Ya, it's a good "can have more than one" style Stout. Nice roasted coffee notes, decent body, but isn't a "4 pack and need a cab to get home" which I find with most craft beers.

Ipswich is a solid local brewer that does not chase the fads of the moment. Be curious to read your impressions as I know you like Guinness as do I.

I will definitely pick some up my next trip, Moses.

Nice haul Tony. Did you have a mule grab those bottles for you?

Re: beer hauls
 

No picked them up online.

Re: beer hauls
 

Thanks. The beer sounds interesting, not a "normal" ale to be putting in bourbon barrels.

Re: beer hauls
 

yeah, that's what grabbed me. not too many rates on it. I'll bring one bottle to our tasting group, and lay the other down. :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Sounds like a good plan:tu

We've got a bottle of the Hel & Verdoe... in the fridge. Part of a Christmas gift we were given. :) Looking forward to cracking it at some point.
