Consumption History
When
Drank 22 oz of Mother Of All Storms by Pelican Pub & Brewery (2013-12-03)May 13th, 2014
2014-05-13
Not bad, not as good as Sucaba, but a solid barleywine that I was able to drink in a sitting. Definitely a bit boozy.
Drank 750 ml of Windowsill by The Bruery (2013-08-15)May 11th, 2014
2014-05-11
Pretty good, definitely hits the intended mark and still a lot of fruit, though a little lacking in complexity. A straightforward but solid beer.
2013-11-02
Quite tart, lots of raspberry, murky color but some nice fruit characteristics that are somewhat overwhelmed with the sourness. Not bad at all.
Drank 750 ml of Melange No. 9 by The Bruery (2014-01-29)May 11th, 2014
2014-05-11
"Tastes like a tiki bar drink" about sums it up. Subdued coconut, definite ginger and spice presence, and a nice, tart finish. Enjoyed this more than I expected to.
Drank 750 ml of Allagash Curieux by Allagash Brewing Company (2011-12)May 7th, 2014
2014-05-07
Still good, though the bourbon has definitely faded, tending to agree this one will be better fresher.
Drank 650 ml of Espresso Imperial Russian Stout by Stone Brewing (2013-03-28)May 6th, 2014
2014-05-06
This has held up great! That great Stone IRS backing with some nice espresso on top, which surprisingly has not significantly faded. Delicious, may even have to pick up another.
2013-04-25
Espresso quite strong, and tasty. Big nose as a result, and the finish has a lot of coffee. Good, but wonder how the coffee will hold up to age.
Drank 750 ml of Arctic Saison by Grassroots Brewing (2013-05)May 6th, 2014
2014-05-06
Still delicious, nice, light, and perhaps a bit funkier than it was fresh, in a good way.
2013-07-10
A delicious saison, brett adding mostly bready notes and not much tartness, but extremely well balanced and quite quaffable.
Drank 500 ml of Framinghammer Baltic Porter - Bourbon Barrel Aged With Barismo Coffee by Jack's Abby (2014)May 6th, 2014
2014-05-06
Delicious, light sweetness is well balanced with the coffee, definitely feeling the Baltic Porter vibe. Great beer.
Drank 750 ml of Tripel Tonnellerie by The Bruery (2014-04-04)May 2nd, 2014
2014-05-02
Weird, not good, a bad Brett character on the finish, not balanced, a little off even.
Drank 22 oz of Old Guardian Oak Smoked Barley Wine by Stone Brewing (2013)April 27th, 2014
2014-04-27
Pretty good! Smokiness makes a nice compliment to the typical barley wine sweetness.
2013-03-15
Interesting barleywine, oaked/smoked aspect gives it a unique sharpness, and it's not too sweet nor syrupy. I like it.
Drank 750 ml of Rue d'Floyd by The Bruery (2014-03-13)April 26th, 2014
2017-04-27
Dumped; soured as expected
2014-06-27
Feeling like the finish is maybe hinting at signs of turning, but still a damn delicious beer. Should drink the final one soon.
2014-04-26
Absolutely amazingly delicious, a perfect mix of chocolate, vanilla, porter, and coffee flavors. This beer screams "dessert!" in the best possible way. Will have to order some more despite the aging dangers.
Drank 750 ml of Floyd D'Rue by The Bruery (2014-03-07)April 25th, 2014
2014-04-25
I see what people mean calling this a mess, though I didn't find it that bad, just a TON of booze (rum and spice) up front, with a more typical Bruery stout finish. Too bad this one can't be set down for some extended aging.
Drank 750 ml of MischMishMish by The Bruery (2014)April 25th, 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 12 oz of Ken Schmidt / Iron Fist / Stone Mint Chocolate Imperial Stout by Stone Brewing (2012)April 15th, 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 22 oz of Imperial Russian Stout by Stone Brewing (2014)April 15th, 2014
2014-04-15
Quite good, lots of roast coffee, toffee, perhaps a bit of anise in the nose but none on the palate thankfully. Imagine this will settle well with time.
Drank 22 oz of Elder Brett: Saison-Brett Golden Ale by Epic Brewing Company (2013)April 12th, 2014
