I ended up having PJ20 Faithfull Ale, Immort Ale and My Antonia. I must say that Faithfull was a big disappointment for me. I haven't written up a full review from my notes, but I thought it was just okay. I'm not that surprised because I had read reviews of it, but I'm still disappointed. I really think they should have gone with another style completely.
I'm really glad I got to try Immort and My Antonia. Immort had a lot of oak and scotch notes to it and, while boozy, it was pretty smooth. I also really enjoyed My Antonia. I really liked the way it seemed to be a perfect combination of a traditional pilsner with a hoppy IPA.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

It's been a really good week for me (beer wise)...buddy picked up Shiner Black Lager last night...pretty tasty, much better than the much-lauded Guinness variety to me
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
Tried an Southern Tier Chokolat the other day :shock:
Wow, is that stuff good (and potent). But I dont think I could drink more than 10 oz or so.
Yeah, I had this the other day with the Rogue Chocolate Stout. You're totally right. Amazing stuff but NOT a session beer. One and done beer.
Quick question for the group: I've been blown away by the Dogfish Immort Ale recently. The maple and vanilla is so tasty. Are there any equivalent beers out there like this? I'm sure with 1800 craft breweries in the US that someone has tried this other than Sam&Co at DFH.

Been meaning to post about Immort and I will be of no help to your question. I wasn't the biggest fan. Love scotch but as a beer, I am not sure how much I like the scotchy/smokey flavor. Have one more in the fridge so will definitely be giving it another shot over the holidays. Olde School on the other hand is great.
How many of those Olde Schools did you get Cliffy? I only managed one 4pack back in early November. Drank 2 right away and Im saving 2. Wish I had bought more. Are you planning on aging any? They are supposedly even better after one year.

I only got 2 but I bet the place I go still has them. They said they got 5 cases and they had a lot left a couple weeks ago. I drank 1 and have 1 left. Probably not going to age it unless I buy more, which I probably will if they still have it. I am going to age one 120 minute though.
I tried Lazy Magnolia's Southern Pecan Brown Ale and Bell's Extra Creamy over the weekend.
I enjoyed the Bells'. I would have liked it more if it was a little thicker, but i guess you can't be extra creamy and thick
Lazy Magnolia just started coming here to Atlanta by way of Mississippi and when i saw a Southern Pecan Brown ale it just sounded like a winner..... so instead of picking up a single or trying it at the bar first i went ahead and grabbed teh six pack........ :?
It was highly disapointing. Tasted more fruity than anything else. I drank two and then switched to my sierra nevada torpedo's i had to cleanse my palete Still got the other 4 in the fridge.. I'm hopine my roomate will drink them when he runs out of beer.

If they weren't going to go with another style at least drop the price point for the beer. Like you said it was ok and normally I wouldn't mind an ok beer, but when it cost 15 bucks it makes it quite a bit more annoying.
Thinking about getting a quarter keg of Long Trail Hibernator during the week between Xmas and New Years, leaving it in the back yard and going on a 3 day bender. Build a fire and let the keg flow.

a buddy from work brews his one beer. gave me a chocolate pecan stout to try this weekend. only one. looking forward to that this evening...
that counts as craft...right?
No doubt!
My buddy and I have been messing around with a kit the last few months and are planning on working toward doing our own brews in the spring...maybe we'll have some worthy of sharing
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

Just picked up 2 more bottles of Faithfull (and it will be the last time I get), a bottle of Bitches Brew, and the last 120 Minute IPA at the store near my house.

Sad to hear that World Wide Stout is going on hiatus. I really liked that one. Of course, I'm excited that Burton Baton is going to be available year round.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

I was able to get 2 bottle of DFH Fort as well. Anyone try that?
I haven't tried it. It's $16.99 at Total Wine for a 750ml bottle. What did you pay for it?
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

I think it was 20.99 so that's a good price.
I don't know if I want to pay that much for a large bottle of what is essentially a raspberry dessert beer. I know my wife wouldn't want to share it with me, and there's almost no way I could drink the whole thing by myself before it goes flat. I wish they'd put it in 12 oz. bottles.
