Drank 500 ml of Old Stock Cellar Reserve (Aged In Rye Whiskey Barrels) by North Coast Brewing Co. (2014)January 10th, 2017
2017-01-10
Pushes the boundaries of what beer is. A TON of whiskey. Sweetness of the base beer doesn't come through very much. Very complex but could probably use some more time to level out. It's pretty smooth despite the rye. Really looking forward to the 2013 in bourbon barrels. I'll probably grab another bottle of that if I get the chance since this was so good.
Drank 12 oz of Anti-Hero by Revolution Brewing LLC (2016-11-17)January 8th, 2017
2017-01-06
Could be a go-to. Different qualities come out depending on what it's paired with. Got more of the malt today. I noticed how great the lacing is, also. I'm not blown away but only because it's exactly what I expected. Very impressed.

Really solid for 6.5%. Aggressive hops. Bitter and flavorful. So much flavor for the abv. I could drink this regularly. I like it a lot better than Luponic Distortion, actually.
Drank 22 oz of Brewhouse Coffee Stout by Central Waters Brewing CompanyJanuary 8th, 2017
2017-01-08
Don't miss this release again. Great coffee flavor without the bitterness. Very drinkable and 8.2% abv.

Drank 12 oz of Founders Imperial Stout by Founders Brewing (2014-12-02)January 4th, 2017

Yeah, pretty good at 2 years but few stand up to Expedition.

Dark and roasty, molasses. I like this a lot better than their Breakfast Stout (maybe I need to try that one again) but not as much as Expedition Stout. Still a great beer.

Over a year old but doesn't taste much different than fresh. Maybe not worth the cellar space to age this one?
Drank 12 oz of Head Hunter by Fat Head's Brewery & Saloon (2016-11-30)December 30th, 2016
2016-12-30
Smells of lime and pineapple. Carbonation combines with the bitterness perfectly. Very drinkable at 7.5% and lots of flavor. It's got everything you want. Maybe a bit all over the place but hard to complain. It's juicy hoppy, bitter, citrusy, tropical fruity. But it was pricey at $12 for a 4 pack, wonder what it goes for in OH.
Drank 330 ml of Aphrodite by Brasserie Dieu du CielDecember 30th, 2016
2016-12-30
Surprisingly bitter. I wouldn't have thought it was a stout. More of a bitter black ale. The cocoa and vanilla came through in the aroma and sometimes in the flavor. I wanted it to be sweeter. It tasted like bittersweet chocolate, maybe that's where it got the bite from. Some pleasant flavors at times but I didn't like it all that much. Should have gotten the newer vintage, this was probably at least 2015, but I think it's just not what I want.
Drank 16 oz of Even More Jesus by Evil Twin (2016)December 29th, 2016
2016-12-29
Super thick and chocolaty. Shows the alcohol. Pricey enough but not ridiculous compared to a 22oz bottle. Worth keeping around. I like this one a bit cooler than most big beers, though. Turns a bit harsh and boozy as it warms. Even a bit salty at the very end. Stacks up well to Expedition Stout, but not a RIS.

Drank 12 oz of Burton Baton by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (2015-07-01)December 21st, 2016

Holds up well after 3 years. Maybe better around 1.5 to 2.

Kind of like a Belgian Strong Ale, candy sugar sweetness but with more malty depth. Some Dried fruit sweetness, as well. Carbonation is superb, incredibly delicate bubbles that give a velvety feel. It's probably not brewed to taste like this but by sheer coincidence is excellent as it ages.

I need to try this one fresh because I really like it with some age on it. Would be interesting (and expensive) to compare.
Drank 12 oz of Seven Day Sour by Trinity Brewing CompanyDecember 20th, 2016
2016-12-20
Not overpoweringly sour, and the flavor goes on forever. Still, it's in that area of sours that I apparently don't like as much. I still get a little of the acetone flavor. Not sure what that is. I love some sours. This one is OK.
