Just got some Founders Imperial Stout. Id get it again, not my favorite though. KBS is soo close!

I am excited about KBS too. I am going to do a mini vertical with them. I've got 4 bottles from the past 4 releases so it will be fun to do a side by side of all 5 when the next batch gets released. KBS is good stuff.

Thats awesome. I've unfortunately never tried it before, I tried hard last year to get it but couldnt. That stuff is so hard to get, and I live relatively close..

Maybe with the new release format this year, you can get your hands on one of those tickets. I am jealous if you do! I'll probably trade for a few bottles at some point but I'd love to be at the brewery on one of the release days.

I live about 2-3 hours from the brewery and am really considering making a little road trip... I can buy 2 4 packs if i go there too!

Currently enjoying a weyerbachur tiny. Belgium style imperial stout..

It is intense. My god 11 %

I haven't read through the pages yet, but i will. i'm a dark drinker only, with the exception of blue moon.

some of my go to's:
AleSmith Speedway Stout
Firestone Walker Smoked Porter
Stone Russian Imperial Stout ( i drink R.I.S. type the most )
Lost Abby Judgement Day

like i said, darks only. so stout, porter, imperial stout, and r.i.s. ( imperial stout and r.i.s. drink the most ). at parties i drink either guinness, or blue moon, or sometimes an eclipes aka black amd blue / black and tan ( half guinness on bottom, half blue moon on top ).

with any of my beers, it's usually burgers, wings or pizza. though i can't do pizza with stout, that's when i whip out spiced ales.

edit: i guess i shouldn't say i ONLY drink darks, i do enjoy spiced ales, wheats, etc... but only on occasion. some other stuff i like time to time is an oatmeal stout, chocolate stout, and stouts with rasins usually all a good flavor


ooo imma try that. i love pumpkin spiced beers for the lighter side ( pumpkin spiced ale, drink every fall ) but i have not tried a stout pumpkin.

anyone ever have the game of thrones beer? i thought i was gonna hate the black liqourish, but it played out fairly.

Actually I do.

Yes, all the time, while I stalk d2jsp posters.

If you have access to Southern Tier and want a sweet stout, almost dessert-like, give their Creme Brulee a shot. It's really sweet but for an after dinner beer, it works really nicely.
Since you really enjoy dark beers, what is your go to during the warmer months? Do you have a good stout/porter for warm weather or do you switch it up?

I am going to crack a barrel-aged Hibernation tonight (4 years old). I had a 2 year vintage earlier this year so I'll see how this one compares.
