Life and Limb 2 - hate to say that I really did not think it was all that special(but I have been drinking some pretty amazing beers lately).
Got another bottle I am going to lay down for awhile.

Have you tried Surly Abrasive yet? It's good but potent. The hops really mask the alcohol.

Last night I had Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster IIPA. It tasted too sweet to me for an IIPA. Not horrible, but at $12/4-pack there are others I'd buy first next time.

tasty beer, hopefully more sour builds over the next year or two. Right now it's a very refreshing floral sour...

I like it. I had their Humidor Zhukov and the spanish cedar was so strong it really turned me off. The oak is pretty forward in this beer, but it works well.

It's OK, it'll make it that much better when (if:rolleyes:) I get to try it. :tu

Hard to complain though, even missing the Hunahpu barrel release, life goes on and there will plenty others to get/try.

Speaking of which, did you try either of those CCB's we got from Matt yet?

Went to a Cigar City Brewing tasting of wood aged beers last night. Most were one-offs and not commercially available.

The list included; cedar, maple, raw oak, toasted oak, and hickory.

The beers that got these treatments were their IPA, RIS (Zhukov), Saison, Maduro Brown, and an as yet unreleased Belgian style that was super spicy aged with the cedar (it was INTENSE).

Overall a very interesting night and some great beers. My favorites were the Zhukov and the raw oak IPA (soooo much better IMO than with the cedar).

Tequesta Hopscotch. Not sure what to make of this beer. Bottle was underfilled and undercarbonated. Really hoppy for a scotch ale. Reminds me of a black ipa. And I'm not getting much of the oak. overall underwhelmed.
