Gotta do a quick update for today, because tonight will most likely be filled with celebrations and poor decisions. Mainly because I have arrived in my Home before my current Home: Tallahassee, FL.
First stop on the journey was to THE local spot for craft beer near campus, a place called Proof. If you happen to take a look at [ratebeer's Best Beer Bars 2011] you'll find that it is rated the #31 Beer Bar in the world. This place is chill as hell and a great escape from the hustle and bustle of frat parties and clubbing in Talla-nasty. 28 beers on tap, many many more in bottle, and full liquor bar. No Bud Light.
The beer I got to taste for today is Stone's 15th Anniversary brew, which is an Imperial Black IPA. Having just brewed up a beer of the same style I am rather critical of this one.

The hop flavor from the 'ipa part' of the beer is spot on, but there is something left to be desired from the 'darker beer part'. I would prefer it to be more chocolately, instead of more burnt/roasted.

You'll have to find a specialty craft beer store to pick this one up, unless you can find it at a beer bar like
