Went to a get together last night at a friend's who is, by all objective criteria, a beer snob. Be that as it may, he has connections from across the country, and had some pretty amazing beers for us to share.

Among those we drank were:



This was my first time trying it, and I have to say it lived up to its billing. The first thing that struck me was that I was surprised it was unfiltered. It drinks really, really, really smooth. It was a huge departure from the Zombie Dust I had before drinking it: no citrus or piney flavors.



I've had this many times before, but it was really interesting drinking this after Zombie and Heady Topper. Frankly, out of the 3, I still preferred the Zombie Dust. But this is like picking a philosophy All-Star team among Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates and then deciding who's best.



This one was aged for 2 years. It was incredible. It's amazing how different it tastes from the non-aged KBS (Founders doesn't recommend aging KBS). Really, really balanced.



This was the big dog he brought out: Bourbon County Vanilla variant from 2010. Probably the best stout I've ever, ever had. Enough said.

My friend has this get together the same time every year. I spent $140 round trip to and from his house by cab. It was worth every penny.

Great lineup. Is that your first time having CBS?

I've had it before, but it was pretty hot; it had only aged for about 4 months before we had it.

Between Doom and Sweet Respute, I think Founders has been pretty heavy on the bourbon bombs. It was nice drinking something that could appropriately age for a bit.

I can see that, although i think even fresh the CBS had a great balance. I have a Doom and Bolt Cutter aging right now. Great list for you though, glad you enjoyed it!

Your supposed to drink Heady Topper from the can.

Your supposed to drink Heady Topper from the can.

Why?

Plus, we were sharing 2 cans among 4 guys. That wasn't happening.

I did, thanks.

I have those aging as well. Let me know when you drink one and tell me how they are.

Well, couldn't they put it in a more convenient place?
