CUfan99 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Cracked this John J. Bowman SiB while I enjoy Clemson thoroughly dismantle Notre Dame. I’m super impressed with this pour. It’ll be a buy on sight bottle because it’s rarely seen where I shop. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on the train for about 3 days in a row so I decided to pivot to Four Roses tonight but will be back on the train tomorrow. True enough; I feel so manipulated.

Kyjd75 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Picked up a bottle of BBC Discovery#3 a couple of days ago while eating at Bottle and Bond. Intended to wait until Christmas to open, but what the H#%* I decided to go ahead and enjoy a pour tonight. It is good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also equate high rye bourbons and straight ryes with the holidays for their spice. Plus finished whiskeys like HW Midwinter Nights Dram. Also winter ales & lagers. Plus spiked egg nog. I may have a problem ... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the inherent flaw with the Beam wax from Clermont or Boston, it’s not ‘blessed’! In Clermont and Boston, the devil damns the wax while he's on shift making his "cut". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening some older HWMWND (Act 5 and earlier) Christmas Eve - newer stuff doesn't excite my palate since HW ran out of the 18yr old rye barrels that used to go into the Rendezvous blend. At least I still have some in The Bunker. & Edited December 20, 2020 by GeeTen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss West Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Completely agree about the old vs new HW MWND. SBS the differences are insurmountable. I also like more sherried scotch and armagnac during the Holidays. It is "Armagnac Season", the shenanigans have been declared. The Delerium Noel holiday beer was so great I had to buy two packs. Absolutely adore the flying pink christmas elephants pint glasses!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guss West Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 "Once banned in the US because the provocative title of this line of ales was thought to encourage overindulgence (the pink elephant logo on the label probably did very little to curb the argument), Delirium Noel from the Huyghe Brewery is a seasonal Belgian Strong Ale that pours dark red with a foamy beige head. Top fermented and bottle conditioned, the brew boasts potent aromas of dark fruit, apricot, caramel malt, sweet cherry, cinnamon and clove with notes of vanilla, apple, banana and yeast. Taste is similar to aroma and also includes toffee, plum, and red wine with notes of pepper and bitter hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and creamy smooth thanks to generous and lively carbonation; the 10.0% ABV is well hidden, and the finish is lingering, spicy, and dry." ~~~ I don't think there are added christmas spices, but it is certainly loaded with spicy flavors! Perfect beer for rich foods, meats, and cheeses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_OKC Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Working my way through bottles in the back of the shelf. Bought this one in either 2012 or 2013, and it was a little dusty at the time. I have two more left. I do appreciate Old Forester. Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven s Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 was gifted a bottle of cream of kentucky 13 year. #5 wonderful nose, still figuring out the rest. So far it's unique to me. Not sure I would pay the 120-165 i have seen it at, but will have another tonight, and revisit in a couple weeks. anyone have an idea who he got these barrels from? I saw a mention of Barton somewhere, but it does not taste like Barton to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Just picked this up on the recommendations of fellow SBers. It makes a fine Christmas pour! Will compare it to proofed down MMCS at a later date. For now just enjoying this wheat goodness! Merry Christmas 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
