Good one.. I like their ales, and several of them have that oak bourbon thing going on. The one I last drank by them had a similar flavor but different name. ...I think it was the vanilla one..?

Whisky aged beers are more and more common the last few years.  Another trend that seems to be picking up is cognac-aged stouts (WHICH ARE DELICIOUS)

Tonight I tried this limited-edition local brew and it was delicious

So is your name based on the SD song?
Yeah...there's a local liquor store in my town that does the same thing...you can pick your own 6 pack. I usually ask this one guy who works there since he knows my taste in ales.
Right now I'm really into Two Bros Domain Du page...a French style country ale. My other favorite for several years now is Three Floyds Robert The Bruce, a Scottish brown ale. But I like all kinds of brown ales, stouts, porters etc. I even drink the odd lager and some IPA things....but many of the IPA's are just too hoppy and bitter for me.
Oh....I also quite like 1554 by Fat Tire....they call it an 'enlightened black lager'. Cool
 
Yeah....I used to be a huge fan of Steely Dan (still play their stuff from time to time), I've had that board name for many years on other web sites long before I started posting here.

I've been sampling darker ones lately as the weather gets cold, that's when I like hearty beer.Beer


A great porter and most of the Founders line is very good.
Cool

Bummer.  If I find the stout I'll let you know what I think.

Anyone into the Kolsch variety?  Had my first one recently....really distinct spicy bite almost like clove, yet pretty light, just slightly sweet.  Not bad.
