          Good, funky start, but the finish is too dry. Not a good balance.

            Finished off the night with Yellow Rose, and damn I wasn't disappointed.
            I'm not a huge IPA fan in general, but on a warm spring day I could see myself drinking this all day.
            Might go as far as to say my favorite IPA I've ever had. Just simple, not over complicated and fresh.
            I feel like a lot of breweries go over the top with their ingredients, trying to make their IPA stand out.
            But these guys just made a simple, straight forward beer that's kind of back to basics.
            Here's to hoping I can get many more bottles in the future!

                  Well, I can't really say I'm a big fan of this.
                  Not sure what I was expecting, but the chipotle flavor is just way too strong on this one for me.
                  Also it looks like this one is usually called the Texas Porter, but I guess they changed this batch?

                    so @Megatron1505 uses a modified dildo to open up his bottles…well that actually explains a lot to me!
                    hahahah 😉

                            I think this needs to be opened a couple of hours prior to being drank…

                                Top 5 material, €uropean imp stouts?.. I would say so, yes…

                                Nice coming home this way… My brother bought 6 Quadrupels, me I'm trying the Rye Triple again. It is simply delicious... And less lethal than the XXXX (which is 12%)...

                                    First, a commentary on Colorado beer. I came here expecting a lot of one dimensional hopped ales. This expectation was based on exports I'd experienced and the presence of hippies who want their beer to taste like nugs. While they certainly have many of these, I have to say Midwestern brewers like Surly, Three Floyds, Founders, Bells, and many others seem to handle that genre more to my liking. The main exception so far has been Comrade, whose Superpower IPA is outstanding, and whose DIPA rivals the likes of Russian River's Pliny the Elder, Surly Abrasive or Three Floyd's Dreadnaught for American DIPA. One other "go-to" for a session pale in a bar setting is the ubiquitous Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale. This has replaced Summit, the local, ubiquitously available EPA in the Twin Cities, for me.

                                    What has impressed me more than the pale ales here has been the general variety. There are astounding stouts, ales, and even lagers here. One of my very favorites has been Crooked Stave, who seem to specialize on sour ales. There are so many damn breweries they are forced to innovate to differentiate, which is great for consumers, if bad for people like me trying to limit beer consumption.

                                    Finally, there is a burgeoning cider scene I haven even begun to investigate.

                                    To the beer:
                                    Get yo pucker on.

                                    From Crooked Stave on the Surette:
                                    Wood Aged Farmhouse Ale brewed with Malted Barley, Wheat, Oats, Rye and Spelt. This beer is a recreation of early 20th century farmhouse provision ales. Surette was fermented and aged in our large oak foeder with Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus naturally present. The secondary fermentation with these critters creates complex aromas and a slight tartness

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      Seriously… I want you to fill a C-130 cargo plane with beers made by these breweries (and Crooked Stave), slap on its ass and tell it to head for Belgium...

                                        Gladly. Getting Surly may be an issue but I'll start assembling some care packages for the forum.

                                            I don't think 3F is in this or many other markets but I can look. Pretty sure the other two are.
