This years Imperial Mocha Stout 9.8% is available at my local brewery

Doing a compare with last years that’s been aged in bourbon barrels 10%

Both superb but the aged has more going on

It's so strange to think of how much less suffering there would be in the world if a certain slice of America gave just a tiny bit more of a shit about keeping a white supremacist out of the White House.
