I agree about the Victory going well with ice cream. I did some tastings against some other stouts and overall found the Victory to be a bit ordinary compared to the likes of the Mikkeller Black Hole and The Foothills Sexual Chocolate. Still good just not the best.

linds,
Yes … I work with one of the owners on The Blacksmith’s beer selections. We have a wish list that we’re working on with our distributors. While 3F’s Dark Lord is on there, I wouldn’t hold my breath for it to show up at the Blacksmith any time soon. Being able to get high-quality craft beer from the Midwest is a tall order right now. Most of it has to do with supply and complications around beer distribution. Small breweries like Three Floyds have to feed the masses in their own back yard first, so the locals get a good chunk of the product. This is why a lot of Midwesterners were so jealous of how relatively easy it was for us on the West Coast to get this last realease of The Abyss. As I understand it, Three Floyds is currently only distributing to Indiana & Illinois. If this changes, or if I know of someone moving from Indiana, I’ll be sure to make an order and shout it from the rooftops.
