| Drank 12 oz of Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout by Goose Island Beer Co. (2013-11-15) | February 24th, 2014 |
2015-06-26 Still a surprising amount of coffee, and tasting great, thick, not too hot, and that great BCBS stout character. Still digging it. | |
2015-01-23 Tasting great, though as expected a bit muted on the coffee compared to drinking it fresh. | |
2014-12-24 Much sweeter than remembered, though not in a bad way, coffee definitely subdued but still present in the nose and on the backend, has some of that BCBW marshmellow I remember too. Tasting great. | |
2014-02-24 Still great, lots of coffee on the nose and on the palate, and so drinkable for the ABV, hardly any heat. A great blend. | |
2013-12-13 Sooo much coffee presence, delicious and up front, much better than the 2012 bottle opened a while back. Superb and not grounds-like, just a great blend, should drink another soon. | |
| Drank 750 ml of The Wanderer by The Bruery (2013-10-24) | February 23rd, 2014 |
2014-11-16 Great fruit character and suuuuper tart, a great beer as always. | |
2014-02-23 Tart nose, mild raspberry and fruit flavor on the palate and a lot of yeast character and funk. Not super funky funk, but a decent bit of milder funk. A good beer, though perhaps slightly overrated. | |
| Drank 22 oz of Mogli by Caldera Brewing (2013) | February 18th, 2014 |
2014-02-18 Lots of chocolate, a fair bit of anise but not too much, a some good bitterness on the finish. Solid. | |
| Drank 750 ml of Hopocalypse Black Label by Drake's Brewing Co. (2014-02) | February 5th, 2014 |
2014-02-05 Good but not great, a bit sweet as with last year, though perhaps a bit better this year. | |
| Drank 375 ml of Beatification by Russian River Brewing Company (2013-09-11) | February 2nd, 2014 |
2014-02-02 So great. A hint of sweetness up front and then on the finish, with an amazing funk/sour in the middle. So well balanced, the Somnambic really shines through. Love this beer. | |
| Drank 750 ml of Reuze by The Bruery (2013-08-25) | February 2nd, 2014 |
2017-04-30 Not as amazingly puckering as the 2012, but still quite good! | |
2014-02-02 Super solid, more carbonated than the 2012 version, lots of sour, not much funk. A good take on the style in an American sense. | |
| Drank 750 ml of Gillian by Goose Island Beer Co. (2013-09-11) | February 2nd, 2014 |
2014-02-02 Amazing! Need to grab another. Great funk, great zest, and some amazing peppery and brett notes in there. Probably not worth $30, but still, an amazing beer. | |
| Drank 750 ml of Autumn Maple (Bourbon Barrel Aged) by The Bruery (2013-09-20) | February 2nd, 2014 |
2014-02-02 Surprisingly not sour! Great bourbon and vanilla were the main components, the yamminess was mostly covered up, enjoyed this much more than the regular. | |
| Drank 375 ml of Framboise For A Cure by Russian River Brewing Company (2013-10) | January 27th, 2014 |
2014-05-27 Still delicious, a little less fruit than before but can't help but love this beer. | |
2014-01-27 Still great, love this beer. Color is awesome, still lots of fruit in the nose and on the palette, amazing. Wish this was a regular for them. | |
| Drank 750 ml of Tout Mais Le Coller by The Bruery (2013-11-19) | January 17th, 2014 |
2014-01-17 Lots of orange, surprising amount of bitterness as well, nice creamy mouthfeel. Good but not great, though they do nail the orange creamsicle profile. | |
| Drank 750 ml of Seviin by Surly Brewing Co. (2013) | January 17th, 2014 |
2014-01-17 Somewhat straightforward Belgian ale, not amazing but not bad. | |
| Drank 750 ml of Mocha Wednesday by The Bruery (2013-12-24) | January 11th, 2014 |
2017-04-30 Coffee substantially subdued but still there in a muted way, and surprising amount of heat left in this beer otherwise! | |
2014-11-16 Still great, coffee is fading but overall such a balanced beer for the ABV. Not sad to have two more. | |
2014-01-11 Great bourbon, chocolate, and malt notes up front, with some rich coffee texture and flavor on the finish. Definitely more drinkable than Black Tuesday. | |
| Drank 650 ml of Black Butte XXIII by Deschutes Brewery (2011) | January 7th, 2014 |
2014-01-07 Not bad, lots of toast, coffee, malt, and bitter chocolate. Best aspect is that it's somewhat complex for the style and it still works. | |
| Drank 750 ml of Reuze by The Bruery (2012-09-06) | January 6th, 2014 |
2017-04-30 Amazing pucker, this beer held up wonderfully. Super refreshing. | |
2014-01-06 Very tart, almost flat, not bad but no funk. May have liked this one better fresh. | |
| Drank 650 ml of Firestone 15 - Anniversary Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2011) | January 2nd, 2014 |
2017-08-19 Tasting, somewhat surprisingly, a lot more oxidized than the 14. Expressed as more bitterness, less of a smooth blend. Not bad but hasn't held up extremely well. | |
2014-01-02 Delicious. Definitely more of a barleywine than some of the other anniversary blends, but has come along really nicely, with a great balance of malt and smooth roasty notes. Dig it. | |
2012-12-28 First tasting (December 2011) was silky and sweet with lots of vanilla and booziness. | |
