A Fat Tuesday party at a local brewery. Drank a couple black IPAs and a blonde.

Better, yes. Best around? Not there yet, but it has gotten rather popular and his stouts are usually very good, actually he has a coconut imperial on tap (a little sweeter than I would like) that was really tasty.
I’m drinking right now.

How's the stout?

I bought it as an all-grain 3 gal kit and it is surprisingly excellent. It uses lactose sugar and cacao nibs and there is just a hint of chocolate and some coffee in there. Not too sweet. The body is not too heavy and it's not dry and bacony like some stouts. I can only stand one at a time of most stouts like Guinness, but this is very drinkable. I used some Danstar Nottingham dry yeast I had on-hand and it worked out well. I was in a hurry to get that kit out of the way because I was itching to brew the Pliny. I kegged 2.5 gals of it and bottled 4 pints. I have one pint and about a gal in the keg still. I will definitely brew it again.

*note - this kit came with instructions that referenced amounts of lactose sugar and cacao nibs that were less than the amount in the ingredient packets. I tried to get some clarification from NB, but they never really gave me a straight answer about using it all or what. I figured they must be pre-packaged for a 5-gal kit so I measured out the amounts based on the descriptions in the instructions ("use a little more than half the lactose sugar" and "use 3/4 of the included cacao nibs") and it was spot-on. Next time it shouldn't be a problem cause I'll brew 5-gal. I like to do half batches of kits I'm brewing for the first time so I don't get stuck with so much if it's not that great.

Last pour of my mosaic pale ale while watching wrestling with a Toasty.

Annoying thing about being a small volume brewer. Always want more. But I’d assume that never goes away.
