Evil Twin Even More Jesus; what's with the hype for this beer? Tastes like every other boozy, high alcohol, Scandanavian stout. 100Pts on RB; Really??
Is this different than Evil Twin Aun Mas a Jesus? I've got a bottle sitting around that I've been waiting for the right time to drink.
Think it's the same beer, just brewed at a different brewery. I could be wrong though!

Went down for a Bison's game but it was postponed due to poor field conditions.

Steal of the weekend, went to Wegmans before we headed home, spotted 4 KBS's, unfortunately you have to buy at least 6 beers and no more than 2 of the same. So we bought 2 mix 6's for $10 each. I've normally seen KBS for about $5 a bottle, essentially we got 4 KBS's and 8 free beers.
