Victory Storm King Imperial Stout

Smithwick's

6 cans of Dale's Pale Ale from Oskar Blues Brewing in Brevard, NC. I buy it periodically and then forget how much I like it until I buy it again. I can usually find it in the cooler at Publix among other places.

Nothing new in the fridge since yesterday but Mardi Gras started locally and we went to our favorite outdoor bar after the parade. They have replaced the broken keg system and their new IPA choice is Blue Point Hoptical Illusion which I quite enjoyed (a little too much of). Followed that up with a burger and bottle of Magic Hat #9 at the restaurant on the corner.

Tonight:
- Shipyard XXXX IPA (Imperial/double IPA), which I really like
- Shipyard Fuggles IPA, which I don't like :td:

Sierra Nevada Narwhal Imperial Stout.

Mmmmm... stout!

Picked up two bottles of Stone Coffee Milk Stout. It was okay. Not sure if I would buy it again.

I've had emails in the last day or two from my local beersellers announcing the arrival of Bell's Hopslam. I tried it last year and didn't really see the big deal, but if it's your thing, check with your local retailer.

Love it, love it, love it!!! ^^^

Just had a Golden Monkey from Victory - tasty as usual.

Also tried Sam Adams Cold Snap for the first time. A little on the fence with this one. Forward flavor profile isn't bad, but not a huge fan of the malt backbone and how it finishes. :(

I haven't had a Charlotte brewed beer since Johnson Brewery closed in 2000 or 2001 and they took the last kegs out to the street and poured free ones for the public.
