We're Thankful for Beer



The pre-Thanksgiving meet-up was our second attempt at tasting all that is Stout (or rare, or expensive, or strong) and delicious.  These beers contain hints of oak, bourbon, vanilla, mocha, chocolate, coffee, oatmeal, peppers, cocoa, spices, and even spaghetti.
Yep - that includes a breakfast, a cocktail, an entree, a beverage, a dessert, and a wooden bench to sit on.

Tastings:
Wicked Weed Dark Arts Wild Imperial Stout [98]
Alchemist Heady Topper [100]
Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) [100]
Tallgrass Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat [88]
Dogfish Head World Wide Stout [94]
Southern Tier Choklat [95]
Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout [95]
Samuel Adams Thirteenth Hour Stout [84]
Stone Xocoveza Mocha Stout [97]
Prairie Artsian Ales/Brewfist Spaghetti Western [89]
Oskar Blues Ten FIDY [98]
Founders Breakfast Stout [100]
(yeah, that was twelve but it's rude to count)
