Had another double bastard last night, and it was every bit as good as the first time I had it. I'm making an effort to ry every stone beer they have at the local store, wish they sold them in 6 packs.

They also have the Dogfish 20 a tribute to Pearl Jam, but since Pearl Jam sucks I'm sure the beer will suck.

lol agreed. Never been a pearl jam. Eddie Vedder's style annoys the shit out of me.

I've had it a couple of times and was less than impressed. It's not as good as some of their speciality beers. I love My Antonia.

Looks like I might be making a trip across the River this weekend. They will probably be out of the 120 by then, but it's worth a shot.

I was informed it is nothing special but a label.

Pretty good. For the high abv it is pretty drinkable. Really nothing else out there like it. Need to at least try it once. They also don't make much of it, so it can be hard to find. I think they were only letting you buy 1 12 ounce bottle.

No, I believe it is a 12oz bottle. That was the last one I've had, but that was over 2 years ago. I've never seen it in a 750. Only 12oz and kegs.

Correct. It was in a 6 pack when I saw it. Confused it with their specialty brews.

I really liked the Maumee Bay Total Eclipse Blackout Stout. I had that on tap down here near Cincy. I've never seen anything else from them around here.

I didn't get anything special on my beer run. Just some Red's Rye, for the Hop Headed Wife and an Imperial Robust Porter from Rivertown, a local brewery, for me.

edit: We did pick up a bottle of DFH Ta Henket to try. It's only 4.5 ABV. Should be interesting.

Sounds like a huge night for you. Oh to be young again.

I've only had 2 Reds Rye and a Porter...but we did just finish our second bottle of wine. Just hoping I can hang, in my old age.
