Guinness Foreign Stout

My brother said "your world will change when you try this beer." OK he's a bit dramatic.  But 'regular' Guinness will never taste the same.

Hoppin' Frog Oatmeal-Imperial Stout

First sip was thick and creamy.  Second was a near perfect stout...Hoppin Frog B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher is excellent

BBC Jefferson's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout

From the Bluegrass Brewing Company, a fairly good stout.

Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale

From the Black Sheep Brewery in Yorkshire UK.  They claim on the label that the ale has been tempered over burning witches...but it didn't have a negative impact on the flavor...which was OK.

Sam Adams Utopias

This was from the 2005 batch of Sam Adams Utopias.  Only 8,000 bottles were brewed using oak casks from the Buffalo Trace Distillery.  The result?  A unique beer meant to be served in two ounce servings (best in a brandy snifter) at room temperature.  A great after dinner drink...and at 25% alcohol by volume a strong one at that.

Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

Another damn good Imperial Stout...nearly as good as Stone

Imperial Stout Trooper

From the New England Brewing Company, this stout is worthy of the Dark Side...grab one if you can find it.

Narragansett

I drank this one for nostalgia. The original Narragansett beer was around when I was a kid (and brewed in RI)...now that my trip down memory lane is over, I won't be buying this beer any time soon.

SBC Brewery Black Rock Stout

Great microbrew!  Worth the trip to Branford.

Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA

A pretty good IPA.  Nothing overly special, but not bad either.
