beer hauls

Salvelinus · 04-04-2010, 04:37 PM

My local sold out of the Sierra before I could get any. Found an off the radar shop with a few cases while traveling. Wish I had the cash for more. First time I had seen the SSR, and had been looking for the John John for a while too. I love the whisky barrel aged beers. The 12oz is the last bottle from a six pack, that I am finishing as I type.

Last night:

DFH Palo Santo
DFH Worldwide Stout
NC Old Stock Ale 2010 (I think I've got a nice vertical of this going, 2008-2010 now)
Bell's Expedition Stout
Orval

All but the Orval are going in the cellar for a long nap.

I had grabbed any of the 2009 or 2010 old stock yet, but the 2008 is NICE right now

what year is the WWS?

No idea, but I'll check.

I like Orval every so often but its not my favorite either, I really bought this particular one for the yeast/Brett. I added the dreggs of a bottle to half a batch of Saison right before bottling and it turned into one of my favorite homebrewed beers (very different from the non-Orval'ed other half). I also have a couple bottles in the cellar (a couple years old I think -need to check them), they are supposed to change quite a bit with a couple years on them, some don't feel it's an improvement, but I want to try myself. I guess you get less hop flavor/aroma and it gets a little funkier/drier....not sure the 'drier' is possible though.
