Ok, so I'll start off with this one.

I like Imperial stouts! It's not really the right weather for super heavy beers, but this showed up at the bottle shop the other day and I had to try it. It's very dark, as expected, with a smooth chocolate taste, and just a hit of coffee at the end. A little on the sweet side for me, but over all a great stout.
Next up is....

I was a little surprised by this one. The misses actually pick this one out for herself, so I just got a few sips to see how it was. I've tried several offerings from Blue Pants and have always found them to be middle of the road. I really like this one though. We drank it yesterday, so again not really the time for stouts, but I'm not complaining. Sweet, chocolaty, with a little vanilla and caramel flavor. A strong beer for a hot day, but very good.
And then...

This is another one picked up by the misses. She had to have it because it said Boll Weevil. We live in Enterprise. We have a freaking statue of a lady holding a giant boll weevil in the middle of town. Anyway. Its a brown. nothing to memorable.
Man! You've been after it!Now to something different.

Peanut butter and IPA EWWWW! Not really. It was good. I like peanut butter porters and generally like IPAs. I've had some interesting IPA combinations here lately. Back to the beer. It's light on the hops so it doesn't over power the rest of the beer. You can definitely taste the peanut butter. It's a little sweet as you would expect, but just slightly. Would drink again!
And Then....

Omaha is a local brewery. I havent made it up there yet, but my better half got a chance to swing by while she was going to pick up some stuff in Columbia Ga the other day. She brought this back for me. Good solid IPA. Smooth with just enough hops to let you know it's an IPA but not too in your face about it. A good summer drinking beer!

It's a tropical wheat beer. Fun art on the can, fun beer in the can! This is a good summer beer. Light with some fruit to it. Wheat beers are usually easy drinking anyway. Check it out!
You show up at my front door with a bunch of awesome stouts to drink they are going down no matter what the weather is like.


I will definitely look for some of those stouts and imperials!
As for the last, I do like Smithwick (Smittik). The picture reminds me of the old joke, "I'll one each of those... in a bucket."
Dave- Sounds like it was a real sonofabush! I've dug out a few of those myself over the years. For me, it was always a requirement to dig the stump out and throw it as far as possible at the end. That sonofabush usually flew pretty far by that point, too!![]()
What’s up boys? This thread has gotten quiet. Nothing good lately?

I always add a small amount of water.OOOOOOOOOO! I just finished-off a bottle of regular Maker's Mark, I'll have to go look for this one!
Do you add a dash of water to it? That loosens the oils and can really bring out the flavor in some whiskeys and Scotches.![]()
