I will say 09 has been my favorite so far as well. It's really turning into an amazing beer right now.

Can't seem to find it around here. And we have a ton of great beer available.

If it makes you feel any better Peter, Goose Island Bourbon County was damn near impossible to get this year... It was gone the day it hit shelves in Chicago, let alone the rest of Illinois... I'm jealous of the guys who went long on the market for 09 Bourbon County, because it's drinking 10x better than it was fresh.. Perfect barrel aged stout.

I was happy I did stock up on the 09's. Still crazy to think that it was on the shelves for a year.

Yep. I remember when it would sit for awhile. Not anymore though.

Went to my local liquor store last night with my growler in hand. They were having a theme: "Dark Side of the Brew" in honor of Pink Floyd. Well, I'm not a huge fan of Floyd, but the beer selection was
:-).
I ended up getting it filled with Founders Imperial Stout (2011), but was given generous samples of Oskar Blues Ten Fidy, Brooklyn Chocolate Stout, Avery the Czar (2010), Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout, Lost Abbey Serpent's Stout and one more I can't think of at the moment. Pretty cool theme with some very impressive beers.
