Hazy IPA, sorry Tom!
Not drinking much beyond IPAs of one variety or another these days...

Saturday was a success

icehog3 · 09-28-2020, 04:53 PM

Did you drink that all, Ben?

Had a bourbon tasting at a local guys' house yesterday afternoon, lotsa pours there too. Good stuff all leading up to Pappy 15 year, which might not even have been my favorite pour of the session.

Hell of a lineup! Still trying to decide what to do for black friday this year, I like waiting in line to get whatever the most limited one we get that year (I just go 1-2 hours before they open and smoke a cigar) but it also sucked seeing all the other variants on the shelf for weeks/months other places, some still are. I'll probably still do it this year unless there's somewhere selling good bourbon somewhere else in town

Gave Doomsday Clock a try the other day, this is from Crooked Stave along the lines of their Gift of Time series. Freaky long aging terms using a high quality stout (I think Evil Twin was involved but I forget where I heard that). This is the first with adjuncts but they weren't too noticeable, thick as oil and delicious

Went up to Three Floyds on Sunday to get my DL packs also waiting on my GI Prop package to arrive.

Picked up some tasty ipas from Triptych on the way home.

Opened up a fun one last night, drank one of these fresh in 2016 and thought it was a solid stout with just a little too much blueberry, so I bought two more to cellar. Cracked the first of them after 4 years, the blueberry was pushed to the side and the chocolate and vanilla started to shine. On the finish everything mixed together in a bazaar minty taste, not bad but incredibly unique. Can't wait to try the other in a few years

I remember trying that years ago. Can't remember if I dug it or not.

stearns · 11-30-2020, 10:02 AM

Picked up some BCBS Friday morning then came home and decided I wasn't leaving the house the rest of the day, so I went through this guy. It was fun to drink, it kept the booziness as under control as you can for a 22%+ beer, I've had less that are harder to drink but it's not something I could see myself buying again

22%?!

That's outrageous! I thought the Avery Mephistopheles I had at 19% a few years ago was crazy.

stearns · 11-30-2020, 10:14 AM

River North's first release of Double Avarice was 19.5% and tough to get down, their second release was 17.5% and significantly better. Not a lot of people can make the really high stuff and have it be good, at that point it's like a science experiment, but Avery is certainly one of them in my opinion

Although that Mephistopheles tasted like somebody poured 3 oz of bourbon into my 12 oz beer.

I mean... yeah that's going to happen, look at the ABV
