dcbt Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 After the ER17 talk yesterday I realized I hadn't had any many months so went back to it last night. Truly fantastic. Then went to my favorite steakhouse for an early birthday dinner and tried Baker's for the first time. I enjoyed it. Came home and kept the 107 proof going with some PVW15. I'll be scaling it back down the shelf today, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPPSmoker Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Some buddies and I started smoking 600 pounds of shoulder beef clod at 6:00PM last night and finished up at 5:00 AM this morning for our parish's 54th Fall Festival. Pours included Four Roses 2011 LE SmB, Four Roses gift shop OBSK (an epic stunner), EC18, MMCS and 2013 GTS. Everyone agreed that the gift shop bottle was the winner. We also had some Founder's Harvest Ale and Dirty Bastard. It was a very enjoyable evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPPSmoker Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Bet you didn't make it to 6 AM mass either :grin:. Let's hear how the clod turned out too. We went to church on Saturday before smoking - I'm worthless on Sunday after doing this job. One of the better things about smoking clods is that it is a forgiving meat to smoke. We cook them up to 200+ degrees and then place them in warmers. A crew of guys come in at 7:00AM to cut and shred the beef and then it sits in warmers and roasters for a while. The meat does dry out a little bit but the clods produce a ton of juice that get turns into gravy. We mix a really good rub that works into that juice during the cook and we get rave reviews for it every year. It's pretty much our job for the next 20 years.

BB Slim Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Bought my first bottle of WTRB this weekend based on all of the positive comments here on SB. Having my first taste tonight. Count me as one of its new fans. I'm really enjoying my first pour. Thanks to all of the Rare Breed fans posting here on SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvd99 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 WTDA - I like WT and this one is tasty enough, but not quite worth the money paid. It's a shame this wasn't 101 proof or higher for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul W Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 FR1B -- liked it so much, I went with it two nights in a row. The wife commented on how that was unusual for me.VSOF -- bottle had been open for a while, so I was hoping it had "changed" since I last sampled it. Not so much. All I taste is oak oak and more oak. Might make this the subject of my first "vatting" experiment, mixing it with Larceny to try to mellow it out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philmuck Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Probably going to go ahead and finish off my last pour of Weller 12 tonight. It deserves all the accolades it receives.

Clavius Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I somehow managed to get a 2014 Stagg the other day. This is my first bottle of Stagg. The only other BTAC I've ever managed to get was a 2011 WLW (which was amazing, btw). I debated over and over about whether or not to even open the Stagg but I ultimately did open it the night I got it. At 138.1 proof it's just too much for me to try neat. So, using the SB Proof Calculator I got it down to about 90 proof and gave it a whirl. That first night I opened it and tried it I thought it was just too hot and spicy for my taste. Tonight, I think that even with the same amount of water it is a remarkably complex bourbon.Long story short, 2014 Stagg is a great bottle and I feel fortunate to have one. :yum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 2014 4R SB LE. A couple of months with this bottle, and I've I've jumped in and out of it several times. I'm trying so much to find something in this to hit my sweet-spot. I'm getting a little nice dark chocolate, and the finish is pretty stout...but it just ain't agreeing with me. But, OK with me...cuz there are a number of other 4R selections that rock my world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
