All right, beer #1300, let's get back to raising a little money for some charities (if you are new to this blog, look back and see why it started). For #1300, I donated  $100 to Lakes Area Humane Society, if you can help in any way, please donate if you can.

INDEED BREWING COMPANY - Rum King 2015      Not gonna lie, this might be my favorite imperial stout. Really enjoy the use of rum barrels instead of the standard whiskey and bourbon barrels. Rich, smooth, and delicious, buy it if you see it.

CENTRAL WATERS BREWING CO. - Brewers Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout 2015       Stout aged for 1 year in used 12 year bourbon barrels.  Sometimes it amazes what goes into making a beer. Solid, enjoyable every year.

EVIL TWIN BREWING - From Amager With Love        Imperial stout with blueberries added. Sounded amazing. After initial pour, I was a little dissapointed in the blueberry aroma and flavor. It's there, but really faint. Fortunately both got better as it warmed. Done really well, turned out to be a really nice beer.  Personally I would have liked the blueberries to play even a bigger role though. Very easy drinking, but be careful, the 12% ABV will sneak up on you.
