Dark Fatha is a very complicated stout....so many flavors going on in this beer. Different than I've tasted in any other barrel aged stouts. Looking forward to cellaring my other bottle for a year or more.

Order a real drink at the bar.

Had a buddy order a round of cement mixers at a bar once. I wanted to punch him in the face. Twice.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing wrong with Bailey's on a winter night.

Just don't order it at a bar. Keep that drink at home.

Now, enjoying a generous pour of Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Barbados Rum.

This was the first premium rum that I ever purchased several years ago and is still a favorite.

Very tempted to try this one.

Tried the Connemara 12 year peated single malt Irish whiskey. Pretty tasty.

Earlier, had Bailey's and coffee...

Yeah, what are you gonna do about it!?!

Well, I bought a bottle of Balvenie 30.

Jealous. My favorite non-Islay (Balvenie in general).

I have a Dark Fathi in the cellar. Looking forward to that one.

I think aging the BL will help. I have one more DF that I will save, too, because I think there will be a drastic change in flavor because of all that is going on. Should be interesting.

Movie day today, so had Founders Big Lushious and Bent Brewstillery's Dark Fatha ("Emperical Stout" aged in Rye/Bourbon/Scotch barrels). The BL was a bit sweet. Needed more chocolate to balance the raspberry flavor out. My other bottles will sit quite a while. The DF.....WOW there's a lot going on. It's like an Everlasting Gobstopper of flavors. Delicious. Definitely recommend.

I had my bottle of Big Luscious this weekend. It was a solid beer, but it was a little too sweet. I still really liked it, but for me it isn't a beer that I have to run out and buy more bottles when I can still find them. I do recommend giving it a try, though, as it is still a really tasty beer.

My wife and I shared a bottle of Schell's Black Forrest Cherry, and I think this was better now than it was when we tried it at the ABR. It had a sharper sour flavor, that we like in our sour beers. Very well done berliner weisse by Schell's.

Also had a bottle of Widmer's Ginger Barrel-Aged Brrrrrbon (2013). This was not that great...I had had the 2012 regular barrel-aged Brrrrrbon before, and I liked that. This one had a really odd combination of hoppy and ginger, that I don't think worked real well.

Last week I got a 6 pack of Fireside Chat by 21st Amendment. I really liked this one. Easy to drink, just a hint of some holiday spices, and a real well balanced flavor that worked for a holiday beer. I recommend giving this one a shot if you're looking for a winter beer.

Rince Cochon literally translates to 'Hogwash'. Sounds good though, and at 8.5% ABV, I imagine it packed a nice punch.

Out checking out a new BBQ place last night and came across a beer I'd never heard of before called Rince Cochon, and since their tap handle is a pig drinking beer, and I was eating pig and drinking beer, I had to order it. Man, that was really, really good. Belgian light lager with great round spicy flavor. Give it a look if you come across it.
