New Belgium Ranger IPA - Nice hoppy IPA, reminded me of the Flying Dog IPA offerings.

Brew Dog Hardcore IPA - Also a nice hoppy IPA, a big contrast from their Punk IPA that I had tried previously. Quite tasty.

DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus (Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter) - Wow. This is a dessert beer if I've ever had one. Tastes like a peanut butter cup. While dark in color, drink very light. Quite tasty. I followed a few of these with the Kujo Coffee Stout, and that made me enjoy the coffee stout even more, brought out a lot of the bitterness in the Kujo.

I have a 22 of this in my fridge waiting for me: Heavy Seas Siren Noire, an imperial chocolate stout aged in bourbon barrels. This may have to wait until next weekend, unless I slip it in one night this week.
You have some great beers on that list. I have tried the sweet baby jesus and didn't like it. Maybe I got a bad six pack or something because I didn't have the flavorings I would've expected.

It's possible. Since it's a porter, it runs "thinner" than the stouts I've been drinking lately so it wasn't as robust. But to me, the flavor was decent. A buddy of mine said 16 Mile Brewery in Georgetown did them one better, and Shorebilly Brewing on the boards in OC has one as well.

I finally had Stone's Arrogant Bastard Ale on tap last night. Very good. My wife thought it was clever that I ordered a beer that perfectly describes me. I had no rebuttal

Speaking of robust you ever have Smuttynose Robust Porter? That's some really good stuff right there.
