Could be my brain expecting something viscous because of the WT barrel aging. It was kinda thin for a stout, but it had good flavor. At $9, I'm not sure if I'll be buying another any time soon.

Kpiz Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Avery Raspberry Sour. This smells like fresh raspberries and has a nice, sour brown ale base. Really tasty.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, would love to hear your notes if you do come across it. Just FYI I had batch #5, which is 5.6% ABV, though I'd imagine all the batches are pretty solid.

T Comp Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Topanga Gulch, a special release from Half Acre today. 8% DIPA hopped with Citra, Equinox and Chinook. Definetly not your father's juicy NE IPA or any HopSlammy sweetness, I call it a winner. Complex citrus, dank on dank, long lasting dry finish-damn maybe forever, being muted now by a pour of bourbon. Another Half Acre IPA, Gone Away, our always in the frig house beer, was the aperitif.

emr454 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 First taste of Orval his afternoon. Lightly malty and bready, then fades into some hop bitterness and a sour note. Reminds me of a less effervescent gueuze. Tasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Grunt Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) "Brother Thelonious", from North Coast Brewing in Fort Bragg, CA., a Belgian Abbey style ale in a corked and caged 750 ml bottle. Malty, slight sour taste, with notes of black licorice and coffee. As the label on the bottle claims, "Bottled Bebop".

Kpiz Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Another Rodenbach Alexander tonight. This beer is incredibly refreshing. Tons of cherry, some vinegaryness, lemon, just the right amount of tart.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Had the Rodenbach Alexander twice on draft this past week. Maybe the best sour I've ever had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool that you got to have it on draft - I bought three 750ml bottles of it and I've already drunk two with the help of my significant other.

Kpiz Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Tonight I had the Boulevard/Firestone Collaboration #6, which is a blend of Bourbon Barrel Quad, Stickee Monkee, Imperial Stout X - Tart Cherry, and Velvet Merkin. It was good but surprisingly mellow for a beer at 12.5% ABV. It's possible that the spicy Korean food I had for dinner beforehand overwhelmed my tastebuds and made this one more muted than it actually is. Not bad, just unexciting.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emr454 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Supporting a local brewer today. Tried this at a "Taste of NY" event monday evening. Has a nice malty backbone wih just enough resiny hop bitterness to keep it balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think my dinner threw me off, it just tasted muted. Looks like MtNBourbon enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emr454 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Weihenstephaner Korbinian, probably my favorite beer of all time. Slightly roasty and bready with a hint of barleywine and some banana notes. Tasty dopplebock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
