Wow.

I'm not a style Nazi, but I wouldn't call this an Imperial Stout (even less so than Grand River's Russian Gun)... but this is ONE HELL OF AN OLD ALE!
That's what I was drinking last night as well! Friggin' delicious. Just fantastic, an amped up, more complex version of Old Viscosity which I thought was delicious in its own right.

Drinking Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti.
So good.
The cayenne adds a small but nice bit of heat.

Sip of the homebrew IPA me and a friend just made, albeit from a Cooper's kit. (First homebrew!)

And Muskoka Harvest Ale. Delicious.

You are at the top of a very slippery slope, this will not be your last homebrew, I guarantee that! Congrats!

Rush River IIPA - not bad, but I'd like to see what a fresh bottle would taste like. Will likely nurse a SuperCollider tonight

Laker Lager
Bacchus
Muskoka Cream Ale x2 (maybe 3?)

I really love the Muskoka Cream. If I can find it fresh-ish in my area it's one of my favourite OCB brews to session (too often though, it's old and stale :( ).

Maine Beer Company Peeper Ale.

Was recently in Maine and the Maine Beer Company was the big revelation for me. I had Allagash, Geary's, Shipyard....all were fine but none were something I'd go out of my way for, but I was very impressed with what I've had from this brewery, specifically the Zoe and Peeper. I was kicking myself that I didn't buy more but then I found more in Burlington, VT on my way home so I stocked up. Next time I will definitely hit the brewery itself.
