  Thought about drinking it last night, but my butt is still hurting from Crime the other night.

  Stopped by a place on my lunch break and they had Southern Charred. Part of the C&P program but is a straight barrel aged Double Bastard. I forked over the cash for that and will let you know how it is. I read the label about 6 times to make sure it wasn't brewed with peppers after your story. : thumbup:

  They are having a Zombie Dust tasting event at Jungle Jim's next Wednesday night. $3.00 pints. I may have to come downstairs from the Cigar Event there to have one or two.

  Having a warmed (in a skillet, obviously) Kasteel Rouge. They served this as the final beer at a tasting at Party Source (Curly is familiar) a few years ago and we finally started in on our 4-pack the other day.

  Ei8ht Ball Brewery is opening it's doors next weekend at The Party Source. I've already been in their tap room a while back when it was still under construction. The Wife knows someone that works there and showed it to us. Mitch, the Brew Master, will be putting out some great beers. He's known for his barrel aged beers.
  
  Have you drank all the beers that I gave you or are you still ageing some?

  This one is delicious:

  Nice, I'll have to check it out.
  
  I haven't had them all but I've made a decent dent. I haven't had one from the stash in a while, I'll have to crack one or two open this weekend.
  
  Thanks again for the awesome beer cellar boost.

  That was on 9-7-11. You managed to get another two years of ageing on some of them. Impressive my Friend...Impressive.

  They should all age well, right? Hopefully I didn't ruin any.

  They all should age fine. The only one of concern would have been the Lukcy Basartd, but I know you've already drank that. The rest are Stouts, except for the Stingo, and are high enought ABV to age. Even the Stingo is 9% so it would do okay too.

  hey RDI,

  [h=3]Gonzo Imperial Porter Magnums Signed by Ralph Steadman[/h]

  

  When Hunter S. Thompson died in 2005, we paid tribute the only way it knew how: A beer.
  Gonzo is a deep, dark, and rich Imperial Porter with notes of chocolate, roast, and a swift kick of hop bitterness at the end – the latter something we knew the Good Doctor would appreciate.
  And Ralph Steadman, Hunter’s partner in crime and pursuit of the American Dream, followed suit with a now-iconic illustration of a cigarette-smoking skeleton proclaiming “OK, let’s party,” which adorns each bottle of Gonzo Imperial Porter to this day.
  Now, we’ve teamed up with our longtime label artist, who is 77 years old, on limited-edition magnums (3-liter bottles) of Barrel-Aged Gonzo Imperial Porter signed by Ralph himself.
  Typically released once a year in 750-ml bottles in extremely limited supply, Barrel-Aged Gonzo is six months in the making, with the finished beer aged for a minimum of three months in oak whiskey barrels.The result is an even more complex flavor profile with vanilla notes from the oak and subtle and soothing whiskey warmth.
  Only 100 magnums were produced and signed by Ralph. Each bottle is sealed in wax and comes in a custom-fitted wooden display box branded with the Flying Dog logo. A numbered certificate of authenticity and pair of Flying Dog goblets are also included with each magnum.
