both these beers suffer in comparison to Hoyne's Gratitude, and Russell's Spiced Porter, both of which are exceptional. if you have a chance to purchase either, take it, because both are very limited brews, and will disappear soon ( went to the local store yesterday to buy a case of the porter, and that was half their remaining stock ). i'll visit hoyne wednesday and hope to fill a couple growlers with the gratitude.

Nice work Spitball! Solid reviews. I couldn't agree more with you in regards to both. Pyramid's is a mess (as are almost all of their offerings) and I wasn't that impressed with the Lost Coast one either (though it is better than Pyramid's).
I'm down to the final 4 days before I am on the beer train again...I'll be sure to look for those 2 local offerings. Can't wait!
