Consumption History
When
Drank 650 ml of Imperial Russian Stout by Stone Brewing (2012)June 13th, 2014
2014-09-21
Tasty, age brings out some of the raisin characteristics, overall mellow and drinkable.
2014-06-13
Still delicious, has held up really well, glad to have one more of these to drink, and should probably bring it up soon-ish.
2013-10-29
Still a good roast on the nose, a teensy bit of bite, and great ashen chocolate and sweet malt characteristics. This thing is pretty nice after a year.
2013-09-29
Quite tasty!
2013-01-14
Brownie in the nose, fun! Sweet and a little smoke, slight bitter on the finish. Tasty.
Drank 750 ml of Home, Sour Home by The Rare Barrel (2013-12-24)June 10th, 2014
2014-06-10
Really does capture a peach cobbler; delicious beer, got better as it warmed up too.
Drank 750 ml of Bourbon Barrel Quad by Boulevard Brewing Company (2013)June 10th, 2014
2014-06-10
Not bad, definitely mellowed out since last I had it, nothing too special at this point but a solid quad.
Drank 375 ml of Cuvee De Tomme by The Lost Abbey (2014)June 5th, 2014
2014-06-05
Pretty good, despite being entirely flat. Lots of fruit and barrel in the nose, and backed up with some serious tartness on the palate.
Drank 375 ml of Sanctification by Russian River Brewing Company (2014-01-28)June 5th, 2014
2014-03-31
Great as always, white wine and fruit forward nose, an acidic but balanced beer on the palate, could drink it all (sunny) day.
Drank 750 ml of Smoking Wood by The Bruery (2012)June 5th, 2014
2014-06-05
Not very good, the smoke turned more to a slight tartness, and the barrel aging hasn't held up.
2013-01-09
Smoky! Big rye in the nose, less in the taste, some mild porter/stout notes, and otherwise smokiness. Oh the smokiness. Heavy on the finish, like the Lagavulin of beers.
Drank 375 ml of Consecration by Russian River Brewing Company (2012)May 29th, 2014
2014-05-29
Drank the Batch 8 bottle, not bad though a little flat, and wonder if this one might even be past its prime. Still, a great beer.
Drank 375 ml of Sanctification by Russian River Brewing Company (2012-11-28)May 28th, 2014
2014-05-28
Awesome, great wine notes, tasting so great. Not sure how much aging will do for these as they're so good from the get go.
2013-05-04
Great sour blonde, has that amazing Russian River balance
Drank 375 ml of Framboise For A Cure by Russian River Brewing Company (2013-10)May 27th, 2014
2014-05-27
Still delicious, a little less fruit than before but can't help but love this beer.
2014-01-27
Still great, love this beer. Color is awesome, still lots of fruit in the nose and on the palette, amazing. Wish this was a regular for them.
Drank 12 oz of Ken Schmidt / Iron Fist / Stone Mint Chocolate Imperial Stout by Stone Brewing (2012)May 25th, 2014
2015-10-10
Still lots of mint! Hope they do this beer again, super delicious.
2014-05-25
Still lots of mint, dark chocolate, very little booziness. Love it.
2014-04-15
Tasting great, very much like a peppermint patty with lots of chocolate and a subtle amount of mint. Great beer, glad I grabbed extras.
2013-10-08
The mint is possibly fading a tad, but still an amazingly delicious beer. So well done.
2013-03-29
This beer is amazing. The mint works so well. Wish I had more in the cellar than just two!
2013-01-09
This was delicious! Was scared mint would overwhelm, but was extremely subtle and a perfect compliment. Should age well, must resist temptation to drink them all now.
Drank 375 ml of Temptation by Russian River Brewing Company (2013-05-30)May 25th, 2014
2014-05-25
Effectively perfect. Great beer.
2013-08-11
Delicious, as always.
Drank 750 ml of MischMishMish by The Bruery (2014)May 23rd, 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 2010 Vintage Oak Aged Ale (Barrel No. 144) by Brouwerij Rodenbach (2010)May 22nd, 2014
2017-05-07
Smells sour but super mild on the palate, amazing notes of apple, candy, super mellow funk, and wine like profile. Amazingly complex beer that works amazingly well.
2014-05-22
This beer is so great. So mellow, perfect tartness on the finish, and such leathery, oaky flavors throughout. Could drink this all day.
Drank 750 ml of Take The Black Stout by Brewery Ommegang (2013)May 19th, 2014
2014-05-19
Not bad; not as much anise as expected, which was good, and a nice roasted character on the finish.
Drank 12 oz of Conflux Series No. 1 (Collage) by Deschutes Brewery / Hair of the Dog Brewing Company (2012)May 17th, 2014
2014-05-17
Didn't like it at first, but got better as it warmed up. Not great, but not bad, some weird notes kind of like the other Hair of the Dog bottle I had recently.
2013-05-01
Well carbonated, an interesting take on the Old Ale style, but was hoping for more Hair of the Dog influence.
