Drank 750 ml of Quite Something by The Rare Barrel (2015-12-02) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Really liked the Bordeaux beers this evening, as that flavor really shows through in a tasty way. A little sweet, a little tart, really nice. | |
Drank 750 ml of Proportional Response by The Rare Barrel (2014-02-12) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Least favorite beer of the evening. Not bad at all, just rather boring and straightforward. | |
Drank 750 ml of On The Shoulders Of Giants by The Rare Barrel (2014-05-30) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 The most cherry-forward beer of the night, while the base beer itself was rather mild. I wasn't a huge fan of this combo, though others expressed a lot of liking, so probably depends on what you're into. | |
Drank 750 ml of Map of the Sun by The Rare Barrel (2015-09-01) | November 5th, 2017 |
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 Map of the Moon by The Rare Barrel (2016-04-01) | November 5th, 2017 |
2021-09-03 Still lots of apricot and quite delicious | |
2017-11-05 SO much apricot still there, totally holding it's own. Map of the Sun on steroids, and it works, even helping to hide some of the astringency. | |
Drank 750 ml of Keen Observation by The Rare Barrel (2016-02-18) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Like a super mellow cousin to Map of the Sun, a really pleasant quaffer. Could drink this all day in the summer. | |
Drank 750 ml of Impossible Soul by The Rare Barrel (2015-05-20) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Cherries very astringent and present here still, with the tart cherries dominating. Quite good! | |
2017-01-06 Lots of fruit, great pucker, all around solid sour with the typical Rare Barrel profile. Digging it. | |
Drank 750 ml of Hypnotized by The Rare Barrel (2016-01-06) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Didn't have much of this one, but the Ensorcelled presence was noticeably, got some of that dark sour presence. Decent. | |
Drank 750 ml of Home, Sour Home by The Rare Barrel (2015-04-15) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 This beer has held up! Might even be a little better than fresh given the spices have faded. A huge hit among everyone tonight. | |
2016-04-07 Delicious! Still a solid amount of cinnamon, especially after it warmed up. | |
Drank 750 ml of Gifted Branch by The Rare Barrel (2016-06-22) | November 5th, 2017 |
2021-09-03 Still great, mellowed nicely but plenty of fruit | |
2017-11-05 Lots of fruit, apricots more dominant at this point though the peach is still a nice backdrop. Another favorite of the evening, likely due to lots of fruit! | |
Drank 750 ml of Forces Unseen by The Rare Barrel (2015-01-29) | November 5th, 2017 |
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 Forces Unseen by The Rare Barrel (2014-10-08) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Amazing beer even after three years. Such a pleasant, complex, mildly sweet flavor given it's just a blend. | |
2015-01-24 Still has that amazing fruitiness for having no actual fruit, drinking great. | |
Drank 750 ml of Feed The Monster by The Rare Barrel (2015-08-19) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Extremely tart thanks to the blueberry presence, amazing color, and quite tasty. Probably least favorite fruit adjunct of the night though, as it mostly expresses as acidity. | |
2017-04-02 Clean, nice funk in the Rare Barrel style, and still a good bit of tart fruit there as well. | |
Drank 750 ml of Ensorcelled by The Rare Barrel (2016-01-14) | November 5th, 2017 |
2021-09-03 Quite tart still! And lots of it is from fruit. Tasty. | |
2017-11-05 Most fruit forward though that fruit was still very subdued. Dark sour seems to mask the fruit pretty quickly. | |
Drank 750 ml of Ensorcelled by The Rare Barrel (2015-01-28) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Maybe a tad more fruit, definitely sharper on the palate (a bit more carbonated than the '14?). Delicious. | |
2016-09-03 Dark, delicious, more fruit came out as it warmed, a great sipper. Really enjoyed even when inappropriately paired with Thai food ;-) |
