Dark Lord Day Weekend seemed like a good time to try some Chicago area stouts.
Tried and pictured in reverse order of BeerAdvocate reviews.
On and On says it's a stout, "blending into a stout fluent in the language of barleywine"... pours and maybe even leans towards barleywine. Good stuff.
Deth's Tar, a straightforward, big/bold/thick stout. I think I tried this one at Revolution (or maybe a variant), doesn't disappoint, and the body really stuck out drinking it right after On and On.
VSOD, reminiscent of BCBS or the best years of Dragon's Milk, but thicker than both... it has that hard to describe bourbon barrel sweetness to it that makes it the winner of the weekend.
