Some Brown’s oatmeal, Youngs double choc., and a few 750s round out the bunch. Slowly chipping away at the case of Bourbon County Stout in the cellar.

Bell’s Two Hearted is decent. A bit boring, but I’ve been drinking it for a bit because it’s a real beer that fit with the diet I was on (only 5 carbs per bottle).

Had Iron Maiden Trooper, was pretty good. I guess empty bottles sell online for about the same price our full bottles were purchased for?

My friend’s brought this over after one of them made the mistake of volunteering $20 for the beer purchase: Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Ale. Not worth the money, its a trainwreck of weird flavors.

I have two or three bottles of the 2013 trader joe’s vintage ale in my house. I might crack one open to see what they are like fresh, then age the rest at 6 month intervals.
