I had BLVD's Nutcracker on tap. I'm surprised I like the brew (and have for a while) because of it's hoppiness. I don't like hops, much. IPAs and PAs are pretty much out of my range at the moment.
I also had O'Dell's Bourbon Barrel Stout. Originally, I tweeted it was sweeter than Goose Island's (assuming you haven't aged GI's). Actually, I don't think it was and when I got to the bottom of the glass I was impressed with the balance. I don't think it's as good as GI's but it's solid. I'm also wondering what it would be like if you aged O'Dell's. It's definitely going to be different than an aged GI.
