well, after drinking numerous Great Divide Espresso Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stouts (because it was a revelation) i finally moved on to some other stouts
rogue shakespeare stout - a good beer, but didn't wow me for some reason, thin body, probably still comparing things unfavorably to the yeti
stone imperial russian stout - very fine, enjoyed immensely
and now tonight for the ku game:
left hand brewery 2009 oak aged imperial stout
on recommendation of my beer guy (also have a Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout as backup, i'm reading some very mixed reviews for the left hand, oh well)...he also mentioned a Mikkeller Chipotle Porter, anyone tried it?
hard to imagine liking it for more than a few drinks
