Definitely! I seem to like these darker beers colder, after tasting a few as they warm up... But all in all I continue to enjoy every taste!

I'm drinking a Cigar City Double Cream Ale from a growler I bought this weekend. They are making some excellent beers and being recognized for it. Still difficult to get even here in SoFla. I have a bunch in the fridge to hold be over for a while.

But Its brutal and Loving it
To me Coffee Bender is my least favorite of Surly's four "regulars". Too much like a coffee drink and not enough like beer. But they sell the heck out of it so I am clearly in the minority opinion.
The other beers you mention are thicker - more viscous- than CB, which is a brown ale cold brewed with copious coffee.

Jai Alai is one stinking awesome IPA. I just hate that they're funded by the strip club industry in Tampa.

I will have to revisit it tomorrow, I remember the drinkability from it was very high- But was probably my first Dark rich brew besides Guinness etc... This is a great new venture for me! Cannot wait for the next mysterious glass

Drinking a Boulevard Single-wide IPA, my first. This is a nice IPA, will certainly buy more in the future.

Sierra Nevada Kellerwies and 2010 Bigfoot Ale.
Bought an extra six pack of Bigfoot to put in the back of the fridge.

TASTY! My first Boulevard was a Double Wide, which I tried the single first but my only local shop in Clear lake offers a few extreme IPA"s only in some selections.. BOOO!
right now i am trying a Founders Backwoods Bastard.. Wow, not what i expected.. Thought it was going to be much richer, darker, but it has a really light mouth feel, not much of a bourbon kick but possibly the proof
:-) I seem to taste more of the barrel, and the Bourbon mouth 'burn' rather than much flavor, But I am enjoying it

BTW, ST, the Baltic Porter from Schells is pretty much a thick syrupy meal in a glass, plan accordingly. I love thick beer and I could only comfortably drink one without feeling like someone would poke my bloated gut with a sharp stick.

Right on mr. Pete!
Going to vegas any time soon?

had my first Sierra Nevada Glissade last night. Won'tb e my last, it was very good. I think I heard (maybe here?) that this is supposed to be the same recipe as the "original" Coors from the 1970's. If that's true, it was a great beer. I'll be buying more of this for sure.
