| Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout by Central Waters Brewing Company (2016-11-14) | November 22nd, 2016 |
2017-02-07 I like this vintage a little cooler. Surprisingly, that's where the barrel character comes to the fore. Less distinct and balanced as it warms. I experienced something similar with the BA Silhouette, so maybe it's my palate changing with all the big beers I've been drinking this winter. Really good when it's good, at those lower temps. Not refrigerator cold, but cooler than I typically drink by high gravity beers. | |
2016-11-22 Kind of a mess right now, honestly. Boozy, harsh and thin. Carbonation overwhelms. Nice vanilla flavors but way too fresh at 8 days old. Should be nice later, though. | |
| Drank 22 oz of Blaecorn Unidragon by Clown Shoes (2015-10-28) | November 21st, 2016 |
2016-11-21 It's a pretty good RIS. Not great, though. I sat on it for a full year and I just don't think it has the depth I want. And at 12% abv, simply doesn't stand up to other options. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Celebration Ale by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. (2016-10-13) | November 21st, 2016 |
2016-11-17 I remember loving this a couple years ago. Now it's meh. I need to back off the ABVs but that's where the flavor is. | |
| Drank 25 oz of Raspberry Tart by New Glarus Brewing Company | November 20th, 2016 |
| Drank 22 oz of The Czar by Avery Brewing Company (2015-11) | November 20th, 2016 |
2016-11-20 Great RIS. Roasty and dark and heavy. Smells a bit smoky. Worthwhile and reasonably priced. But nothing has surpassed Bell's Expedition Stout for me in the non-barrel-aged category. | |

| Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Scotch Ale by Central Waters Brewing Company (2016) | November 16th, 2016 |
| Drank 12 oz of Puff by Sixpoint Craft Ales | November 15th, 2016 |
2016-11-15 After four cans I'm ready to make my decision. I'm putting this in the category of don't drink again, not that good. Alcohol shows up way too much. I've had plenty of 9-10% IIPAs that weren't this sweet. Malt is way out of balance. The hop profile is pretty good, pleasantly bitter with musty, earthy, floral flavors. Great aroma and otherwise enjoyable but not worth the price or the alcohol. I'll take a NvU any day. Same price, more beer, less alcohol. | |

| Drank 330 ml of Adam - Old World Ale by Brouweij De Molen / Hair of the Dog (2015-07-21) | November 13th, 2016 |
2016-11-13 Spicy and burnt. Reminds me of Scotty Karate but tastes like brown sugar at the end. Would love to have more of this but $9 for 33cl is too much. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout by North Coast Brewing Co. (2015-12-21) | November 11th, 2016 |
2016-11-11 Not sure about this experiment of aging Rasputin. Doesn't seem to gain anything from the time, definitely loses something. Kind of just tastes like cold Postum right now. Shouldn't be surprising, considering the ingredients of each brew. Also reminds me of old Guinness Extra Stout. Two beers that shouldn't be aged, apparently. One bottle left, will see if anything changes. | |
