Big fan of Pliny the Elder Beer by Russian River Brewing Company an Port Brewing Old Viscosity.

Lucky! I hear they Pliny IPA's are great, can't get them here though.

I am lucky enough that 4 shop within 20 min's of me carry them; 3 of the 4 have a 6 pack limit an the other shop has no limit. But last time I picked up a case was $125.

Damn, my case of Dreadnaught was only $100. Didn't last but 20-25 days. Given the chance I'd still buy a case.

Last night had a mix suggested by a guy at BA called a Wake-n-Moo. Half Terrapin Wake-n-Bake Coffee Oatmeal Stout and half Terrapin Moo-Hoo Chocolate Milk Stout. One work...FANTASTIC. But it gets better, he then suggested one should add a shot of bourbon (I used Four Roses Single Barrel) to the mix, so I did and WOW! I typically don't make mixed drinks but I found an exception!

That's odd....The idea sounds good, coffee + chocolate milk + bourbon. Just cannot get the moo-hoo

Albert, that sounds :-)!

I've heard that it' becoming generally acceptable in "mixology" circles (as well as more fashionable) to experiment with beer drinks. There was an article in a recent Brew magazine that talked about this. I'm typically a purist, but what you had sounds good so far!

Other than the occasional Black and Tan or when I mixed a sweet beer I couldn't finish by itself with a Stout (ie Pumpking) I never plan one out. But I have to say this Wake-n-Moo add bourbon was a WINNER!!!

Terrapin distributes to Nashville so maybe you'll see it

Tasty. The beer too.

An ice cold black and tan

Last week in PA, had Flying Dog Fresh Hop, pretty tasty.

Rogue John John Hazelnut...tasty

Anyone been getting into Black IPAs? I've had the Odells, but haven't poked around to any of the others I don't think.

Founders Porter. I really love this porter.

That's my favorite porter too. I love the slightly sour taste.

I'm drinking my homebrew Imperial Vanilla Bourbon porter. I had one a week ago and thought it seemed a little thin. This one seems a lot better.

Yeah I get that too on the very end of the finish. Up front I love the great roasted malts, rich chocolate and coffee on the mid-palate. I also taste some nuttiness as well. I want to pair this beer with a cigar. I think maybe a Monte 2. The beer isn't too strong, and I think it will enhance the classic monte flavors.
