Just took in a Uconn women's game...stopped off at City Steam for a Carpenters IPA.  The car keys are tucked away and now it is time to rock!  That said.....
1) Rogue - John Jon Ale - Dead Guy Ale aged in Dead guy Whiskey Barrels - 6.4% - Really get the Whiskey taste here.  Very carbonated almost a prickly feel in your mouth.  Definitely worth a try.  Says it was brewed using "free range coastal water."  Gotta like that!
2) Legacy Brewing - Hoptimus Prime 9.0% - Very good standard east coast DIPA.  Reading, PA might be worth a road trip.  I think the Phillies have a minor league team there (no not the Mets they are in Queens!)
By the way bought a couple bottles of Goose Island's 2009 Bourbon County Stout yesterday.  Have only had their 2008 so far.  This bottle give a born on date of 12.18.09.  I think when I first had the 08 it had aged a few more months.  I am almost "fraidy scared" of trying this beast (13%) fresh.  As an aside the Tiger is having a Goose Island night next Wednesday.  I'm hoping to be there! 
3) Troegs Nugget Nectar - Imperial Amber - 7.5% - Nice Orange pour...very sweet fruity hops.  Could drink this all night long!   I wonder if Harrisburg is near Reading.....oh well off to mapquest!
