That bottle might have 8 to 10 years of age on it Justin. I remember that was as rare years ago in 2005 that Kentucky Breakfast Stout is now. I still have some KBS from 2012/2013. I'll hit you up with some if we ever meet again.

Ah, the kid eating cereal on the bottle?  Step up your game.  KBS is top 20 BOAT, CBS is top 3. 

I've had CBS. It's great, but I've had a better beer that was made from Listerman's here in Cincinnati. Freedom Toast !!! Had it at a barrel age event at Jungle Jim's...Incredible you are missing out if you don't go there. It's mid January every year.

Oh I do have my Jungle Jim's BeerFest tickets for Father's Day weekend. Both nights. Been there every BeerFest since 2005. Even when they expanded to 2 nights.

We should meet up for a beer sometime soon. I knew the beer had some age to it, I think I had it for 5 years. I still have a few more, I'll share how they aged as I drink them.

Wife and I are in Lexington today. We've visited West 6th, Blue Stallion, and are currently at Ethereal Brewing. 

I bought a bottle at West 6th, it's a barrel aged red ale, to take home and age a little more. Talked to one of their brewers and he said it should age well. 

I decided to make a list of every beer I taste on our trip.

Looks like an excellent trip! I've only had west 6 beers.

We went to Wolf's Ridge, Elevator, Barley's Brewing Company, Hoof Hearted and Seventh Son while in Columbus on Saturday. An all-around great day.

That’s a hell of a trip. What was your favorite?

Probably Silencio or Dark Angel from the Funkatorium.

That does look like a hell of a trip! Well done.

I just got back from a cabin/hiking trip with the boys were we took down a ton of beer. Will post the kill shot once my buddy sends it to me.

Slowly working through some of the beer I brought back from Asheville. I've had two from Burial Beer Co. so far. Surf Wax (west coast IPA, link) and The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb (100% Brett IPA w/ pineapple, link). Both were fantastic, I regret not buying more.

I've also got two batches of homebrew fermenting right now. One will be ready to keg this weekend, probably. It's a Smash Ale with German Pale Ale malt and Amarillo hops. I tasted it last weekend and it was quite good. I've also got an English Mild Ale that I brewed with friends last weekend that will be ready to bottle in 2 or 3 weeks. I fear that it fermented too hot for a few hours, hopefully that didn't screw up the batch completely.

Quite the trip ......thx for the info

Hopslam, CBS, and KBS are all good batches this year.

Enjoy by 4/20 is good this year, as well. 

I'm enjoying a 2016 BCBS currently. It was VERY good that yr.

Had two from Platform so far tonight. The Days That Got Away Pina Colada Milkshake IPA and Passion Slushie Berliner Weiss. Both good brews.

Richmond's Andall/Answer is very good

Anyone ever been to Hoof Hearted Brewing, in Marengo?
