nukebrewer said:My banana split stout. It just keeps getting better with age. The banana isn't as in your face as before and generally the banana character has melded very nicely with the other flavors.
Sounds great. Did you post the recipe
nukebrewer said:Not yet. When I first tried it I didn't think it was worth posting, but now that it's been in bottles a couple months and come together, I can post it if you'd like.

I'm interested as well. I've seen you mention that one before. Sounds like a good beer.

NordeastBrewer77 said:Nice! I'm enjoying an English brewed, 80/- ish ale from Daleside. Haven't had this one before. Pretty nice, very malty, some dark fruit-y esters. I like.
Goes very well with a cigar, as do most good British ales.
got the mix pack with kona pipeline porter, redhook winter hook and widmer brr...., had 1 of each tonight, and they were all pretty darn good
Another from NordeastBrewer77...a Scottish 80/- on nitro--very enjoyable
It's near the top of my favorite beers ever list.
Punk ass Nordeast and his amazing beer choices...
Dude that reminds me...if we do another trade, remind me and I'll send you a Firestone pint glass.
One more from NordeastBrewer77...another canned nitro beer! I thought Guiness had a patent on this design, but maybe they licensed it?
I need to keep my eyes open for this in cans. I only ever see it in the clear glass bottles. It's a fantastic beer, but it's very rare I can get a bottle that's not skunked.
I know whatcha mean... Bellhaven and Old Speckled in cans, amazing. In the clear bottles, almost always skunk city. I'd love to find them non-skunk, non-nitro, to see what they're like. Nitro is so smoothing to the hops, it makes for a great drink, but it leaves questions about the real deal back in Britain.
If only I could find the Belhaven...
Yeah Epic makes some excellent beers. I haven't seen that one here, but I'll keep on the lookout for it.
