About: My first beer was Budweiser. I was about 9 or 10, Dad and I were broken down and the side of the road and all there was to drink was Budweiser. So I had a swig of his, hated it!
I didn't drink beer again until I joined the Marine Corps. I was in Quantico, attending Small Computer Systems Specialist school, when I accidentally knocked a beer out the fridge and broke it. My buddies said now I gotta drink one! The rest is history. The broken beer was a Red Dog by the way.
Now days I am really a hop head that enjoys the IPAs [Stone IPA; Lagunitas IPA] and Douple IPAs [Moylan's; Hair of the Dog Blue Dot]. I also like Belgians [St Bernardus; Delirium; Three Philosopher's] a lot! I also like the Stouts and Porters [Black Butte] as well.
I enjoy going to breweries to sample as well as going to pubs and taverns. I also like enjoying beer with friends and bouncing ideas off of other intelligent people as well. Last time I was at O'Brien's I was shooting the shit with a couple of random strangers.
I hope to someday do a pub/tavern crawl across Europe. That's all I want. Simple.

Oskar Blues Imperial Stout

Overall Rating: A
Style: Imperial Stout
Serving Style: Cans 120z
ABV: 9.5%
Price: $9.71/six pack
Aroma: Roasted, caramel, coffee aromas are abound with this bad boy. Like a cold cup of coffee!
Appearance: Pitch black with a nice brown head. I messed up and didn’t put my memory stick in the camera so my first images were lost. With my first pour it overflowed right out the glass and all over the counter.
Flavor: Coffee, chocolates and MORE coffee flavors.
Mouthfeel: Grainy and chewy, like an Imperial Stout should be!
Enjoyability: Very enjoyable! This would be a good brew to take to the beach, offer it up to passing, hot chicks, grand-ma, aunts, uncles, little infants.
Another take: Fermentedly Challenged | The Phoenix [CAW!]
