Ooh ooh, the Espresso Stout is pretty nom.
I've put a nice beer order in, looking forward to sampling my loot.
If anyone's ever in Utah and you're going to drink a beer, make sure it's from a local brewing company (like the Moab Brewing company or Uinta brewing company). They don't have to go through the same rigamarole as beers from out of state. i.e. they have a higher than 3% alchohol content.

I like that beer but yeah, it's mostly because it's a weird, smoky beer.
I like weird and smoky too, but there was something about the balance of that one for me. Plus there's no way I could finish an entire giant bottle... Maybe a snifter of it or something...
Totally agree with the bomber being too much, but good to share. First time I split it with a friend, 2nd time there were 4 of us because I encouraged my friends to try it, something totally out there to them and served as a dessert beverage.

Good solution! I probably would have enjoyed it in that context...
I had the Brooklyn Chocolate Stout, but I can't remember if it was the regular version or the aged version. It seemed really boozy to me at the time. Though that was last year, so who knows - maybe it was the batch.
