Drank 750 ml of Map of the Sun by The Rare Barrel (2015-09-01) | April 1st, 2016 |
2019-11-07 Tasting great! Still a lot of fruit up front and a lot of apricot astringency on the back end, but really mellow and drinkable overall. | |
2017-11-05 Delicious as always, nicely balanced, nice astringency. Was great to try this between Map of the Moon and Keen Observation. | |
2016-04-01 Awesome tang and sourness, still a good deal of apricot, and really mellows as it warms. Great beer. | |
Drank 750 ml of Forces Unseen by The Rare Barrel (2015-01-29) | March 26th, 2016 |
2017-11-05 Distinct from the '14, perhaps a little sharper but still maintaining that lovely sweet and complex profile. Dug it. | |
2016-03-26 Tasting great! Delicious natural sweetness, perfect sour balance with the underlying golden. Dig it. | |
Drank 750 ml of Sour in the Rye with Kumquats by The Bruery (2013-04-25) | February 27th, 2016 |
2024-12-20 Still very punchy, and still with some fruit, but delicious. Some folks claimed it was their favorite of the night. | |
2016-02-27 Tasting a lot like a Night Shift beer, not at all like last remembered, mellow, a teensy bit of nail polish remover, still some lovely fruitiness, and generally delicious. | |
2013-09-27 Such an amazing nose and an awesome sour; great mix of tart and fruit. The Bruery at its best. | |
2013-07-19 Nice addition! Fruits adds to the nose and mellows out the front end, which leads nicely into a puckering finish. Quite good. | |
Drank 750 ml of Becoming by The Rare Barrel (2015-05-06) | January 24th, 2016 |
2021-07-04 Coming off the Upland this was quite mellow. Fruit mild but noticeable, all around easy sipper. | |
2017-11-05 Still a ton of fruit in this one, and a favorite of many who tried it. Super balanced, just the right amount of sweet and sour. | |
2016-01-24 Still lots of fruit, kind of low carb which helps bring it out, great color, nice balanced tartness to boot. Was great with roast pork! | |
Drank 750 ml of Black Tuesday by The Bruery (2013-09-13) | January 9th, 2016 |
2017-04-30 Still pretty hot, surprisingly, but has held up well. A hell of a big first sip. | |
2016-12-25 Marshall drank this one in San Diego. | |
2016-01-09 Big, boozy, that same BT that we know and love. Great to share with a big group. | |
2013-11-30 Huge and in your face with the bourbon, the barrel, and lots of malty coffee and roasted chocolate flavors. A slow sipper with a lite heat, and delicious. Lives up to the reputation. | |
Drank 650 ml of Firestone 16 - Anniversary Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2012) | January 9th, 2016 |
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 500 ml of Fuller's Vintage Ale by Fuller's (2009) | January 9th, 2016 |
2016-01-09 Only got a small taste, but nice, thick, and plenty of that great grain plus malt character. | |
Drank 750 ml of Gose by Cascade Brewing (2012) | January 9th, 2016 |
2016-01-09 Not a gose at all! Delicious though, super mellow sour profile for Cascade, drinkable and delicious. | |
Drank 750 ml of Life & Limb by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. / Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (2011-07) | January 9th, 2016 |
2016-01-09 Not even sure what this is, but it was tasting great. Malt, bread in the backbone, a nice sipper. | |
Drank 500 ml of Old Rasputin XII Anniversary by North Coast Brewing Co. (2009) | January 9th, 2016 |
2016-01-09 Big, but not too much booze, amazing nose with toffee, chocolate, vanilla, digging it. | |
Drank 750 ml of Sourrento by The Bruery (2014-11-05) | January 9th, 2016 |
2016-01-09 Actually not terrible, but definitely a novelty beer, not sad it's the last one. | |
2015-01-08 Lots of vanilla in the nose and up front in the palate, then fades into basically a standard sour blonde. Didn't quite get what they were going for, but still not a bad beer, enjoyable. | |
Drank 750 ml of Toronado 25th Anniversary Ale by Russian River Brewing Company (2012) | January 9th, 2016 |
2016-01-09 That great Russian River profile, has aged quite well, a bit of fruit and some nice but accessible complexity. | |
Drank 750 ml of White Chocolate by The Bruery (2012) | January 9th, 2016 |
2016-01-09 Amazing, lighter than expected, awesome nose, so much vanilla, chocolate, and balanced sweetness. Wish I had more. | |
Drank 500 ml of Helldorado by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2015) | December 24th, 2015 |
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 750 ml of Abraxas by Perennial Artisan Ales (2014-11) | November 7th, 2015 |
2015-11-07 Amazing pepper on the nose, perfectly balanced on the tongue, an amazing stout with just the right amount of heat. Better fresher than aged at this point I think! | |
2015-01-23 Great! A lot less chocolate than Hunaphu, but a lot more chile on the back end, more of a cinnamon thing going on up front. Digging it. |
