I just found Oskar Blues Ten Fidy on tap! Thanks for the recommendations above. Once I found it I had to try it.

It is 4:15pm on a Monday and it's time to order my second one. It's a late working lunch.

 

 

OK guys, I got got one for those who don't mind a stout that you could cut with a steak knife. What a beast!

"Vicious and viscous, this menacing brew pours opaque black with a creamy maduro-colored head. Its aroma offers seductive whiskey, chewy red wine, dark fruit and lavish tobacco. Berserker Imperial Stout invades your taste buds with in-your-face flavor. Weighing in at almost 13% alcohol by volume, Berserker is completely out-of-control. Give it a good fight.

This version of Berserker Imperial Stout was aged in oak bourbon barrels. The entire batch was transferred from oak into a stainless tank before being filtered, carbonated and packaged in kegs and 22-oz bottles."

 

Do want.

 

that sounds like a magnificent beer to sit by the fire with.


with which to sit by the fire.

 

I found it at my local Whole Foods market. I don't know if they 'd have them that far east, but it's well worth a look.

Indeed it would be. It's an exquisite sipper.

 

Tonight's beer.

 

Wife picked up a couple bottles for me yesterday in Baton Rouge.

 

my wife went to trader joe's today and bought two of those as well. good ol unibroue.

 

Ya'll need to cellar them bitches.

 

Who cellars a $5 trader joe's beer?

I cellar it in my abdomen.

 

Actually it ages quite well. The 2012s are just starting to get really good. At $5/btl its a great low investment way to learn a bit more about how beer works, and what age can do for something. Get 3~4 bottles and put it in a box in the back of your closet and forget about it until you add more bottles the next year. Then its vertical tasting time.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!





I'll drink it today because the monks figured out how to make it in 1040.

 

Doing a flight. Black beer Friday at Brew Hub.







Bolita, Imperial Doughnut Break, Toasted Coconut Porter, Backwoods Bastard

 

Backwoods bastard just might be my favorite beer ever... Have a clean palate before for disrespect it please.

 

That's the one I had first.

 

You made a great decision on that being first. Thank you.
What were your thoughts?

 

It was good and relatively complex and aromatic.

 

I've never bought it in large quantity, just had it by tje bottle here and there at a few special local microbrew bars. A friend of mine saw it at a somewhat local beer distributor, said it was a $90 case of beer. I was a little shocked at that.
I know Backwoods Bastard is supposed to be their Dirty Bastard scotch ale, but aged in bourbon barrels. I assume the aging process would create the need for the high price.

 

It was pretty much the same price as the others that were on tap.
