Totem Pale Ale by Black Raven Brewing, Redmond, WA
Started the night with one of my imperial stouts. Then broke down and cracked open the 11-11-11 Vertical Epic I was going to cellar. Tasty, but not as good as previous years. About to have some New Belgium Trippel.

You think the Vertical Epic will be better after cellaring? I bought one today, but can't decide if I want to cellar or just drink it now.
Currently drinking a Santa's Little Helper, Port Brewing. REALLLLY GOOD
I'm not sure how much better it'd be, but I'd think there'd be an improvement. If I had some of the earlier years' bottles left, I would have let it age. I also don't know how well the chili pepper character will hold up with age (never brewed with chilis so I have no idea)

I don't have any of the earlier years either, although I've probably had a few of each year from about '06 on. To me, a vertical tasting of completely different recipes doesn't make a whole lot of sense - I've done verticals with bigfoot and double bastard - cool to see how things change over time.
I imagine the chilis will fade pretty rapidly, was it hot/spicy from the peppers or was their just some pepper flavor like a green bell pepper?

Started with a Smoked Porter, then a Cream Ale, and now a Milk Stout. Next is an Abbey Weiss, then another Smoked Porter. After that?????

Agreed. To me, it'd be more ritualistic than anything else. But I'm in the same boat. Didn't get to try the 10.10.10 but I have tasted a few past years. but never saved them.
A little of both, I'd say. Predominantly a flavor component, but I did pick up a very slight hint of heat, but I wouldn't call it hot or spicy (then again, I've been known to eat whole habeneros, so my standard of "spicy" is higher than many)

I just had s Schafly IPA, first of their beers I've ever tried and it was good. Now a homebrewed oatmeal stout.

Starting the night off with a Great Lake's Edmund Fitzgerald Porter then I'm either going for the Southern Tier Creme Brulee Milk Stout or lighten things up a bunch with a Goose Island Sophie Belgian Ale.....just not sure which way to go....decisions; decisions. 
Yum!! I love me some Ninkasi. I always have my family bring me some from AZ when they come. Just got some Total Domination and Tricerahops delivered tonight.
My wife absolutely LOVES those!!!
What's even Funnier is that you live in Lompoc, I was born and raised in Santa Maria.

Very Nice! I get a lot of the Ninkasi at the new BevMo in SLO, and found a brewing supply there as well so it makes sense for me to make the trip because my wife gets here brews either way. I haven't brewed in years as I got some pretty bad stuff on the internet, and we had no local shops, or so I thought. Back at it now and loving it. Made another trip today for my chocolate brown ale recipe. My first solo shot. Loving Docs Cellars!

I just had a Czech Rebel and It was pretty good. Now I'm back to my homebrew..I'm drinking BM's centennial blonde.
Left Hand Polestar Pilsner
With family in town bringing me beer, I had SN Celebration 2011, Dogfish 60min, Short's Cup A Joe Stout, La Fin du Monde, and some leftover Sam Adam's Oktoberfest. That and a lot of Dalmore 12yr Scotch.
Not sure if they are still open, but there was a nice home brew shop in AG. We have a Beach House in Pismo still, next time I'm up there I'll venture around and see. The Bevmo in SLO has been there for a quite a while, not a bad place. I am still a Firestone guy at heart. I just got some delivered to me from visiting family.
Three Floyd's BrooDoo. This stuff is awesome.

Head to Buellton and visit Figueroa Mountain Brewery. My Mom lives in Buellton in the hills across from the Firestone place. I have had both, and even though Firestone has there advantage $$wise Figueroa Mountain has originalty on their side. I will drop a pic of the latest from my phone in a minute.

got the first good, fully carbed pull of a keg of Brandon's Graff.
Nice!! Never heard of them. I will have to give them a try when I can get some of that stuff my way.

Check out the website. They have a new 1 year anniversary that sounds pretty knee wobbling!:rockin:
