On Tap: Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout 

In this excellent incarnation of Yeti Imperial Stout from Great Divide Brewery; they've toned down the hops to allow coca nibs to give some pleasing bitterness, and vanilla attributes of the oak-aging gives a combined aroma of a gourmet chocolate bar. A dash of cheyenne keeps things lively, adding some additional complexity to taste but also a subtle warmth to the finish. Pours a pitch black color with a tan head. Aroma is super chocolate forward, with a hint of cayenne, some roasted malt, coffee, oak, vanilla and some dark fruit notes. 

ABV: 9.5% 

Current rating at rate beer: 100/100

Old Peculier, available again in bottle: now at the Independent Bar Tampa 

For a while there, one of England's most famous beers was conspicuously absent from shelves and bars all around the world as when the Theakston's brand had left family hands, several of their beers started to fade into obscurity. But in 2004 four of the Theakston brothers, Nick, Simon, Tim and Edward brought the brand back into into the family and major overhauls began at the original brewery in Masham, North Yorkshire, England. 

The fruits of their labors have again brought us Old Peculier (5.6% ABV), Theakston's most famous beer. Old Peculier has been made under the same name since the 1890s. In 2000, it won the silver medal in the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA)'s "Champion Winter Beer of Britain" 2000 competition. The label on the bottle describes it as a "full bodied, rich, smooth tasting ale with a mysterious and distinctive flavour". In 1985 The Economist dubbed it the "doyen of real ales."

This is rich and malty English Ale at it's finest. 

Come enjoy a bottle over at the Independent Bar Tampa!
