Rambo,

putting the finishing touches on a well overdue box of beers. it's stout-heavy. is that OK?

I'm glad you liked it. Drinking it when it was first out on shelves was a lot different than it was 6 months later. Fresh it was like it still had cedar chips floating in the bottle, it was that much cedar smacking you in the mouth. 6 months later it mellowed out a bit more, but still had that cedar taste, just not near as much, and then another bottle right about the time it "was past it's prime" was a lot more mellow. I hope they bring this back in a couple years.
That Cigar City 110k+OT I had last night was great. Reminded me a lot like a RIS, and kinda tasted a bit like Goose Island's Night Stalker, but had a more fruity tartness, compared to NS had more of a dark chocolate sweetness to it. I'd give it an A for sure.

Glad you liked the 110k. That flavor is the malt. Its a pretty damn tasty brew.

I'm not hearing any complaints from the man in my eyebrow.

BTW - the new Cigar City winter beers are out - Sugar Plum Ale Cuban Style Espresso ale, and Winter Warmer. If anyone wants bottles let me know. I seem to be able to get as much Marshall Zhukov as I want as well.

King Henry. I need to get my hands on at least one of these. Any ideas where in NYC. Otherwise, anyone looking to trade?

I'd rather not go the ebay route.

Bought a bottle of "Viva Bavaria" on a whim; it's very good! Very full, round taste. Buy it if you have the chance.

Iowa has plenty of King Henry. I have 4 waiting for me that my brother picked up. I actually could have picked up another few today while I was on my hour drive beer run if I knew someone was looking for them. Is it real good stuff? I just wanted it since it was the first time in a bottle, and it sounded good to me.

Picked up some of the 2011 Boulevard Bourbon Barrel Quad that was just released this week as well. I have 2 bottles from last year I had set aside until the new batch came out.

I've been a barleywine fan for years. I hear this is a real good one. I've been too busy at work and let this slip past me. I did manage to get my hands on a few bottles of BCBS. If you find you can get a couple more I'd be happy to trade you something from the east coast. Let me know what you are looking for.

Tooch, I don't know if you have any extras, but doubt I've got access to anything you don't. Picked up a couple bottles of Barrel Aged Boris recently.
