And Sean, I have a bottle of Bitter Choc Oatmeal Stout with your name on it if you want to do a trade (we are neighbors since I live in the tri-cities).

While you're getting socal brews, you need to get a bottle of the Alesmith Speedway stout, standard version or oak barrel. Or both. I had a Secret Santa hit me with one of those (standard) a few years back and it was outstanding. I haven't had the pliny the elder, but I've heard great things. From what I understand, Bob McDole, a famous homebrewer, won the Sam Adams Longshot contest with a pliny clone. We have the longshot 6ers in Kroger now. Close as you can get without a trade from one of our friends from socal. The other 2 beers in the 6er are an OK nothing special bock and a downright scary cranberry wit. YUK. What a shame. At least I can cook with the bock.
I haven't had that Stone but I'll work something out (PM coming).
