Two of those in a half hour would knock anyone down

Challenge accepted

I've done 2 Mephistopheles in a row...it was something f*cking awesome x2

They were 2007's too

First aged stout I've had the chance to sample, MUCH better than a fresh bottle.

2x 120 Minute IPA's was worse

Picked up:
Stone Ruination
Arrogant Bastard
Dundee Festive Ale
Anderson Valley Boont Ale

Oh and a Molson Canadian

Fresh Ruination is very good. An expensive double ipa, but one of my favorites from Stone

$6 for the big bottle, didn't figure it to be too expensive.

I've paid around $17 for a six pack. I guess buying a bomber isn't too bad.

Have you tried Ipswich Oatmeal Stout? They are one of my local favorites brewery and this is a great offering from them.

I actually think I saw that at Binnys yesterday, Moses....so you definitely recommend it?

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.
