Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Scotch Ale by Central Waters Brewing Company (2017-07-18)March 7th, 2018

Holds up well but doesn't particularly benefit from ageing. Tastes the same as the 2018, which is to say excellent.

Different than any previous year I remember. Smells like straight up whiskey, tastes like burnt caramel. It's not unpleasant but doesn't have the malty sweet richness I love. It's fresh, though. Needs some time to settle.
Drank 12 oz of Anti-Hero by Revolution Brewing LLC (2018-01-16)March 6th, 2018
Drank 12 oz of Wisconsin Belgian Red by New Glarus Brewing Company (2017)March 6th, 2018

It's almost up there but doesn't maintain the smooth rich character it promised. Starts out like Silhouette and retains plenty of whiskey even though I've let it sit probably a year too long. Still, it drinks like 9% and I'd never complain about it.
Drank 12 oz of Plaid Panther by Hop Haus Brewing CompanyMarch 4th, 2018

Smoky. Caramely but not too sweet. Really drinkable at 8%. It's a win for the wee heavy.
Drank 375 ml of Supplication by Russian River Brewing Company (2016-06-07)March 2nd, 2018

Not much cherry. I think I liked the Sanctification better. Still a top shelf sour. I'll continue to grab these when I get the chance. Maybe not at $14 a bottle, though.

Solid porter.
Drank 375 ml of Track #10 by The Lost Abbey (2016)February 28th, 2018

Smoo hoo hooth. Smoother than anything I've ever tasted in this ABV tier. And rich! I barely noticed the coffee, I would have chalked it up to the roast in the malt if I hadn't taken another look at the bottle halfway through. Possibly because I let it sit for a year+. The chocolate dominates and I don't resent it one bit. Did I mention smooth? It's pricey at $14 but it's as good as any stout I've had. Thick thick and rich rich. I don't think I'll pass on this one if I see it again.

Has definitely hit its stride. Really nice right now.

Tasted a bit sour when cold, I was worried about infection but I don't think that was the case. Extremely yeasty. Tasted like a Belgian ale. Not sure what to think. I liked it better fresher when the bourbon was more prominent and I didn't noticed the yeast as much. I'm tempted to keep it a couple more years to see how it changes but I don't know...

No hint of the whiskey. Otherwise a good barleywine. Listed as "English Barleywine" but seemed very hoppy to me. Lots of sediment floating around marred the clear red liquid. Very pleasant to drink, just the right balance of sweetness. Shows the 11% abv, though. I don't recall my previous impression but I'm rather disappointed at the lack of barrel character in this bottle.

Much better than it was a month ago. Nice and buttery.
