Yeah, this is "the real" Dark Lord. You had to buy a ticket to go to the event to buy the beer this year (dark lord day http://www.darklordday.com/)

  Quote

There will be a lottery for extremely limited, hand bottled, hand numbered barrel aged variations. Guests will exchange their event tickets for a Golden Ticket with a scratch off section. If their ticket scratches off as a winner, they will have the opportunity to purchase one bottle of one of the four variations in addition to the 4 bottles of Darklord. The available variations will be divided equally between the 3 purchasing times. If you have a winning ticket you will be able to choose the variation you prefer. Some versions may sell out before others during each time slot. The variations are:

Darklord aged in Pappy Van Winkle 23 year barrels

Darklord aged in brandy barrels

Darklord aged in brandy barrels with vanilla beans

Darklord de Muerte, DL aged in bourbon barrels with ancho and guajillo peppers

These hand bottled, hand numbered, hand waxed bottles will sell for $50.00.

It kinda blows my mind how big craft beers are getting. Founders' Canadian Breakfast Stout was selling for $80-150 for a 750ml bottle on eBay..... It leads to people just playing the market and buying all they can only to resell the majority of it

I'm currently sipping on the Boulevard Smokestack Series Harvest Dance Wheat. It's basically a Barleywine made with wheat. It tastes and smells a lot like a Belgian triple. I might pick up another bottle.

Whomever mentioned the Anchor Porter :sup: Yes! Quite good. I'm trying it for the first time now, Nice roasty flavors

Founders oatmeal breakfast stout. Damn good.

REAAAAAALLY want to try this one. Sneaks is supposed to me me a sixer in exchange for some homebrew.

I took the plunge and picked up a bomber of Hoppin' Frog Barrel Aged B.O.R.I.S. Oatmeal Imperial Stout for $15. WOW, it's freaking awesome. Oakand dark fruit on the nose. up front you get cherry, plum and dark fruit taste followed by dark chocolate/coffee and finished out with a slight alcohol burn and lingering coffee/dark chocolate and oak. This is almost worth $15. I might pick up another just to let it age.

Unibroue is whoa...................................good

what flavor did you have? i've been impressed with la fin du monde and terrible

From Unibrou, Trois Pistoles is a badass Belgian dark ale. My favorite from them. The label is pure badass as well.

drinking this now. is good!

i had this on friday night, god damn was it good!

also had this:

love this one. i think it actually tops the 90 minute for me. oak-aged ipa's are where it's at.

Had some of this stuff over Thanksgiving, it was pretty damn tasty

pretty good.. a bit strong of a coffee finish for how i like my oatmeal stouts, but over all it's a tasty beer. i'd probably go with their chocolate stout or hazelnut brown nectar the next time i'm shopping for rogue though.

Jolly Pumpkin - Oro De Calabaza

An oak aged sour ale. It is fruity, oaky, crisp as fuck and refreshing, even at 8% abv. If god took a piss it would taste like this beer.

That sounds delicious!

So you dismiss the entirety of Belgian beers?!

edit: Also German beers?! This is a delicious Weizenbock from the oldest brewery in the world. It was named Worlds Best Beer in last years World Beer Awards http://www.forbes.com/sites/katiebell/2012/03/26/weihenstephan-vitus-named-worlds-best-beer/

Not including any English beers is a fucking crime against humanity, as well.
