, as they're nearly budget items in my house currently.

I drank over 30 coors light in two days drinking with my college buddies. After the first two, it's like drinking club soda.

It's not that. I've had alcohol. Just not beer. No carbohydrates until April Fool's Day.

Just discovered this place http://www.triontavern.com/trion_tavern_beers_on_tap2.php. it's in New Haven Indiana. only about 20 miles from me. Lots of nice options on tap. They even have a members section on their website to keep track of everything you've tried and reviews on them. Pretty swell to have a place like this around here.
