Enjoyed one of my cellared Abyss last Sunday. Doing one, two, three, and four year bottles. Last Saturday's was the two year. Great results, round and velvety as fuck with a much more pronounced layer of cherry, plum, and licorice.
Next pull will probably be a one year aged limited Paradox American Wild--haven't had an aged American Wild Ale before so I'm stoked. Yay beer!

Realizing I'm not into IPA's anymore. When I get back east I'll try a smuttynose finestkind and some other beers again and see if it's just what I've found in CO or if I'm really just not into it.
Been really digging a lot of stouts and porters.
My favorite new beer I found this winter was zonker stout from snake river brewing in WY
Got it in a can a few times while at jackson hole. Funny that I asked about it because I wasn't digging some of the other beers they had and the bartenders new nothing about it, the one new of it but was like "I hate stouts and recommend _____ instead" Best new beer I tried in a while. Really fucking good.
Idk though. The craft beer explosion has all kinds of stuff on the market. Used to hit up breweries on road trips back east but this winter in CO there seems to be a microbrew every 10 feet. Can't come close to trying them all, but I do have to say I've disappointed with a lot of what I've tried.
Might start going to the store once in a while, checking out what's there then looking things up on beer advocate. I don't always agree with them, but for the most part when I feel really strongly about a beer and look it up, we're on the same page.

Shipyard winter ale is probably one of the best beers I've ever had. Maybe thats a little bold but damn it's good. Wish I had grabbed more of them while I was on the NH/ME border. Not that I probably couldn't find it in a beer store closer but I like to grab my beers when local ish to the breweries or right at and around them if I can.

I have been drinking so much Rogue fruit salad cider recently. Which makes me realize that everything I have from Rogue I enjoy.
I also don't get the don't call it a dark beer thing. Black and roasty, sweet and nutty, and heavy and bitter are all terms that apply to beers that I enjoy. And they're all dark. If it has roasted malts or barley I'm generally interested. However, black lagers, dunkels, doppelbocks and such are not the jam.
