Just pulled inventory of my cellared brews. Open to trades/tastings.

Nabbed a Firestone Parabola 2011 tonight. Have a couple 2010's. Thoughts? Wait? Try a 2010 now?
I was very disappointed that Class X was not available in growlers however the two pints I had of it was spectacular. Delicious, malty, smooth but with some serious balls to it. Two pints of Class X and a pint of their cask Class V with cocoa and vanilla (meh) and I was feeling pretty well! Wish the blue cheese burger I had their measured up to the price tag.
Are they bottling Class X? If so, I'll take a case!!!
We had a little tasting with some friends this weekend and I brought a bottle of Stone IRS Belgo Anise. Someone on another board mentioned that it tasted a bit like Jagermeister and that's fairly accurate. If you like black licorice or jager, you might like it. To me it tasted partly IRS and partly nyquil. I'll just stick to the regular IRS.
we thought that those Class Xs and the special release of Class V were both a bit too sweet for our likings. especially Class X, it laid on the fruity side as well. did you notice how they poured the Class X off the tap? that took forever.
I absolutely love their Santa Fe rolls. I could eat that stuff all day.
my wench brought home a bottle of that IRS Belgo Anise. we have yet to crack it open.

Looks like a brain in a jug.
We were sitting outside so I didn't see them pour it, but it did take the waitress a while to get them to us. The first time I ordered she mentioned that it might take a while because they seemed to be getting a lot of foam out of the tap. She didn't seem to be having a good time, as she told us she might have to cut us off the Class X as they were pretty strong. We were NOWHERE near drunk or beligerant at this point, just a group of friends having a good time.
As for the beer itself, I just remember falling in love with it at first sip. It may have been sweet, but I didn't find it cloying or anything. All I know is that I'm extremely disappointed that the only way to get it is to drive out there. No growlers...:hairout:
Kostritzer Black Lager
Blows away Sam Adams Black Lager. They have it on tap on The Yardhouse.
Had a taster of Bruery Cuir. My good molly! Talk about a malty-caramelly bomb! I think I might have to pick up a bottle or two, depending on the (I'm assuming) large price tag.
Alaskan Summer is a good brew. Highly recommend it.
