Drank 650 ml of Double Double Barrel Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2014) | August 19th, 2017 |
Drank 650 ml of Firestone 14 - Anniversary Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2010) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 Was the favorite anniversary beer of the night. Great roasted character, an extremely mild amount of oxidation for the age, and lots of chocolate. Awesome beer. | |
2015-03-09 Delicious, has held up so well, a surprising amount of heat in there even! Chocolate, malt, toffee, no anise (thankfully), love it. Glad to had another as this beer is still kicking strong. | |
2013-12-24 Great roastiness all throughout, not much in the nose but awesome taste profile, has held up amazingly. Absolute delight. | |
Drank 650 ml of Firestone 15 - Anniversary Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2011) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 Tasting, somewhat surprisingly, a lot more oxidized than the 14. Expressed as more bitterness, less of a smooth blend. Not bad but hasn't held up extremely well. | |
2014-01-02 Delicious. Definitely more of a barleywine than some of the other anniversary blends, but has come along really nicely, with a great balance of malt and smooth roasty notes. Dig it. | |
2012-12-28 First tasting (December 2011) was silky and sweet with lots of vanilla and booziness. | |
Drank 650 ml of Firestone 16 - Anniversary Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2012) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 Just a taste of this one, but also lots of oxidation if memory serves. | |
2016-01-09 Tasting great, almost a stout but not quite, smooth, very little heat, delicious. | |
Drank 650 ml of Firestone 17 - Anniversary Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2013-10-01) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 Also just a taste of this one, seemed a bit sweeter, less time for oxidation to set in. Not bad. | |
2015-02-13 Still tasting great, like a strong ale, not boozy, lots of chocolate, caramel, and toffy. | |
Drank 500 ml of Firestone 18 - Anniversary Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2014) | August 19th, 2017 |
2015-01-02 Tons of malt in the nose, but balanced on the palate, some mild stout characteristics give way to more of an Double Double Barrel kind of profile. Tasty, and not hot in the slightest. | |
Drank 500 ml of Firestone 19 - Anniversary Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2015) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 Still tasting pretty fresh but no heat, great malt forward flavor, and nicely blended. Reminds me that these are great fresh or close to as well. | |
Drank 650 ml of Firestone XX - Anniversary Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2016) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 Probably the second best anniversary of the evening? Fresh but amazing blend, no heat, lots of different sweet aspects working to together. Great beer. | |
Drank 500 ml of Helldorado by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2015) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 This one kicked surprisingly early and I didn't get a chance to try it. Shame! | |
2015-12-24 Tons of vanilla, a bit of bourbon, huge malt presence and quite sweet. A definite sipper, best split between four people probably. | |
Drank 650 ml of Ol' Leghorn (Three Floyds Collaboration) by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2014-05-30) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 While it was nice to have a more hop forward beer in this sea of malt, I can see why its rating isn't that hot. Blonde and bland. | |
2014-12-25 Tasty! Has a surprisingly hoppy nose and a bit of hop bite, otherwise a solid barleywine, not too sweet and very drinkable. | |
Drank 650 ml of Stickee Monkee by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2014) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 This tasted surprisingly great! Very sweet but not sickly, really worked for the style. Not unhappy I have another one of these waiting in the fridge. | |
Drank 650 ml of PNC Imperial Buckwheat Stout by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2013) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 Another standout (it kicked, though I did sell it on its rarity). Mellow, balanced, with a mildly complex finish but not too aggressive. Delicious. | |
Drank 650 ml of Parabola by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2010) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 All the Parabolas were great, but this one was maybe my favorite. Very little oxidation, has held up amazingly, and the most roasted and bitter character in this vertical. A crowd favorite. | |
Drank 650 ml of Parabola by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2012) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 Got a brief taste of this one, same Parabola goodness with perhaps the teeniest bit of oxidation. These beers age like champs. | |
2013-12-27 Smooth, great roast, coffee and caramel and molasses on the palate, as good as it was fresh as far as I remember. | |
Drank 650 ml of Parabola by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2013) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 Quick taste, delicious. | |
2015-03-07 Still the best, delicious beer that gets even more great chocolate and roasted character as it warms up. Need to try the upcoming vintage to remember how it tastes fresh, too. |
