These Friends are Pokémon Trainers. These Pokémon Trainers are my Friends.

Also there are 12 hidden Icrontic references in the OP here. I wonder who can find any or all of them?

Caught @magic slippin'

I swapped out the placemats for a second nerdy pillow. One features launching falcon heavy rockets and the other is a design of stacked servers with blinking lights.

That was dope AF. 10/10 would PoGo again.

Dragon's Milk is a good beer, if you view it in the context of "I can go into the store and buy a decent barrel aged stout." They definitely tweaked the recipe sometime around 2014 or so; it used to be thinner and with less bourbon and more raw oak flavor.

This tasting definitely shows that you can't compare it to some of the other more limited things out there, but, on the other side, it actually beat quite a few beers that plenty of folks would not have expected it to.

As of now, we've got 13 scoresheets in the mix - could have 14 if I can get @doabarrellroll to clear up a couple things on his sheet. With that, here are the current rankings, based on the mean of the scores with the top score and lowest score from each beer discarded:

4.1 - Bull and Bush Legend of the Liquid Brain
3.9 - Bottle Logic Darkstar November
3.7 - Prairie Noir
3.5 - Firestone Walker Parabola
3.4 - Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout
3.3 - New Holland Dragon's Milk
3 - Avery Uncle Jacob's Stout
2.9 - Revolution Deth's Tar
2.9 - Great Divide Barrel Aged Yeti
2.8 - Central Waters Brewer's Reserve Stout
