| Drank 12 oz of Hopslam by Bell's Brewery, Inc. (2016-01-14) | February 5th, 2016 |
| Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Barleywine by Central Waters Brewing Company (2016-01-14) | February 5th, 2016 |
2018-03-22 This is insanely good. Pure dessert. Hops barely present compared to the 2017 at this point. Not sure how much to attribute to vintage vs. age. | |
2016-04-13 Drank a bottle with a dessert consisting of butterscotch pudding and homemade shortbread. Really brought out the "American" style. Hops were much more prevalent when consumed with sweeter foods. Still amazing every time. | |
2016-02-05 Best just below room temperature. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Sláinte Scottish Style Ale by Central Waters Brewing Company (2015) | February 4th, 2016 |
2016-01-23 Keep this one chilled. It's better when refrigerator cold. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Scotch Ale by Central Waters Brewing Company (2015-08-06) | February 3rd, 2016 |
2020-02-20 Held up remarkably well, much better than the 2016 I opened the same night. Rich malty depth and retains more barrel than bourbon. Still, it showed its age, not a beer that needs cellaring. Sad to see CW let this one go. | |
2017-07-18 I like it chilled a bit, now, but not 44 degrees or anything. As good as it gets for me. | |
2016-08-27 The best. | |
2016-05-19 This is just my favorite beer. So rich and sweet, but not alcohol sweet. Smooth and delicious. | |
2016-05-04 Bourbon had faded significantly after 9 months. It's still there but more in the background. It's smoother overall but I really liked the big bourbon presence. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Special Double Cream Stout by Bell's Brewery, Inc. (2015-11-04) | February 3rd, 2016 |
2016-02-03 Super roast, burnt flavor but not coffee-ish. Velvety mouthfeel. It's fine but I'd rather have a Guinness. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Plead the 5th Imperial Stout by Dark Horse Brewing Co. (2015-12) | February 1st, 2016 |
2016-12-11 Same evaluation after a year in the cellar. Too much coffee bitterness for me. Great mouthfeel, smells pretty good, probably a very good beer but I just don't like it. | |
2016-02-01 It's probably a good imperial stout but too much coffee for me. Don't buy again. Also a palate wrecker. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Sláinte Scottish Style Ale by Central Waters Brewing Company (2015) | February 1st, 2016 |
2016-01-23 Keep this one chilled. It's better when refrigerator cold. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Skull Splitter by Orkney Brewery (2015-06-17) | February 1st, 2016 |
2016-01-13 Best fresh. | |
| Drank 22 oz of Double Bastard Ale by Stone Brewing (2015-10-23) | January 31st, 2016 |
2016-01-31 Fantastic. Even more depth and lovely maltiness than Arrogant Bastard. | |
| Drank 22 oz of Double Bastard Ale by Arrogant Bastard Brewing Co. (2015-10-23) | January 31st, 2016 |
2016-01-31 Fantastic. Even more depth and lovely maltiness than Arrogant Bastard. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Hopslam by Bell's Brewery, Inc. (2016-01-14) | January 30th, 2016 |
| Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout by Central Waters Brewing Company (2015-11-17) | January 30th, 2016 |
2020-02-21 Cocoa powder. Held up better than the Scotch Ale, little bourbon left. Doesn't benefit from aging, though. | |
2017-07-23 Yes. | |
2016-11-22 Tried this next to the (very fresh) 2016 and there's no comparison. The 2015 is so mellow and rich and deep. Should be interesting to compare after another year. | |
2016-06-10 Yes. So much flavor. Doesn't have the rick, thick, bite of a RIS but so good. Lots of barrel character. Vanilla in the aroma, chocolate in the flavor. No need to buy Uncle Jacob's Stout anymore. | |
