Had Aslin's "El Rio" yesterday, which was a collab with Casa Agria out of Riverside, CA. It's a barrel aged peanut butter stout, and was one of the best beers they've ever put out IMHO.
It's a standby of theirs and is pretty tasty. Last trip to TPA was the first time I've missed swinging by Cigar City's tasting room 
... we hit Angry Chair instead, and the latter was good but lacked any great stouts on tap during the visit.

Presently in the Menzies contracted OW lounge at ARN T2. On tap beers were Heneken (did not try), Melleruds Pilsner, a surprisingly full-bodied lager, also Bulldog's Sleepy Pale Ale from Gotlands Bryggeri (Brewery), with a hint versus the more traditional British ales, but still an interesting find in an otherwise not very inspiring lounge

I just brought home a 4 pack of Funky Buddha's French Toast, a brown ale with maple and cinnamon. I hope I can crack one open tonight and see if it changes my mind.

Last night: Zombie Killer mead from B Nektar & a raspberry sour IPA from Untitled Art. The beertender warned me that the second reminded her of Juicy Juice but I like Juicy Juice. She also offered up the $1.50 happy hour BOTD which was Narragansett. I informed her that 'gansett was the PBR of Rhode Island and passed.

The first on your list, the Nebuchadnezzar, is a real treat to my taste.
Mmmm, Omnipollo...

Tonight a flight with Shipyard Finder NE double IPA, Secret Llama blueberry wheat, Argus apple bomb cider and Hidden Springs Hey smoked porter. Finished with a pint of the Shipyard. Cider from Texas, IPA from Maine and the others local to Florida.

Fremont Lush IPA, it's what Alaska has for an IPA and it's pretty good.

Had a happy hour with the office govvies today (I regularly host one for fellow contractors), and was pleasantly surprised to see how many were serious beer geeks. I had great discussions of not just local breweries but ones around the US and even into Estonia (somewhere I've yet to go) with folks.

Another "Black Night" with Stone Neapolitan Dynamite and Sierra Nevada Narwhal Imperial Stout. Both enjoyable, the latter slightly stronger, 10.2 %ABV vs 8,2% in the former.
