Who's Your Daddy?

I want to second Michael Muckian's opinion on the tastiness of the new Who's Your Daddy? Imperial Stout from Tyranena Brewing. As the article states, Who's Your Daddy? is the first installment in brewmaster Rob Larson's Brewers Gone Wild!, series which bills itself as "A Series of Big, Bold, Ballsy Beers". Who's Your Daddy? is an Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels. I love Imperial stouts and I love bourbon so the combination is almost a no-brainer for me. The luscious malty goodness is complemented by the taste of bourbon. I think that there's just the right amount of bourbon flavor present as any more would have tipped the scales too far. So check the shelves of your local purveyor of beer - bottles are construction yellow so you can't miss them.

Here's the skinny on future releases:

"Who's Your Daddy?" will be replaced this summer by "Bitter Woman from Hell," an Extra India Pale Ale that Larson said is roughly equivalent to the Dogfish Head "90-Minute IPA," the famous, highly hopped beer brewed by the Rehoboth Beach, Del., microbrewery.

In the fall, "Bitter Woman from Hell" will be replaced by "Hop Whore," an Imperial India Pale Ale that will up ramp the hops and alcohol content considerably, producing a beer roughly equivalent to Dogfish Head's "120 Minute IPA." This will be followed in the winter by "Spank Me Baby!," a barley wine-style ale that's 9 percent alcohol.
