OK, here's how it came out
* Stone Chocolate Stout
* Stone Imperial Stout (Sridhar’s Fav)
* Goose Island bourbon barrel aged stout (Sridhar’s other Fav) <-- last minute addition
* Avery CZAR, Imperial Stout (Steve’s Fav)
* North Coast Rasputin, Imperial Stout 12th Anniversary (Erik’s Fav)
* Deschutes 21st Anniversary “Imperial” Black Butte Porter (Joanne’s Fav) <-- yep, that's me!!
For me, 1st place was the Stone Imperial Stout.
Second place was everything else.
If I were forced to pick my least favorite, maybe it would be the Stone Choc. Oatmeal Bitter Stout, but only if I were forced to choose. They were all great.
Among the tasters, the overall winner (by a very narrow margin) was the Rasputin Imperial Stout.
