This seriously gets better every time I try it!
-The beer that is impossible for me to pronounce keeps singing that siren song calling me back for one more.

I really didn't like it the first year and it took some pushing for me to try it again on a Beoir night at the B&C but this years was love at first sip and it's been fantastic every bottle since. I like a sweeter stout and this occupies that perfect middle ground between an Irish stout (in flavor) and an American stout (in sweetness/body). I think it's really the silky mouth feel that does it for me.

This beer fits the bill when I want a stout AND when I want something malty; that's unfortunate for Clotworthy Dobbin as I find myself reaching out for Leann Follain instead when I want something malty.

I don't want to jinx it, but even the Beer Advocate crowd has given it an "A-" at the moment... (Probably just because it's 6%; lol!)

I have to agree, it's by far my favourite dark beer at the moment.

Thsi is easily my FAV stout. R$ich, full of flavour. have to agre with you on the first version of it. Wasnt mad about it but the current version is a beauty!

I'll find it hard rto find another stout like it

Ditto to the above

This is truly a world-class stout!

JohnnyChicago,
What part of Chicago are you from?

And how's the Chicago brewing scene taking the news of Goose Island officially being Budweiser/Inbev now?
