I actually thought this years bottled Hop Slam was on par with last years, and it's still probably my favorite seasonal. However, I wasn't real impressed with it on tap down at Flying Saucer. I did have a cold at the time, so there's that. I would agree with Palmer though that Double Jack ranks right up there with it, minus the honey.
I've been getting into imperial stouts lately, and my latest love affair is the bourbon barrel-aged from Schlafly.

When can we expect KBS to come in?
