Seasonals are fun, I went through a lot of Pumpkin flavored ones (not very good ones

Yeah not a big fan of pumpkin beers, or fall seasonals for that matter, but then again I haven't tried a lot of them compared to spring/summer/winter seasonals. Can't wait until spring comes around for some spring seasonals.

aventinus is my all time favorite. dogfish head 90 minute is great, but i never want more than one. there's a bar in Old City Philly called Eulogy that had a great carmel stout on tap at one point, but i forget the name.

I've had multiple vintages of Black-Ops and we are actually going to be doing a 5 year vertical of Abyss next Saturday, I have '06-'08 covered and it's some good stuff. I personally prefer Parabola over Abyss, but that's just my opinion. I just drank my 2009 Hair of the Dog Fred from the Wood last night and I now wish I didn't share that bottle at all, it was that good!

I was just at the beer store talking to my beer guy and he told me he can get me abyss if I want it so hopefully I'll get my hands on some soon. Doesnt look good for the Black Op's though, so Im just gonna stick to my Black chocolate stout.
Ive never had anything from Hair of the dog, I'm hoping to this summer. Ive heard amazing things about Adam, and it sounds right up my alley.

I want to hang out at this dudes house:

If I had to choose one, Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Ale Asylum Ambergeddon a close second.

I wouldn't like to be in his house if a fire broke out

Yuengling or Guiness. Anchor Porter or Liberty Ale are other good, nasty, errrrr tasty, dark beers. Goes with a good strong maduro cigar.
