I've had it in bottle, but it's even better on tap.<BR/><BR/>And speaking of Expedition Stout, I <I>just</I> picked up a 6-er from Kahn's today. I've never had it before. Like you, I'm a huge hop head and only in the last 2 or 3 months have started exploring the stout world.CorrNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371462855078578516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289270363498255637.post-86207536298308795092007-10-15T16:42:00.000-04:002007-10-15T16:42:00.000-04:00I would like to see a nice Bell's Rotating tap dow...I would like to see a nice Bell's Rotating tap down there. MacNiven's usually has something from Bell's on there as well, and as a principal, you will never see Oberon on tap at MacNivens. A few months back Bell's brought in a special firkin of barrel aged bourbon vanilla stout. I would kill to find that out there again, but the Bell's rep said they don't make it often and it rarely gets out of Michigan. I have't ever seen Java Stout on tap either. I like Expidition and Java out of a bottle, but the expidition gets the nod from me. I need to get some speaking of that. <BR/><BR/>I would love to see the Samuel Smith's on tap somewhere, but I have only seen it in bottles and the Rathskeller usually has it.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913054347911490028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289270363498255637.post-38788512736727426952007-10-15T16:25:00.000-04:002007-10-15T16:25:00.000-04:00The was the second time, and likely the last, that...The was the second time, and likely the last, that I'll ever be ordering the Hobgoblin. As everyone has said, it's not that it's bad, it's just boring.<BR/><BR/>Chatham Tap currently has Oberon on tap. I wonder if they'll pick up a different Bell's seasonal once the Oberon runs out. Oh man, if they could get Java Stout on tap, I'd be there all the time.CorrNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371462855078578516noreply@blogger.com
