| Drank 500 ml of Bourbon County Brand Stout (2015) by Goose Island Beer Co. (2015-11-09) | July 21st, 2018 |
2018-12-28 Last 2015 bottle. Sigh. | |
2017-12-05 Makes me reconsider my boycott of Goose Island. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Jai Alai IPA by Cigar City Brewing (2018-06-19) | July 20th, 2018 |
2018-07-12 Reminds me a lot of Founders' Azacca IPA. Hits most of the IPA notes but the crystal malt is sweeter than I want for the style. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Stone Farking Wheaton W00t Stout by Stone Brewing (2018-06-26) | July 19th, 2018 |
| Drank 22 oz of Double Bastard Ale by Arrogant Bastard Brewing Co. (2015-10-23) | July 18th, 2018 |
2016-01-31 Fantastic. Even more depth and lovely maltiness than Arrogant Bastard. | |

| Drank 22 oz of Birthday Bomb! by Prairie Artisan Ales (2017) | July 16th, 2018 |
2018-07-16 Good. Expensive. | |
| Drank 750 ml of Kriek Cuvée René by Brouwerij Lindemans (2016-02-05) | July 15th, 2018 |
2018-07-15 Smells like vinegary wine. Champagne carbonation. Very sour but tolerable. Lots of flavor, cherry doesn't dominate. Not that it isn't good, but doesn't need to be this sour and kind of expensive for being just OK. Who knows what would happen after 5 years, why bother? There's plenty of stuff I prefer readily available. | |

| Drank 750 ml of Darkness by Surly Brewing Co. (2017-09-20) | July 13th, 2018 |
2018-07-13 This was exceptional. I'll admit it was lacking the bite I've come to relish in an RIS but incredibly smooth at 12%. Raisin and cappuccino, chocolate. More creamy than viscous. Aroma was lacking as it warmed. Very pleasantly sweet, never cloying. Almost salty in a way. Balanced for, again, 12%. Well done. Far better than the 2015. | |

| Drank 12 oz of Thumbprint Oud Bruin by New Glarus Brewing Company (2016-01-14) | July 11th, 2018 |
2017-07-07 Wow. This might be the best sour I have ever had. Really malty for a sour, in my experience. Had some sweet berry like notes. Maybe cherry? Not overpoweringly sour. So much more depth than a year ago. Another one I would like to always have on hand. New Glarus makes my favorite sours, hands down. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout by Central Waters Brewing Company (2017-10-17) | July 10th, 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 12 oz of Thumbprint Wild Sour Ale by New Glarus Brewing Company (2018) | July 9th, 2018 |
| Drank 12 oz of Serendipity by New Glarus Brewing Company | July 8th, 2018 |
2018-01-31 Very heavy on the apple from the Teku glass. | |
2016-05-19 Blows me away, every time. The wrong food pairing can wreck this beer, though. First glass was amazing. After a salad with vinegar mustard dressing, all I could taste was the apples and a little cherry tart and cranberry sour. | |
