    Or maybe they didn't want to release it all at once?

    If it was bad, they would have dumped it. They've done it before, and will do it again.

    Just had a pour at the tap room and it didn't tate like assassin to me, much more dark roast coffee and dark chocolate to me where assassin was so much sweeter like a liquid brownie

    Well I was somewhat correct with the black on black. There's literally an SR71 on it too. [​IMG]

    I thought it was reminiscent of assassin but yes the flavors are a bit different. Could be longer aging but who knows. Was going to ask Clark but he stepped out.

    Then, how about a TG thread gets opened. I more excited to hear about Abrasive and Pinner then this TG nonsense.

    Pinner was one of my favorite sessions I've tried. NB Slow Ride was also incredibly surprising.

    So is this beer pretty much completely different than the SR-71 currently listed on BA under TG? I had that version at KBBS release in 2013 and I'm pretty sure it wasn't barrel aged and it was very very sweet and most of the people there agreed. Everyone was comparing it to Dark Lord.

    TGs Twitter said Zeelander and Tsunami was available today in taproom but that's no longer the case. Only Dorothy's and SR71 available when I was there 30 mins ago.


    Also, very excited about Pinner and Abrasive.

    Really? I've always really enjoyed NB's IPA/Pale offerings. Can't really think of one that sucked, besides Belgo (and I just don't like Belgian IPAs).

    I like a lot of their pales and IPAs, but I'm really picky with sessions. A lot of them end up too watery and bland. I thought Slow Ride was really good. At the time of my wedding, there was no better session than Go To in my mind. Since then, I've had about 3 or 4 I've liked more.

    I believe Clark went to get more.

    Clark had left to go get bottles when I left around 90 minutes ago.

    via Twitter - Happy's in Cedar Falls now has TG distribution!

    New shipment of Dorothy today.

    Apologies if you went from super excited to dead - but I'm sure there will be more options moving forward.

    Any Abrasive sightings in CR/IC area? We've seen Des Moines and Cedar Falls/Waterloo area so far on the board. Really hoping to pick some up!

    I like Go To, All Day, and Day Time in addition to Slow Ride. Can't say I've tried too many others.

    Pinner is awesome, Boat Beer is excellent when its fresh, Bikini Beer is the best 2.5% beer I've had, and I also like the Green Flash session beers they've put out (Citra, Mosaic, etc).

    I assume SR-71 is the last BA offering brewed by Mike then?
