B.O.R.I.S.

Have you ever considered drinking Motor Oil that tastes like a trip to Aspen on Christmas with a Supermodel Ski Bunny. You need to try Hopin' Frog Brewery's B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher. B.O.R.I.S. (Bodacious Oatmeal Russian Imperial Stout) is a meal in and of itself, and has what some might call hints, but I call taste explosions, of chocolate, roasted oats, and barley. As the folks Hoppin' Frog say the Imperial Stout "is the grand-daddy of all Stout styles". Combine that heritage with the popularity of the Oatmeal Stout style, and the alcoholism of those crazy Russians (This beer sports a 9.4% ABV) and you have delicious beer that can either start the party or cap off the night.

It recieved an A on Beer Advocate, and most reviews tend to put it at the top of the class in Flippin' Awesome Beer 101.

Check it out at your local wine bar, or fine beer supplier.

I get it at Erato Wine Bar in Edwardsville, IL. They sport one of the best Beer Lists in the midwest, and that is only small part of what makes this restaurant and bar great. They feature one of the Top chefs in the St. Louis area, coupled with a Sous Chef who arguably might be even better at some things. Regardless, you can trust me that the menu is amazing. As is the wine list, service and atmosphere.

If you go, look for a short, but tall in heart, bald man behind the bar named Todd. Tell him I sent you, and he'll make sure you're well taken care of.
