whiskeyagonzo Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 What did ya think of it?I really liked it. I'm not a huge fan of sours, but this one was super balanced. Perfect tart and sweetness for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect tart and sweetness for me. Cool. I also like the one I had a year or so back. Their about 100 miles from me, but I'm not a fan of waiting in line for brews. Very limited stuff in the store up there as well. People love their brews. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-T700 using Tapatalk I did pick up a Parabola this week but didn't drink it. I'll going to age it. Instead, I had a FW Fortem last night. Great nose. Taste didn't quite live up to the nose but still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Reserve Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 New Holland Black Tulip, a fine pour if you like Belgian Triples. I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 My first one of these in a few years. Big chocolate notes. The bourbon is there in the finish but very subdued. Tasty stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFitzWithTheGoldLabel Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I rarely drink beer, except for when I am at baseball games or eating hot wings. Tonight I drink this.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was apparently released in MO on Fri., April 7. I stopped by a store in Columbia MO at 11am and they said they were sold out of it in 5 minutes after opening at 9am. They made it seem like I was idiot for even asking. I stopped by another store back home in the St. Louis area on Saturday and was able to get 2 bottles. I sent my wife back in for another 2. I was travelling out of town on Tues., April 11 in southeast MO and stopped by another shop. It was more of a wine bar but they had some beer. I asked about KBS and they said they just started selling it that day and had most of it still but it was again limited to 2 bottles per. So I was able to pick up 6 bottles total. My wife went back by the first store a few days later to see if they had any left but they were out. She did manage to score the 4 pack cardboard carrier though. I'm going to put at least one bottle away in the basement and see how it ages. I have them kept in the fridge but I let it warm up for about 15 minutes before opening and pouring. It actually got better the longer it was in the glass. It is very well done and very balanced but being the bourbon fan (this is a bourbon site after all) I wished for a little more bourbon note. To my palate it is the best stout I've ever tried and the best batch of KBS I've had, even though its been a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTNBourbon Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Nice to see you found a few bottles. It will definitely open up more as it sits. Cheers! Edited April 17, 2017 by MTNBourbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I got around to trying Yuengling Lager now that it's available here. A grocery store had a case (24) priced the same as a 30 pack of Miller High Life or Busch. I say that's fair. Yuengling is just a little better than your average mass produced beer - to me at least. It's slightly darker and sweeter than Bud/Miller/Coors, more like Micheloeb Amber Bock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emr454 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Picked this up this morning. Nice combo of fruity and bitter hops, with a good malty backbone to balance it out. Cheesy label but good beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emr454 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) One more of these tonight. So good I had to get another 6 pack today. You can't tell it's almost 12% abv. Edited April 21, 2017 by emr454 details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my pet peeves in the craft brewing world are these cheesy labels and names the brewers seem infatuated with. Doesn't keep me from enjoying them when I like one, but I'd just like to say "Knock it off, sparky." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I picked up a six pack of Coor's yesterday because it had been a while since I had one, and I liked the look of the stubby bottle. The beer is standard macro lager type stuff, which is fine by me as I like an occasional Bud, Miller, etc. But, I really like drinking from this bottle shape. Nice change of pace today, and no glass required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Raining cats and dogs today, so relegated to inside duties, I.e. Packing for Bardstown then nap on couch with Braves on radio in background.... This deserves a beer. A nice Taxman Gold Standard Belgian style Abbey Blonde. Light on the banana-ish esters, and easy throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
