    Was amazing. After the first sip you got that rye flavor, but it's super smooth.

    Came across this little guy and will be giving it a shot. Others in the past kinda blew.

    Hey guys, I usually am just a simple Blue Moon man, but I am starting to get into some 'better' beers. Not a big fan of the dark beers yet, but I am checking out a nice bar tonight, here is a link to their beer list. Any suggestions?

    cdaysker as a fellow Husk, have you been to Lauter Tun in Omaha? Any suggestions?

    If you're just getting into the snobbery then I'd go with:
    Snow Day - Hoppy but not too hoppy. Good intro to hopped up stuff

    Sophie - Good American Belgian

    Boulevard Wheat - Start with this one, it'll be more like the beers you're used to

    Bourbon County - If you want to try a world class stout, but it is a heavy dark beer( don't be a pussy, do it)

    Celebration - If you feel like you want something hoppier than the Snow Day.

    indeed. but it gets worse...this is what somebody from SN said about it:

    "Sadly, no bottles this year, and probably not next year either. We only made about 20Bbl of this so every ounce of it went into kegs, and those kegs will probably only see festivals and super special events..."

    I was just thinking this same thing myself, so here you go:

    2008 Darkness - best beer of the night. I had a fresh one in December and thought it was good but nothing special. But this was great, a couple guys even swore it was barrel aged (it's not).

    Bourbon County Bramble Rye - I was disappointed a bit, the rasberries overpowered the bourbon and stout characteristics. I've had all the BC variants besides Vanilla and Rare (soon) and this was easily my least favorite

    Cascade Kriek - Loved it, super sour, cherries were tart not sweet. Good enough that we pooled together and will be ordering a case from Cascade as soon as their system is back online

    BB Taxman - smelled amazing, first sip was great but no carbonation whatsoever. It was really sad because you could tell it would be such a great beer if it would have carbed properly

    Cafe Royale - courtesy of Fargin' :respek:. I really like this beer. Good coffee and barrel flavor. A little thin at first but once it got to about room temperature it was great. It didn't have the name cache of the others we had but everyone agreed that it was one of the best.

    Vanilla Rum Dark Apparition - disappointing. It's my first rum barrel beer and I don't think that rum imparts enough liqour taste compared to bourbon/whiskey/brandy barrels. And honestly the base beer didn't seem anything special

    2011 Mother of All Storms - Even with the age on it, it was super hot. I have one myself and will probably sit on it for another year or two and revisit the beer.

    Guava Grove - just a solid saison and was a nice break from all the heavy beers

    New Holland Beer Barrel Bourbon - didn't drink any last night but it's good. Beer doesn't add a lot but just enough, plus it's a cool concept and makes a great piece for a home bar.

    Enjoying the Expedition Stout now, really good, immediately jumps into my top 5 stouts.
    Speaking of, I really wanted to buy a bottle of bourbon aged Old Rasputin last night but couldn't pull the trigger, especially with hop slam coming next week
