I was the source of his sample of BrewDog's Nanny State, shipped over for our sampling pleasure (or lack thereof?) by the Scottish brewery.
As for my own thoughts about extreme beers, I feel the whole extreme beer movement is best summarized by this "The City" cartoon by alt-comic cartoonist John Backderf, or Derf (reprinted with permission--and even he no longer has the original in his files); just substitute the latest hop-bomb or exotic-ingredient beer for the game and the beer geeks for the kid:

Finally had the Exit 1 Oyster Stout from Flying Fish earlier in the week. Certainly one of the most "extreme" beers I've had in recent memory.
And of course you brought back a bottle for me to sample, right, Brad?
Of course! Now if only I could locate it...
First, look next to the other New Jersey beers you have.
Next, look among the stouts.
No luck? Look next to the oysters.
