Thanked: 20No Way! OMG
I have only been doing this 6 months. and you are competitive.. uh, uh no way... The cream sounds to DIE for tho and I have never tasted a rye IPA... What I have now is blueberry and honey, apple nut and honey and lime pale ales... imperial stout and a jack daniels whiskey stout that kicks yer butt! My beer guru even raises his own honey and the honey is to die for... the blueberry honey almost tastes like a mead.... mmm mmm mmmmmmmm

RIS is "Russian Imperial Stout" (the full name of that imperial stout). That's a big big big tasty beer, tough to brew well too. If you're brewing those you've got NOTHING to be ashamed of I've seen those kick old codger experienced brewers firmly in the butt.
Edit: Bit of brewing history, RIS's were originally brewed as super high strength stouts for export to the baltic regions (russian imperial courts). Same deal with Baltic porters. The brewed them super high strength so they'd survive the shipping. IPA's were a similar development, heavily hopped and brewed higher strength to survive the sea voyage to India.

Yeah, homebrewing has been hard on my girlish figure

Oh my, that's a deal I've looked at your site before and got completely overwhelmed by the choices, I think I managed to narrow my interest list down to only about 10 fragrances, lol. I'll pick over it tonight and see if I can narrow it down to 1
