Thig Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yes I made it, it was a True Brew Pale Ale kit. Turned out really great for my first beer. I have a Magic Hat #9 clone in the primary now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-Savage Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I used to make beer for a few years. I had to quit because I always had 24 cases of 500 ml bottles on hand at all times. It was getting a little bit out of hand.that is a nice looking beer you got goin on there I must say. Do you prime with Malt? or Corn Sugar? or is that CO2 Injected and then aged thig?

P&MLiquorsEric Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Local brewery had a beer release over the weekend for their 3rd anniversary. Three different barrel aged porters: an orange rum truffle, Mexican chocolate, and espresso. Had all of those and a few other goodies they had on draft. Now, a Hi-Res at home.I was there Sunday. Had an hour before a nephews bday party. Spent first 30 min in line. Very good draft offerings. Espresso barrel aged black gold porter tastes like coffee and not much else.

tanstaafl2 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 A little beer fest on Sunday night for President's Day! A modest little flight of beers from my bunker with the exception of one home brew that a friend makes from his "Mostly Harmless" Brewery and a Starr Hill Stout. More or less in order: Karmeliet Tripel Blackberry Farms Classic Ale, Farm Saison and "Screaming Cock" (a Belgian style dubbel) Westmalle Dubbel (to compare to the Blackberry Farm. The Blackberry Farm dubbel wasn't bad but was no match for the real thing!) Brooklyn Black Ops 2013 and 2014 (I tended to like the older bottle each time but this wasn't a blind test) Boulevard Grainstorm Black Rye IPA from about 2013 Unibroue Tres Pistoles - a stong dark Belgian ale style Mostly Harmless Brewery Noel Noire (A stout style home brew with spices) Founders Big Lushious (a raspberry stout and still excellent but my last two need to be drunk fairly soon I think) Southern Tier Imperial Choklat Stout Boulevard Hibiscus Gose Starr Hill Little Red Roostarr Coffee Cream Stout Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA Also did a coupler of additional comparisons. Founder's Backwoods Bastard 2013 and 2014 Bourbon County Stout 2013 and 2014 Westvleteren 12 from Belgium versus one sold in the US a while back by Total Wine (not much difference between those two) I think that was it. Although a little whiskey and cognac also managed to make an appearance! But that almost always happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Was there much difference between Backwoods Bastard from 2013 and 2014?I try to get a 4-pack each year but never held any too long.Thanks.Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2014 was fantastic! The 2013 left much to be desired. The bourbon notes were a ghost of what they once were. I shared these with two buddies and we all agreed the fresh '14 was waaaay ahead of the '13.I liked the aged one a bit better. I thought it got more dense for me. But the difference was subtle and it does lose some of the fresh bourbon notes as described. Even now the 2014 is starting to change a bit at 3+ months of age.

amg Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Speaking of beers that age well, I'm sipping on a 2013 BCBS and it is quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPPSmoker Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Speaking of beers that age well, I'm sipping on a 2013 BCBS and it is quite nice.I'm with you on that one. '13 BCBS was very hot when it released. I revisited this two months ago. It had mellowed out some but it was still hotter than I thought it would be considering it had been in the bottle for at least one year. I thought the age made it slightly better.

MTNBourbon Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Welcome aboard MTNBourbon. I had some Hopslam earlier. Dug my new favorite beer out of the cellar for drinking tonight. If anyone has never had Avery Tweak, you should try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
