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 ;-) | |
Drank 750 ml of Ensorcelled by The Rare Barrel (2014-02-17) | November 5th, 2017 |
2022-09-16 Tasting amazing, very little oxidation and a surprising amount of fruit. Not as tart as expected either. | |
2017-11-05 La Folie style dark sour backing, not too much fruit left though it's still there. Pretty good, though surprisingly not many people went for it tonight. | |
Drank 750 ml of Cosmic Dust by The Rare Barrel (2014-07-03) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Really nice and mild, hibiscus expressed as a mellow backing to a less tart version of their typical golden sour. Pleasant. | |
2015-06-26 Hibiscus faded but still there, especially in the nose, and just a really solid sour profile, not too funky or brett forward, just right in both areas. Delicious. | |
Drank 750 ml of Becoming by The Rare Barrel (2015-05-06) | November 5th, 2017 |
2021-07-04 Coming off the Upland this was quite mellow. Fruit mild but noticeable, all around easy sipper. | |
2017-11-05 Still a ton of fruit in this one, and a favorite of many who tried it. Super balanced, just the right amount of sweet and sour. | |
2016-01-24 Still lots of fruit, kind of low carb which helps bring it out, great color, nice balanced tartness to boot. Was great with roast pork! | |
Drank 750 ml of Arrows of Neon by The Rare Barrel (2016-06-08) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Noticeable lemon and lime zing in this otherwise straightforward Berliner. Quite nice! | |
Drank 750 ml of Apropos of Nothing by The Rare Barrel (2014-09-23) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Lavender super present in this! Amazing nose as a result, and really nice, if slightly weird (in a good way) on the palate. | |
2015-03-15 Tasting delicious, lots of fruit, not too tart at all, super clean, love this beer. | |
2014-12-25 Fruit in the nose, lots of acidity and fruit on the palate, got a definite cranberry thing going on that's really tasty. A crowd pleaser. | |
Drank 750 ml of Another World by The Rare Barrel (2016-03-03) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Sampled this one, a little sweet, but not too much amber maltiness. Simple and nice. | |
Drank 750 ml of Afterlight by The Rare Barrel (2016-02-03) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 First beer of the night, fairly mild tartness with some really nice and sweet Bordeaux characteristics. Dark and delicious. | |
Drank 750 ml of Wise Guise by The Rare Barrel (2016-04-13) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 Age seems to have helped here, as the 2015 bottle tasted a little nicer, with more sweetness. | |
Drank 750 ml of Wise Guise by The Rare Barrel (2015-01-13) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 The red base here blends nicely with the raspberries, a fairly sweet and drinkable beer. | |
2016-04-08 Big wine notes, a bit of fruit, good deal of raisin. Not bad but not their best. |
