I cracked open another stout, Southern Tier Jahva Imperial Coffee Stout, and revised my picks for the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

This stout is a marvelous mixture of Jamaican coffee, roasted barley, caramel, chocolate and black malts, as well as Cascade and Columbus hops. It poured dark and had terrific coffee aroma, a pleasing, slightly sweet body and a dramatic coffee finish. Great stuff.

Again, at 11 percent ABV, this was a sipper, not something you drink in a hurry. The Southern Tier Web site says the ABV is 12 percent. The bottle says 11 percent. It sells for about $7.25 for a 17-ounce bottle.

Fueled by the stout, I reworked my bracket for the college basketball tournament. My new final four picks are Louisville, Connecticut, Syracuse (I stayed up for their six-overtime win), and Pittsburgh.

I discarded North Carolina because their star point guard, Ty Lawson, still has a sore big toe. Maybe he has gout from drinking too many stouts, but I doubt it.

Any other opinions on Jahva? Which ABV do you believe?

Any other final four picks?
