Isn't that a mixture of a scotch ale and something else? If so I had a few of them in Big Sky this summer and they were fantastic!
Agreed the older I get the better dark beers taste.Don't really have a favorite, but I love Porters/Stouts/Dark beer. Lots of great choices here in Bend.

I've heard of this and how good it is. I've also heard of, I think a westy?St Bernardus ABT12 60th anniversary edition. I lost the bottle in the back of a cabinet for six years. It was the best beer far and away I've ever had. It was incredibly complex and changed significantly as it warmed. Very sad I'll never have another. If I had known when I bought the four cases what I do now I'd have put them all back and only drank one or two a year after aging them for five years.
Spotted Cow by New Glarus Brewing. Only available for sale in Wisconsin!
Have you tried Amador Brewing Dirty Blond? It's my current favorite, easy to swing by and grab a growler or two. As far as store bought beer I like 805 it's pretty good, if Yuenglings was available here I'd buy it but my old standby that's easy to find:Lagunitas RAW, Moose Drool, Mirror Pond (on tap), Beck's Dark, Big Foot Ale... so many good beers these days.
I have a can in my fridge I need to try. Some friends went out to the east coast for a wedding and picked up some two days in a row at the brewery so they could bring some back for friend.I'm gonna jump on this and throw a second (or third) out there for Heady Topper by The Alchemist in Stowe, VT. Never had a beer stand out more to me than that did. That being said, just like Pliny its tough to come by. One of my buddy's parents lived right by the brewery and we'd pay them to stock up on what they could get their hands on and bring it to us when they'd come visit. Sadly they moved to Texas and our connection is gone. Its so good the 18 hour round trip is almost worth it if I knew I could get a bunch but even the beer shops are hit or miss on inventory. Amazing stuff.
Interesting fact about Trout Slayer. It has been two different beers in the last decade. Bayern was brewing a beer under the name Trout Slayer. But the name was owned by someone else. So now the name is being used by Big Sky brewing and the original Trout Slayer is called Dancing Trout.Can't pick a favorite, too many great beers around. My go too's:
Denali Brew Co- Single Engine Red
Midnight Sun Brew Co- Kodiak Nut Brown
Deschutes- Fresh Squeeze IPA
Broken Tooth- Pale Ale and Pipeline Stout, always something good on the revolving taps too
St. Elias Brew Co- Farmers Friend
Big Sky Brew Co- Trout Slayer Wheat Ale, can't drift the river without some Trout Slayer
I could keep going. Lucky enough to have 8 micro brews all within about 7 miles of my house.
Great stuff. I have some of the 21st in my cellar. And 25, 26, 27 and 28.Be sure to try the anniversary Black Buttes
This was a great one after packing elk meat
