Try to find the GI Bourbon Coffee Stout! Even smaller production and from I heard even better!! I'll have to crack a bottle open soon.
Didn't see it last time I was there, so if it was released some time ago it might already be gone...but I will check for sure.

It looks like the Bourbon County but with a red label instead of the black one.
If you can't find any let me know I think I can find a bottle somewhere.

Cool, read some reviews and it sounds awesome.

The Bourbon County Vanilla Stout will be on my radar in October!

It's not too high on my list but enjoyable nonetheless. I like the Belgian/IPA combo. Not something I would drink everyday but it's nice to have every now and again.

Need to go look for some of this. I love the 2009 Stout.

I got something for you to try at the Shack Greg.

Drinking a Unibroue/Trader Joe's 2009 Vintage. I think this is my 3rd bottle, but I'm still not sure that I "get" this beer. It's got this raisin/plum thing going on, and also a lemon/citrus thing going on, and I'm not sure that the two types get along very well on my tongue. But I bought 6 bottles, so I hope I figure it out and enjoy at least one of them.

Music to my ears!
I think when I get home, I shall enjoy some local OHB Imperial Stout.

I just remembered I got a bottle of Trader Joe's Winter Ale. Might crack it open.

Lagunitas Imperial Stout.
Very similar to Samuel Smith's ... meh, it's OK.

I had a bottle of the new Sam Adams Latitude 48 IPA last night. If you open this bottle thinking you're going to get something along the lines of Dogfish 60 min, Stone IPA, Racer 5, etc, etc you're going to be sorely dissapointed. This IPA is a little something different.
It's kind of a blend of the British and the American version of IPA. It's got European hops, British hops, and American hops which gives it a unique flavor among IPAs in America or really anywhere. Frankly, I think this beer could use a little more body and more malt sweetness, but overall I thought this was an enjoyable beer.

It's getting warmer and while I love Stouts, Porters, etc.
When it's 90+ degrees outside it's hard to beat a Stella in my frozen Giants cup.

Tried the Dogfish Head rasin beer which was pretty damn tasty!
Trying another Ale Asylum Bedlam which is a Trappist IPA. Enjoying this beer a lot. It's a smaller release and I think next week I might have to grab 2-3 six packs!
