Consumption History
When
Drank 22 oz of Mogli by Caldera Brewing (2013)February 18th, 2014
2014-02-18
Lots of chocolate, a fair bit of anise but not too much, a some good bitterness on the finish. Solid.
Drank 750 ml of Hopocalypse Black Label by Drake's Brewing Co. (2014-02)February 5th, 2014
2014-02-05
Good but not great, a bit sweet as with last year, though perhaps a bit better this year.
Drank 375 ml of Beatification by Russian River Brewing Company (2013-09-11)February 2nd, 2014
2014-02-02
So great. A hint of sweetness up front and then on the finish, with an amazing funk/sour in the middle. So well balanced, the Somnambic really shines through. Love this beer.
Drank 750 ml of Reuze by The Bruery (2013-08-25)February 2nd, 2014
2017-04-30
Not as amazingly puckering as the 2012, but still quite good!
2014-02-02
Super solid, more carbonated than the 2012 version, lots of sour, not much funk. A good take on the style in an American sense.
Drank 750 ml of Gillian by Goose Island Beer Co. (2013-09-11)February 2nd, 2014
2014-02-02
Amazing! Need to grab another. Great funk, great zest, and some amazing peppery and brett notes in there. Probably not worth $30, but still, an amazing beer.
Drank 750 ml of Autumn Maple (Bourbon Barrel Aged) by The Bruery (2013-09-20)February 2nd, 2014
2014-02-02
Surprisingly not sour! Great bourbon and vanilla were the main components, the yamminess was mostly covered up, enjoyed this much more than the regular.
Drank 375 ml of Framboise For A Cure by Russian River Brewing Company (2013-10)January 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 750 ml of Tout Mais Le Coller by The Bruery (2013-11-19)January 17th, 2014
2014-01-17
Lots of orange, surprising amount of bitterness as well, nice creamy mouthfeel. Good but not great, though they do nail the orange creamsicle profile.
Drank 750 ml of Seviin by Surly Brewing Co. (2013)January 17th, 2014
2014-01-17
Somewhat straightforward Belgian ale, not amazing but not bad.
Drank 750 ml of Mocha Wednesday by The Bruery (2013-12-24)January 11th, 2014
2017-04-30
Coffee substantially subdued but still there in a muted way, and surprising amount of heat left in this beer otherwise!
2014-11-16
Still great, coffee is fading but overall such a balanced beer for the ABV. Not sad to have two more.
2014-01-11
Great bourbon, chocolate, and malt notes up front, with some rich coffee texture and flavor on the finish. Definitely more drinkable than Black Tuesday.
Drank 650 ml of Black Butte XXIII by Deschutes Brewery (2011)January 7th, 2014
2014-01-07
Not bad, lots of toast, coffee, malt, and bitter chocolate. Best aspect is that it's somewhat complex for the style and it still works.
Drank 750 ml of Reuze by The Bruery (2012-09-06)January 6th, 2014
2017-04-30
Amazing pucker, this beer held up wonderfully. Super refreshing.
2014-01-06
Very tart, almost flat, not bad but no funk. May have liked this one better fresh.
Drank 650 ml of Firestone 15 - Anniversary Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2011)January 2nd, 2014
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 §ucaba by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2012)December 27th, 2013
2013-12-27
Looots of malt, great roast in the finish, such a well done barleywine. The smoothness of theirs is unbeatable.
2013-03-18
Big, malty, and delicious. Tons of caramel, some toffee, super smooth, almost no booziness. Glad I have two more to sit on!
Drank 750 ml of Melange No. 1 by The Bruery (2013-09-28)December 27th, 2013
2017-04-30
This beer is great; the blend works so well, with a nice tartness up front that mellows perfectly into the stout for the finish.
2013-12-27
Great mix of sour, stout, and brings down the alcohol to a drinkable level. Wish I had more, actually super accessible.
