Consumption History
When
Drank 750 ml of Ivan the Terrible Imperial Stout by Big Sky Brewing (2012)December 6th, 2014
2014-12-06
A very mellow stout, not too much roast nor too much sweetness, drinkable and tasty.
2013-04-05
Lots of dried fruit in the nose, some raisin, some stone fruit. Some booze on the palate, along with more fruit, some vanilla, and a little cocoa. Good, but could definitely use time to settle. Bottle 344.
Drank 12 oz of 120 Minute IPA by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (2013)December 5th, 2014
2014-12-05
Delicious, surprising bitterness backing up the malt, has held up superbly. Digging it.
Drank 500 ml of Terra Locale: Take Take by Wicked Weed (2014)December 2nd, 2014
2014-12-02
Super mellow, a bit of funk, a bit of malt, a lot of grain, and very sippable. Another tasty bottle from Wicked Weed, though probably not as good as the other two I had back in North Carolina.
Drank 12 oz of Surette Provision Saison by Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project (2013)December 1st, 2014
2014-12-01
Great funk in the nose, nice and balanced on the palate, with some funk, some nice sweetness, and a farmhousey finish.
Drank 650 ml of Matilda by Goose Island Beer Co. (2012-08)November 30th, 2014
2017-04-27
Has aged well; mellow sweetness, mellow funk, nice body.
2013-08-31
Definitely getting a lot more brett a year in; great beer for a warm day, nice bitterness on the finish.
2013-06-24
A little more Brett than last time; delicious!
Drank 750 ml of Seizoen Bretta by Logsdon Farmhouse Ales (2012)November 30th, 2014
2013-04-12
This is a delicious beer.
2013-03-28
Delicious! Brett is mild, sweetness is perfect, some wheatiness.
Drank 750 ml of Allagash Curieux by Allagash Brewing Company (2012-08-24)November 30th, 2014
Drank 750 ml of Sirius Black by The Rare Barrel (2014-05-21)November 30th, 2014
2017-11-05
Nice blackberry presence, simple and delicious.
Drank 750 ml of MischMishMish by The Bruery (2014)November 30th, 2014
2014-05-23
Still great, lots of apricot and tiny but of brett character.
2014-04-25
Awesome beer, still bummed I couldn't get more. Basically tastes like Mischief with apricots added (which I'd wager is the actual deal with this beer). Hope it becomes a standard.
Drank 750 ml of Melange No. 3 by The Bruery (2011)November 30th, 2014
2013-09-01
Huge beer! First sip was unexpectedly powerful. Followup sips less so, for the ABV still hides the alcohol well. Not quite a stout, a good, big beer.
Drank 650 ml of Velvet Merkin by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2013)November 30th, 2014
2017-08-19
I think this is the only one I had a pour of, but it's tasting great! I was worried it might not age well, but it held up great. May also have been enjoyable because of the comparatively lower ABV.
2014-10-09
Tasting good, a bit lighter than expected, hides the booze entirely, some nuttiness and some oatmeal definitely present, a delicious brew.
2013-10-15
Makes the wife a happy wife ;-) Awesome nose, lots of vanilla and maybe a hint of coconut, super smooth on the palate with a perfect balance of maltiness and oak characteristic, cut nicely by the oatmeal. Firestone knows how to make a delicious stout.
Drank 750 ml of Darkest Hour by Anchorage Brewing Co (2013-03)November 30th, 2014
2013-07-29
Really interesting, a lot of wine notes for a stout, the barrel aging really comes through. Not the best but not bad either.
Drank 12 oz of Sourdough Wild Ale by Almanac Beer Co. (2013-02)November 30th, 2014
2014-11-30
Weird nose but tasty, sourdough notes quite forward.
2014-03-03
Really interesting sour, lots of Mosaic and Brett are the defining characteristics. Soft and bready, definitely a lot of yeast. Tasty.
Drank 750 ml of 30th Anniversary - Fritz And Ken's Ale by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. (2010)November 23rd, 2014
2014-11-23
Great bitterness and roast, with a bit of sweet up front, has held up really well. I think I hit it about right in terms of when to enjoy this last bottle.
2013-12-06
Started off a bit bland, but really came along as it warmed up, great bitterness coupled with nicely balanced stout character.
2013-04-25
What an amazing imperial stout. Great balance, perfect carbonation, and a complex finish with oak, coffee, and vanilla. Love it.
Drank 22 oz of Big John by Goose Island Beer Co. (2012-12-07)November 23rd, 2014
2014-11-23
A very malt forward stout, lots of sweetness without being boozy, a tiny bit of roast on the end. Not bad, if not a favorite.
