Saturday Night Beer-Geeks...again

My buddies, Whitey and Bill swung by last night to partake in a little tasting...that turned big. Both Whitey and Bill are real beer guys, so we had to break out some pretty baller brews. Both of the boys showed up with a nice selection and after a quick bottle-waxing session we got to work on the big stuff...

I'm not going to pretend that I really remember the nuances of each of these guys, and considering that we had to break up the monotony of incredible beer with a few smaller (volume) beers and..uh...well, vodka tonics....so, yeh...lost the nuances..

So, the short and long is that you know what these are and that they were all damn good...here is a brief run down:

North Coast Old Rasputin XIV Anniversary (barrel aged)- WOW...huge beer, boozy, delicious...
SweetWater 15 - really nice barleywine from the local guys - incredible bang for the buck
Three Floyds Behemoth - another barleywine, but super hopped...again, delicious
Pisgah Vortex II - badass imperial stout from North Carolina 
Nøgne Ø Underlig Jul (Peculiar Yule) - an incredibly spiced x-mas beer

Overall, a really nice selection of big flavor beers (my Ba scores were either 4.0 or 4.5 for each of these), all had while catching up with some good friends...
