just polished off a bottle of old rasputin and I have to say, its obvious the beer is quality, and no doubt a shining example of the RIS style, but I just couldn't get into the style.... I was looking for a change from my constant diet of DIPA's, but this one wasn't quite it....

I don't drunk post often...however now is one of those times. :-)

I'm drinking EVERYTHING!

Uh-oh.

I'm bustin' out the BAN button! :-)

:-)

What is up with Oskar Blues anyway?

$18.00 for a 4 pack of Ten Fidy? Yeah, when I can buy Brooklyn BCS and Old Raspy for less than half of that, I think I'll pass.

I don't mind paying that much if it's warranted, but Ten Fidy is just a run o' the mill RIS as far as I can tell

Same thing with GUBNA. Sorry, pass.

It has a great chocolate taste and doesn't fill you up like you would think it does. It is probably one of my favorite tasting beers at the moment. It does pack a whallop @ 12% though

I was thinking the same thing the other day, dropping 16.00 on a 4 pack of GUBNA felt exciting and unknown at first, but then after tasting it, no way would I pay that again. There is something to be said when a beer like that makes something like DFH 90 min (my benchmark for DIPA's) look cheap.... anyway, Oskar Blues needs to get their pricing down for me to continue to try their stuff, 4 bucks a can is asking too much.... just my :-)

I'm lovin pretty much any Imperial stout right now.
Tonight's is a Yeti.

In a month or so, I'm going to make the jump and begin brewing my own.
Yep, I'm going to make my version of the perfect Imperial Stout!

Can't wait to try the St. Lou booze!

For your first i suggest a RIS aged in bourbon barrels, infused with brandy soaked cherrys and Madagascar vanilla beans

lol... yeah! that sounds like a simple starter brew! :-)
They sell kits for that, right?:-)

My goal is to have a batch for Shack..... We'll see. :-)

Green Flash West Coast IPA - super bitter hop bomb of an IPA, and I love it.

DFH raison d etre - went perfectly with pot roast.... and with a tatuaje noellas too.

Rouge Double mocha porter. Hmmm, it was good, but not great. next time I will get a Abyss from Dechuette.
