92	(512) Brewing Company Whiskey Barrel Aged Double Pecan Porter American-Style Imperial Porter \| 8.2% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: NOSS

Club/Brewer Notes:
(512) Double Pecan Porter is a robust porter accented by locally grown roasted pecans and subtly enhanced by aging in recently emptied oak whiskey barrels. For the first ever bottling, only one 200L barrel was bottled. Notes of chocolate, coffee and pecan marry with the subtle flavors of vanilla and whiskey to make this a wonderful winter warmer worth sharing and savoring. We sincerely hope you enjoy every sip.

91	Stone Fear. Movie. Lions. Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 8.5% ABV \| 60 IBU Offered By: RONRICO

Club/Brewer Notes:
This is our take on a hazy East Coast Double IPA. Juicy and smooth with just the right touch of West Coast bitterness in the finish. The aroma on this beer is insane and reminds us of getting fresh fruit from a farm stand on the side of the road. Now, make that a farm stand on the side of the road in Yakima, WA during hop harvest. The aroma of fresh hops envelops!

88	Oak Highlands Brewery Resting Bitter Face Double IPA \| 8.5% ABV \| 85 IBU Offered By: PHATMEAT

Club/Brewer Notes:
Seriously dry hopped, yet with the perfect malt balance, this double IPA is sure to put a smile on anyone suffering from resting bitter face.

88	Lone Pint Brewery The Jabberwocky Imperial IPA \| 8.5% ABV \| 114 IBU Offered By: LARA

89	Lagunitas Brewing Company The Hairy Eyeball Strong Ale \| 9.1% ABV \| 56.66 IBU Offered By: DAVO

Club/Brewer Notes:
Especially formulated for when you wake up feelin' like you need to shave your eyeballs to see the new day. Laying there, staring up at the ceiling, head pounding, last night was a dim recollection. How did he get home? Was he alone? Looking to the left and right, the answer was yes, maybe. His head was full of 'rag water, bitters, and blue misery'*. His teeth felt like he'd been chewing aluminum and his breath smelled like a burning tractor tire. There was a wrenching knot somewhere between his liver and East St. Louis and he couldn't be sure whether or not he'd wet himself. A yellow sine wave rang in his ears so loud it made his teeth itch and he was sure that if he touched his skin anywhere it would induce a rhythmic wretching jag. If all that weren't bad enough, he found himself smiling at the realization that there was still one warm, half-empty, flat, Hairy Eyeball on the nightstand. Yes - There is a God. A roasty, toasty, malty, hangover-halting beer! Here's Lookin' Atcha'! Cheers!

89	Cactus Land Brewing Company Del Barril w/Toasted Coconut American-Style Imperial Stout \| 10.2% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Imperial stout brewed with toasted coconut and aged for 4 months in a Garrison Brothers Bourbon Barrel

90	The Lost Abbey Judgment day Abbey Quadruple Ale \| 10.2% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
A massive beer in every sense of the word. A stronger and more contemplative version of our Lost and Found Ale. Judgment Day is the base beer for our Cuvee de Tomme. Many of the Trappist Breweries produce a version of beer which ages incredibly well for many years to come. And, since none of us knows when the end of the world is coming, we suggest you stock up with lots of Lost Abbey beers so that when the end of the world magically appears from no where, you’ll have a beer or two on hand for even the stingiest of angels.

90	Brouwerij Van Steenberge Gulden Draak Dark Red Triple Ale \| 10.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Gulden Draak, lonely at the top for 25 years, now gets company The birthday present: Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple, an enrichment of the Gulden Draak range. An ode to the past and to the city of (9000) GHENT The Gulden Draak is named after the gilded statue on top of the belltower of Ghent. Such eminent symbol, that has been standing firm for over 6 centuries, deserves equally grand beers. The unsurpassed Gulden Draak as dark tripel of 10,5% alcohol gets, after 25 years of growing success, quite an addition, the Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple. All features of the Gulden Draak The extremely rich and complex taste sensation and the stable beer head can also be found in the Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple. The sweet caramel touches, however, are still reserved for the Gulden Draak. With addition of extra malt The new recipe, on basis of 3 different kinds of malt added in a volume of 4 times the content in lager, provide the Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple with a deep golden amber colour and a fruity scent. Together with the smooth and subtle sweet taste ensures this a wonderfully accomplished bouquet. In line with the traditions of Brewery Van Steenberge Just like the other specialty beers of Brewery Van Steenberge is the Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple a beer of high fermentation with secondary fermentation. A wine yeast is used for the secondary fermentation, which also contributes to the grandiose taste.

90	Brazos Valley Brewing Slippin’ Into Darkness - Coffee, Cocoa Nibs + Coconut Russian Imperial Stout \| 10.5% ABV \| 45 IBU Offered By: PHATMEAT

Club/Brewer Notes:
This variant of Slippin’ into Darkness Russian Imperial Stout uses toasted coconut in addition to cocoa nibs and Jet Fuel coffee from Independence Coffee Company for a flavor that will push your mind further beyond the dreams.
