Monks Blood is a super solid offering, I just wish it was avalible year round. There is nothing about the phrase "Belgian Strong Dark Ale" I don't like. ![wink](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Fireside Chat is another good seasonal from 21st Amendment if you can find it.

I think I've mentioned Sneak Attack previously, I've always got some stashed somewhere.

AlwaysBroken: what diameter blow off tube are you using? With the big Trappist style beers I've been using 1" ID tube and a 2g pail for an airlock

I found that if I take the cap off my airlock, a 1/2 ID tube fits exactly, but I used a 3/16ths gas/liquid tubing this week and it was fine. I think 3/16ths is fine with supervision, 1/2 is completely safe and 1 inch tubing is insane overkill. I'd be more worried about insects or small rodents getting up a 1 inch tube.
Personally I would focus less on the diameter of the tubing and more on the rigidity of the tubing. I was afraid of using 1/2 ID silicone because it's too bendy. The beer/gas dispensing lines for your corny kegs are good with pressure and they won't ever kink and stop the flow of yeast. A kinked silicone tube will block yeast and then stretch instead of pushing the yeast out.

The current release is the third (V3.0). I missed V1 and V2, but I imagine a vertical tasting would be great fun with this beer . . . that is if I could just keep my hands off of it long enough to do it.

+1 for the woot stout. I just grabbed a couple more bottles of it. Good stuff

The wife and I took the kids and the Miatas to the Hopworks Handbuilt bike and brew fest on the weekend. While I love Hopworks Urban Brewery beer, they had the Gigantic brewery Imperial IPA, Ginormous - an absolute favorite.
