3/25/2010: The artwork on Baird Beer labels is very cool. Very starry nightish. After seeing the bottle I realized that Vintage Estate actually carries a couple of their beers, but not this one! So thanks again to Dan for sending over another hard to find in the US beer.
Wow this beer is not anything like I expected, smells very hoppy for an RIS. The taste is what I would call sneaky, they pack in a lot of hops for a stout, but its works VERY well. A lot of roasted coffee flavor, and I am getting this cola type kick also. I get a molasses type flavor but its not overwhelming. Full of flavor but a super smooth drink. An above average carbonation is a nice touch to this. Alcohol is hidden nicely we well. Upon further research this beer is somewhat accessible in the states so if you see it, give it a try.
Picture of the day: This is actually a commercial for beer. click here.
Really liking the blog. You could actually do this year on year for the next century and never run out of beer!!

Thanks Geoff! All the way from Australia? How did you find my blog?
Man I dunno I think one year of this will be enough for me haha. Drinking the beer is easy but updating the site everyday is rough!
