| Drank 750 ml of 75 Minute IPA by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (2015-10-07) | January 17th, 2016 |
2016-01-17 Didn't taste the maple or bourbon at all. A little of the barrel in the nose but very disappointing. Not even that enjoyable as a plain IPA. Might have lost some hoppiness in my cellar but not at all what I expected. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Narwhal Imperial Stout by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. (2015-09-11) | January 14th, 2016 |
2016-12-13 Really good RIS. Just below Czar. Can't say it gained much with a year but seems more roasty. Wish the chocolate could come out more. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Skull Splitter by Orkney Brewery (2015-06-17) | January 13th, 2016 |
2016-01-13 Best fresh. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout by Central Waters Brewing Company (2015-11-17) | January 12th, 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. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Old Jubilation Ale by Avery Brewing Company (2015) | January 11th, 2016 |
2016-01-11 Didn't care for this one too much. Pretty sweet, tastes a lot like dates and other dried fruit. | |
| Drank 25 oz of Wisconsin Belgian Red by New Glarus Brewing Company (2015) | January 10th, 2016 |
| Drank 25 oz of Wisconsin Belgian Red by New Glarus Brewing Company (2015) | January 10th, 2016 |
| Drank 750 ml of Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale by Boulevard Brewing Company (2015-07-29) | January 8th, 2016 |
2016-01-08 Much better than I expected as I'm not, generally, a fan of the style. The initial taste is much like an American Pale Ale, aftertaste like biting into a grapefruit peel. Exceptional (excessive?) head and retention. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Sheep Shagger by Tyranena Brewing (2015-11) | January 7th, 2016 |
| Drank 12 oz of Special Double Cream Stout by Bell's Brewery, Inc. (2015-11-04) | January 6th, 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 Louie's Reserve Scotch Ale by Lake Louie Brewing (2015) | January 3rd, 2016 |
| Drank 500 ml of Bourbon County Brand Stout by Goose Island Beer Co. (2015-11-09) | January 2nd, 2016 |
2016-11-07 Yum. Viscous, deep, rich, decadent, intoxicating. Everything I want from a RIS. Wish they'd put out the base beer, too. | |
| Drank 22 oz of Citra by Pipeworks Brewing Company (2015) | January 1st, 2016 |
| Drank 12 oz of Wulver by Thirsty Dog Brewing (2015) | December 31st, 2015 |
2018-02-06 Yeah. Well past it's prime. All the same flavors are there but it's messed up now. About a year of aging seems right. Don't sit on this one for too long. | |
2016-05-15 Amazing this time. Humongous barrel character. Incredible vanilla. This time was as good as any other BB scotch ale I've had. They're crazy to say 43 degrees, though. Doesn't come alive below 55. | |
2015-12-31 CAUTION, GUSHER!!! A bit thin but plenty of depth. Ignore suggestion to drink at 43 degrees. Heavy whiskey flavor. 11 months in the barrel can do that. Could mellow out with some time. | |
| Drank 330 ml of Old Engine Oil by Harviestoun Brewery | December 29th, 2015 |
2015-12-29 Dark and roasty, a bit too much coffee for my taste. Also a bit expensive at $3.25/bottle. I can get similar for much cheaper. | |
