I'm a little apprehensive, myself, but it happened to catch my eye at a time when I'm looking into porters. We'll see.

I don't think it was so much that it was bad. I think it was actually a pretty decent beer, but I had such high expectations for it and it didn't live up to them.

The first one was pretty good. It's Troeg's, so I know going in that it's going to be hoppy, but the hoppiness is smoothed out pretty nicely. Normally, a strong hops overwhelms me, but this one has the malt and fruitiness round it out. Very clean finish, so I'll drink more.

Went to Trader Joe's tonight for a few odds and ends. Bought a pint bottle (slightly more) of Nero's abmer ale (it has a name but I can't recall it). It was pretty good, considering the bottle was $3. I didn't let it cool enough in the fridge.

I also bought a 6 pack of Kennebunkport Brewing Co (KBC) IPA. I typically don't like IPAs, but this one is actually really good. Brewery based in Maine. Would highly recommend.

Also have a Mission Street Heffe in the fridge and Name Tag 6 pack (super cheap lager... $3 per 6 pack). Probably won't get to those since I have apparently lost all tolerance and the Nero + 1 bottle of KBC is buzzing me pretty good.

This one was so-so. It's cider-like in color and very hoppy for a brown, even moreso than the Dead Reckoning porter. Probably won't buy again.

Bell's is a really good brewery. Two Hearted Ale is their best always available, but there other beers are pretty decent too.

Pumking is awesome though. That screaming pumping must be something else.

When I was 17, I had my very first beer. I had my very first beer I purchased with a fake id. My name was Bryan McGee. I stayed up listening to Queen when I was 17.

Coworker brought back a Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine from a recent trip out of state. Anxious to give it a try.

I really enjoy it. A good malt flavor with dark chocolate aftertaste. It's a good imperial stout. If you like chocolate stouts/beer you should like this

Never tried the stone but then again I'm not a huge Belgian guy
