Couldn't agree more, had Twisted on tap last year in VT at a Scottish Pub. Highly recommended.

Really good beer. They recently switched to clear bottles from the brown ones. Kinda disappointed, but if the bottles aren't on the top shelf exposed to lights, the beer's still just as amazing.

Edit: Tried the Joker IPA tonight. Very nice brew!!!

The last one I had was Oskar Blues Old Chub (I think that's it) aged in Oak from a cask
Had it at the Gingerman in NYC...

The last one before that? Probably Innis & Gun Rum Cask in a bottle. I didn't like it much

I think I have to go back 10 years to find the one before that.

Just names, my friend. Check out that Barclay Perkins blog, they use all sorts of names; schilling ale, guinea ale, no. 1, no. 2, no. 3, wee heavy, heavy, strong Scotch, Scotch, strong ale, strong bitter ale..... it depended really on the brewer, the era, and the beer they were making. The history of these beers is really interesting, and very influenced by the beers that were traditionally brewed at Burton-upon-Trent, since many Scottish brewers send their sons to Burton to apprentice. Basically, the strong Scottish ales are variations of the Burton beers of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The famed Younger's No. 1 is a version of the Bass No. 1 (Bass & Sons, Burton-upon-Trent), just brewed by William Younger & Sons (Edinborough). The Bass No. 1 (and No. 3) were renowned as the Burton ale of their time. Really fascinating stuff when ya get into it.

Thanx for that info.

When it comes to aging how do u go about aging a bottle.
can I refrigerate it? Living in Arizona I don't have anywhere to keep it "cool" year round outside of a fridge.

Where you at in AZ? I am heading to Tucson next week, could probably bring some beers from here if you want to try some.
