Cool. Like I said, my bad. Thanks for clarifying though.
Things just seemed to be getting out of hand lately, and I think we all need to stick together. We're all after the same goal, no matter who we are or what we do. Though the fact that I am a lesbian might cause trouble from time to time.
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

Last night me and Ritzy cracked open:

Girardin Black Label
Kriek de Ranke
Pliny the Elder
Avery DuganA
Edwin Tucker Empress Porter 2006

I love the Girardin. This was my first time having it and won't be my last.

DDC Aphrodisiaque. Seems not as good in the bottle as on tap. Burnt malt very forward, cocoa and vanilla barely there.

They were all actually pretty tasty, Girardin crisp and dry with moderate sourness, De Ranke with more wet blanket funk and a hint of cherries, Pliny smelt like I imagine heaven would, Avery with a big badass DIPA and then the nice nightcap, rich and sweet, just a hint of smoke and cherries, good amount of barley roast. Good drinking.

Oh man, those labels are GENIUS!

And I am seriously anxious to try that beer. Maybe not anxious as you and Eric but anxious none the less. Should be epic!

Ise Kadoya Imperial Smoked Porter. Knock my socks off good. I love privatized liquor sales (but my bank account does not).

I've been working on an Oaktoberfest & Nut Cracker, then my fresh hopped ale from last year (one of the few remaining bottles), along with this years fresh-hopped ale.
