That sounds pretty good.

Costco’s requirement for a quality product holds true. That sounds delicious. I have a have a buddy who enjoys a (not dark) Deschutes beer called Mirror Pond. It’s an ale I think at like 5% but I recall it was refreshing and it bothers me I can never find it sold locally.

Back to dark beers, they are great this time of year. Cheers!

Stout is good. Amber ale is better. Pilsner sucks. My two cents.

I also like Founders Breakfast Stout.
Thanks for the reference to Kirkland's Vintage Ale. Will see if I can find it at the local Costco here.
Along the same line, if I feel like something more chocolaty, I may go for Young's Double Chocolate Stout.

I don’t know how to feel about Ax liking the same beers that I do… This may make me have to reconsider many things…

The stouts are just too much for me. Fatigues my palate. I'm a hophead or a nice crackery pilsner.

Cracked a bottle of the Kirkland 2023 Margaux last night. It got great reviews and is a nice Bordeaux, but to my palate it had no Margaux character at all.

I have stopped drinking beer as it making me too stout.

Has anybody tried Theakston's Old Peculier? It's worth a go if you ever see it on sale.

However, I've never really been a fan of dark beer. I like a good bitter.

[Mik]

Yep. Mo' bitta, mo' betta.

Sam Smith pale ale used to be my favorite.

Like Theakstons, a Yorkshire beer. It might be grim up north, but there are compensations.
