| Drank 12 oz of Black Chocolate Stout by Brooklyn Brewery (2018-10-09) | November 13th, 2018 |
2019-08-31 OK, this is pretty good now. Expedition doesn't hit its stride until about a year, so it's a fair analogue. | |

| Drank 12 oz of Deth's Tar by Revolution Brewing LLC (2017-11-09) | November 11th, 2018 |
2018-11-11 Don't drink fully chilled. I was worried until it warmed up a bit. | |
2018-01-24 About what I expected. Which is to say, exceptionally good. In the same tier as BCBS. Massive barrel. High ABV. Started out roasty with too much carbonation, but quickly smoothed out as it warmed. Just a rich, thick dark, stout. More marshmallow /vanilla than chocolate. Not a fan of the cans for cellar life but I love the serving size. | |
| Drank 16 oz of Juice Pants by Maplewood Brewery (2018-10-01) | November 8th, 2018 |
2018-11-02 Note to self: give up on NEIPAs. It smells great but I'm a west coast guy. | |

2018-11-08 This is an exceptionally good beer. I wish I liked it. | |

| Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout by Central Waters Brewing Company (2017-10-17) | November 1st, 2018 |
2017-12-06 Cocoa powder. Less bourbon than I remember from the other bottle, wouldn't mind a little more. It also needs another month, at least, to settle in the bottle. But maybe the best vintage that I can remember. | |
2017-11-24 The 2016 took a few months to get this good. This one is ready to go out of the gate. Chocolate bomb on the nose and tongue. Some coffee at the backend, too. More than I remember in other vintages. This is simply great. Reaffirms that I don't _need_ any other barrel stout. | |
| Drank 16 oz of Ninja vs Unicorn by Pipeworks Brewing Company (2018-09-27) | October 31st, 2018 |
| Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Barleywine by Central Waters Brewing Company (2017-03-16) | October 30th, 2018 |
2020-01-17 So, this takes 2 or 3 years of aging to get it where I want it. The bite is gone, the heat is gone, so smooth and rich. Tastes unmistakably like a barleywine, and an American barleywine at that, but so well integrated. One of the few worth the cellar space. Sigh, not quite Straightjacket but half the price. | |
2019-01-30 Life. | |
2018-01-09 This was a little more woody tasting earlier on but now the sweeter stickiness is coming out just like you want from a barleywine. | |
