Verdicts:

Haven't had the Affligem yet.

The Storm King is very, very good. Starts nice and malty, like a stout should, but has a bit of a hoppy finish. Tasty. A few friends who tend to prefer dark beers over IPAs have been unimpressed. Too hoppy for them. I love it though.

The Double Daddy is good, but not spectacular. It's not especially bitter/ hoppy for an IPA, and a bit more complex, flavor wise, than most. A good beer, but probably not worth the price.

The Big Bear is very good, but not particularly interesting. It's pretty much the textbook stout, malty and dark, and nothing especially noteworthy. It's good, but there's not much to separate it from most other good stouts. I'd certainly not complain about drinking more of it, but if I'm paying, I think I can do better for the money.

I just polished off a 750 of Lost Abbey Gift of the Magi (pretty good) and now I'm having a little nightcap of a Victory Hop Wallop (****ing great) in a Ridemonkey glass.

Going to sweat it off tomorrow on PCH during a LSD ride...

Had myself an Oskar Blues Ten Fidy (stout) with dinner (soydog) but am now drinking scotch. I've got a regimen to follow and a reputation to uphold.
