Oh Founder's Breakfast Stout



Going to my tasting group tonight, bringing Goose Island Big John. Anyone have this? Pumped to find it sitting on the shelves when I was on the east coast in Aug.

RDI, just try a beer float with the Creme Brulee Stout. It's delicious.

Having a Wulver. Boom.

Just picked up the Magic Hat "Night of the Living Dead" sampler 12. It has 3 #9's, 3 IPA on Tour H.I.P.A. Ale, 3 Seance Ale(Saison), and 3 Deveiled Amber. #9, of course, is delicious. The HIPA is really good as well, picked up a 6er of that a few weeks back. Haven't tried the other 2 yet, waiting for them to chill. I have NO idea what the Seance Ale will be, but it seems darker than my taste. That will be the first of the other 2 I will try. I'm pretty sure I will enjoy the Deveiled Amber, as I am a fan of ambers.

This is the description from Magic Hat's site about Seance:
Séance is a dark, complexly concocted Saison, rich with earthy hues and flavors. A mild tartness begins the journey, and an underlying hop bitterness sweeps the senses through a newly opened door of the mind, where you will soon find subtle hints of ripe fruit, bringing you to a place few dare to roam.

That sounds interesting, I'll have to keep an eye out and see if it's distributed around here. H.I.P.A. I assume is an IPA right? What's the H stand for?

Haven't tried it yet. Just cracked a Deveiled. It's darker than I expected, but very good. Has sort of a coffee taste to it.

Having my first Nosferatu of the year, it it's fall to me without Pumking and Nosferatu. Also picked up some Wulver (looking forward to this after the praise from Curly), YETI, Stillwater As Follows, and Rochefort 10.

If you weren't Drunj, you should be after the Wulver.

This Flying Dog Pearl Necklace is ass ... but good ass. Not stanky ass.

That's a weird description.
