Name my RIS

[mrfocus]

Hey guys,

So I just threw my RIS into the primary on an Oatmeal Stout (US-05) yeast cake.

Now I've been thinking of this beer for a while (I've wanted to do the 8-8-8 RIS since that topic started, this one is based on it with a higher alcohol percentage) and I've come up with two names.

This is going to be about 12% alcohol, and I would like to let it age a while. I want to open the first bottle on 12-21-2012 (ha!).

As for both names, they're based on the winter solstice being the day with the shortest sunlight. So please vote on which name you prefer.

Thanks,

mrfocus

Unless it is immediately prefaced with a reference to lots of beer or women, the phrase "a long night" has a negative connotation to me. Just my $0.02

Given the date of opening, 21-12 to me has a nicer ring

Isn't that date close to when the world is supposed to end? I would just go ahead and call it end of days or something like that haha

Indeed. That's something else I was thinking of in each of those names when I thought of them.
