I got these the other night and have only tried two of them, so far. The Dundee one which was actually delicious. The Mendocino IPA I tried and it was good for an IPA, to me, but I hate IPAs.

the Thomas Hardy needs more than a year, more like 3+ to really be any good

I love my local beers.
I've had all of the Sierra Nevada's even the new Black Label which is a rich stout, Mmm.
Weed has a good cheap beer with a kick, Lost coast is ****ty beer, so no touchy.
Mendocino IPA is not my cup of beer, so I hear you on that.
All in all, I keep falling back to my Sierra Nevada (Dirt cheep since my co-worker's son is a brew master).

ideally, you should be pouring your beer straight down the middle (not down the sides like a lot of people do to reduce head) to both see the beer "naturally" and to let it open up, a bit like wine. i've never seen anywhere near this amount of head on Gulden Draak though, even an aggressive pour only yields about two fingers worth. so that pic is a bit sensationalized for marketing purposes.

Hey Alv, I want to try this but have 2 questions:
How cold should it be served?
Should I pour it down the middle like stigs suggested?

They didn't have the Oatmeal Stout - so I asked them to order some more of that and more Nut Brown Ale.
I grabbed the last bottle of Nut Brown Ale, and then I grabbed 1 each of these:

I'm going out now to pick up a bottle of the Oatmeal Stout to see if it's as good as I remember. :P

pour it and try chilled (~45) and let it warm up to 50-55...i like tasting a beer as it warms and seeing which flavors open up at certain temps
i would pour the Oatmeal Stout accordingly to create about 1.5"-2" of head

One reviewer on BA said he had about 3 fingers worth.
