Was looking for something a little lighter on the beer side today, so I had a few Dos XX beers. Talk about hitting the spot and they were ice cold which is really the only way to drink this one!
Got a tip for us?

A few bottles of a splendid white Burgundy (Chardonnay) - "Rully" - with friends in a wine bar.
A nice stout: 'Victory at Sea - Porter with Coffee and Vanilla" by Ballast Point Brewing Company.
And a beverage from the Founder's stable: "Backwoods Bastard".
I love this beer! Good choice.
Sounds interesting, will have to check it out. Thanks.
When I was rummaging in my beer crates this evening, I did find a sufficiency of KBS, - the best part of a full crate that I knew I had put aside - but then thought to myself, nah, I'll greet some of my other splendid beers.
I knew I had some Breakfast Stout somewhere, but also had several bottles of the always excellent Backwoods Bastard; actually, this one had lovely dusty shoulders when I reached in to grab it out of its crate - wow; how nice is that?

Recommended - a lovely beautifully balanced slightly sweet (and quite a hefty and powerful) stout.
A beer I haven't had before - actually, a Double Black IPA - from the venerable Buxton Brewery called "Battle Horse". Very tasty.
A friend showed up (at my invitation): He sampled a chalice of KBS from Founder's followed by a chalice of Yellow Belly from Buxton Brewery. And then requested a further bottle of KBS from Founder's.
For my part, I enjoyed the aforementioned "Battle Horse" from Buxton, and followed it up with two helpings of "Yellow Belly" from the same venerable brewery.

Sipping a glass (or three) of Cassagne-Montrachet Grand Cru - Veilles Vines - from Maison Roche De Bellene.
This is a seriously good white wine (made from Chardonnay) from the Burgundy region.

A beer - or, rather, a stout (or two) tonight: The superb Yellow Belly - a stunning stout - from the Buxton Brewery.
My second (and final) beer of the night is the legendary KBS from Founder's.
I was able to snag me some KBS. Picked up two bombers! So for Founders Beer, it has been a pretty good year. Was able to pick up two bombers of CBS and two KBS! I am one happy guy!
Bought this little lot through a promotion. Just had to pay £5 shipping.

Very nice haul! I use a similar company called "Tavour" for some of the micro brews around the US and sometimes some imported ones too!
I am very curious to hear how the The White Hag Irish IPA tastes! So far I have a few rye beers and it has been hit or miss for me.
From the looks of it, you like IPA's...
Very nice haul!
Really? Heck if you want to try one of the more popular ones, Smithwicks makes a decent red ale, which you can usually find in the bottle or on tap at an Irish pub. I love red ales! I love Irish Red Ales!!
Beer Republic also makes a really good Red Ale, but I can't remember if it is an Irish or ... Old Speckled Hen is an English ale bordering on a red ale. Very good especially if you can find it on tap.
What a wonderful year - CBS and KBS; do enjoy.
Now, enlighten me, please: What is a 'bomber'?

Very nice haul; I've had a few beers from The White Hag and all of them were pretty good.
Enjoy.
Now I don't know if this is an official term, however I have heard it used on more than one occasion, but the term "bomber" is used to describe a 22-25 oz bottle of beer. How or why they, they being folks I have talked to about beer whether at a brewery or casual conversation with my favorite bartenders, I have never inquired as to why they use that name to describe the larger bottles of beer.

I can get you a couple of bottles - $2750 each. PM me
here if you want to make this happen. Stored in my
Temperature Controlled Wine Cave since 1984 when I
bought a case.

Sweet... all I need to find is one of these:
That would be a complete experience onto itself.
90 minute, always fantastic, the new-to-me Palo Santo Marron was _amazing_, some of the dark[er] products get a little too "syrupy", they get an overpowering raisin/tobacco, lose some of the more subtle core beer notes, this was dark, but "bright", had a nice pickup of sweeter fruits that perfectly offset the darker roast flavors. If you didn't notice, it's also 12% ABV so consume with caution
That's a MBP 15" with a carbon skin
