2010 Stone Imperial Russian Stout aged in bourbon barrels. The name speaks for itself. Aged 2 years.
On the label for the Stone Imperial Russian Stout, we’ve waxed poetically for the last dozen years about the sinfully decadent richness of the beer. Alas, we seem to have pointed ourselves in the corner with fanciful descriptions, as we now find that there are simply not enough superlatives to begin to approach this special two-year-old bourbon barrel aged version.

Memory is a shady thing, especially when a person was imbibing when they had a product. Working in retail, I have to interpret strange requests, exercising the art of decipher nearly every day. Some days I’m on, other days I just can’t translate. This category is dedicated to those sometimes strange customer requests that require special interpretation… Man walks into a beer store, says to me: “I’m looking for pflfflng.” Me: “Um, could you spell that?” Man: “P-F-H-L-I-N-G-E-R” Me: “Was it German?” Man: “Maybe.” We continue to talk beer, later … [...]

What To Eat Today: Lucky Foods at Ris, Smoke (And Mirrors?) at Rogue 24
Hungry? And maybe a bit superstitious? On Tuesday, chef Ris Lacoste debuts a new-year-themed, three-course "lucky foods" lunch special at her eponymous eatery in the West End.
