I think I'm in love!

Schloss Eggenberg Samichlaus Helles Barley Wine (Austria) -- 14% ABV but soooooo smooth.  They only make it once a year and it gets better with age.  The vintage we had was from 2010. Seriously YUM!

I used to meet up with a college buddy on the north side of Chicago called The Hop Leaf.  It had a wide variety of foreign bottled beer with WAY excessive alcohol content.

Needless to say, I never drove...always had to grab a cab or have the then Mrs. Wiggum pick me up.
