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. | |
Drank 750 ml of There Are Rules by The Rare Barrel (2016-08-09) | November 5th, 2017 |
2021-06-18 Standout, mellowed and lots of fruit in the nose and on the palate. Delicious, crowd favorite. | |
2017-11-05 Lots of fruit but it all works well together. Conclusion: basically impossible to add too much fruit to one of these beers. Really good. | |
Drank 750 ml of Sourtooth Tiger by The Rare Barrel (2016-09-08) | November 5th, 2017 |
2017-11-05 A lot more tart than the '14 Sourtooth, probably due to batch differences, though the former may have mellowed with age. A little too sharp but that's just me disliking the ginger, mostly. | |
2017-05-30 Some sour, some ginger. Actually quite nice, once the initial ginger finish wore off. | |
Drank 750 ml of Sourtooth Tiger by The Rare Barrel (2014-07-22) | November 5th, 2017 |
2021-09-25 Ginger has not mellowed with time. Fun beer, refreshing, but oh so much ginger. | |
2017-11-05 Still very ginger forward, but otherwise a really mellow beer. Probably my favorite of the two Sourtooths. | |
Drank 16 oz of Elevated IPA by La Cumbre (2017-09-29) | October 27th, 2017 |
Drank 650 ml of Double Double Barrel Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2012) | August 19th, 2017 |
2017-08-19 Started with this one; about what I remember, lots of malt but a nice bitterness to back up the style, at least relative to some of the other English styles on pour for the evening. | |
2012-12-28 Quite malty! Notes of molasses, candy, moderate carbonation, mild booziness. Should do well with aging. | |
Drank 650 ml of Double Double Barrel Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2013) | August 19th, 2017 |
2013-09-07 Smoooooth. Tiniest bit of alcohol heat on the finish, tons of toffee and molasses, along with a hint of vanilla, on the palate. Delicious, much better than I remember the 2012 being. |
