I had an Illusione MK last night and thought it was fantastic. It started off spicy then smoothed out with rich, leathery flavors. Beautifully made as well. I've burned quite a few of the DPG Black Perlas as well. Boli PC always works for me as well.

Nice review as always. Love the Sixth Glass. I had an '02 898 at the Lake over the weekend, and it was a classic. I don't usually get to smoke something that big, so it was nice to have the time to really enjoy it. This was my first Ramon Allones, and I was a little surprised by the strength. It...

Sorry no pictures. Here's the hype from the brewery: "Ola Dubh (or ‘Black Oil’) is a collaboration between Harviestoun Brewery and Highland Park, Distiller of the Year*. It is based on Harviestoun’s award-winning Old Engine Oil. With more than a stylistic nod to the classic Imperial Porters...

Nice, Oskar Blues is supposed to come to KC soon, I'm looking forward to some Dale's, Old Chub, and hopefully Ten Fidy!

I smoked Anejo #50 and shared a bottle of Cosentino Cigarzin with my wife. Great combination.

I don't have any specific pairings, but I prefer a malty beer with a cigar. I've really been enjoying Baltic Porters like a Sinebrychoff. Goose Island Bourbon County Stout is a classic, but you need a strong cigar. Scotch ale like a MacEwan's, Celebrator Dopplebock, and Belgian Dubble and Dark...

Thanks guys. My wife and kids took me to the Royals game today, and they actually won. I'm having a Saison Dupont tonight. It's been a good weekend. My wife made my a wicked surf and turf last night, and I had an Opus Robusto and a glass of Black Bushmills on Friday night.

Those are two of my favorites as well. Ayinger's Brau-Weisse and Ur-Weisse (dunkel) are both top notch as well. You can't go wrong with anything Ayinger IMO.

I'm not sure if it is available in the US any more, but Thurn Und Taxis Roggen was always considered a classic example of a German Rye beer. I haven't seen it in years. Rye can give a bit of a spicy flavor. I'm a big fan of the Hop Rod Rye as well. The rumor is Bear Republic is coming to...

Skull Splitter Scotch Ale with a Padilla 1932 Robusto. I've been working my ass off at my new job, and the boss let us off early today. I also picked up some 2006 Goose Island Matilda, some of the new batch of Schneider-Brooklyner Hopfen Weiss, and a bottle of Harviestoun Ola Dubh 16 year old. I...

I'll repost my reply as well. The Cherry and Raspberry are fantastic beers. My wife loves them. They are great with chocolate desserts. I like to drink them in a champagne flute.

I think I've got wood! That's some good beer.

Nice, we just got Southern Tier in KC. I had the Big Red, and I've got the Un Earthly in the Fridge. We didn't get the Barley Wine. I would have been all over that. The Red was pretty unique, big malt flavor, lots of hop aroma, but not bitterness. They use low alpha hops. Good price as well.

Holy Sh!t, that's a lot of good beer!

Category 6: Fruit and Vegetable Beer (70 Entries) Bronze Alaskan Jalapeno Imperial IPA Alaskan Brewing Co. Juneau, Alaska That sounds like a palate crusher! My favorite beer name: Category 63: Oatmeal Stout (35 Entries) Bronze Velvet Merkin Firestone Walker Co. Paso Robles, California

It has been a long winter. I went through a lot of DPG Cuban Classic Perlas. I couldn't believe that it was snowing last weekend. I don't smoke a lot of large formats, but I do have an old RA 898 that I've been looking forward to, along with a couple of RyJ Churchills that I hope to share with...

Wow! Nice score. I got about and ounce of Supplication at a tasting recently. Enough to tell that's it's amazing!

That's too bad, I had some great beers there over Spring Break. Great place.

I didn't realize there wasn't an exception for tobacco shops. When they banned smoking in Lawrence and some of the suburbs, they excluded tobacco shops. The casino exception is a crock of sh!t IMO. Who enforces this? I really can't see the KCMO cops enforcing this on you guys. I'm sure they...

Wait till you get to the Expedition! I found myself drinking a lot of Bell's over the winter. The regular production beers can be a little hit or miss. I've never understood why people get worked up about the Oberon. Some of the seasonals are pretty amazing. The Third Coast Old Ale and the...
