The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Booooo... that bottle was fresh from the brewery the week I mailed it to you @mervmurry. Sorry dude!

 

Day 3 from @smanson56 by the campfire... tastes very apple brandy, which I love.

 

You can test it to make sure I’m not crazy

 

No worries! It happens!

 

This is delicious! El Lechedor from Night Shift! Thanks so much @smanson56!

 

Day 4 from @PassMeAZima. Caged and corked. All I can tell is that it's a sour. I'm not tasting any adjuncts.



Casey - Nectarine Fruit Stand. Now that I know what it is, I catch faint hints of nectarine. It's a bit too sour for my tastes, but there's more fruit and less sour as it warms up. Another new tick that I'm glad to have tried.

 

On the fourth dat of Stoutmas... @campa86 gave to me...



A beer with an amazing nose...this thing smells amazing. Tastes great too. Loads of coffee and barrel. No clue what it is...but it's dope!



Another great choice and a new tick! Thanks Campa!

 

Day 4 from @PA-Michigander

Very smooth easy drinking sour for day 4. Maybe barrel, not sure on fruit.

Nonna's Blend from SARA. Very easy drinking and enjoyable. That's been the case with everything I've been able to try from them.
Thanks Nick.

 

@robgage i apologize for not posting. I am a slacker...

Day 2. A fantastic smooth and sweet stout. Great barrel! Love this one.



A rare 5.0 from me. Black Magick. A long time want. This one in 4R barrels.

 

And day 3 brings a another smooth sweet stout. Slightly sweeter than day 2 but very similar. Silver wax. Maybe a different variant?



Was right. Black Magick in Willett Barrels. Another awesome beer. What a great first 3 days.



I nominate @robgage for best box

 

Went back and looked this was a 2016 El Cat bottle. Glad it worked out and ended up being a new tick for ya!

 

Untied the wrapping to a black cap, no wax, no markings. So not much help there.



Poured a black color with caramel legs. Nose is huge coffee, taste is massive, MASSIVE maple. With a huge body, this beer is chewy af.



Transient Canuckley, Imperial Stout with vanilla, maple syrup and coffee aged in BLIS maple syrup bourbon barrels for 12 months. Hot damn! I think @core42 is trying to single-handledly show me why Michigan beer is awesome.

 

On to tonight's bottle. Another similar bottle. Little more bitter than the last 2, maybe whiskey Barrels?



Got the whiskey right, but totally different beer. Freaking awesome! Зангиеф

 

Day 4 from @valrxman was definitely a saison from SARA. I wasn’t sure if there was any fruit or if it was just really bright and juicy.



Turns out it was Nonna’s Blend 14. Absolutely love this!

 

Tardy day 3 reveal - sorry about that @JNForsyth - this was fantastic

 

Day 4 thanks to @rspauldi



This pours jet black nose is dark fruit, chocolate and some sweetness. On the palate big dark roast up front, bitter dark chocolate and finished is a bit sweet almost fruity. This is an Imperial stout maybe wine barrel aged. 500 ml bottle could be a smog city infinite wishes red wine variant so I'll go with that.

Reveal:



Brash Nobility. Apple brandy/peach brandy are the barrels makes sense as to why I was picking up fruit. New beer to me and I'm digging it.

All caught up now and ready for day 5 and 6 to come. Thanks again Russ!

 

Day 4

 

Day #4 f at Omaha @Devman171



Cap gave away the brewery. The poor and aroma tells me it's a stout with a good amount of coffee. Taste confirms. Cold there is a lot of coffee. As it warms I'm getting hints of barrel aging, guessing whiskey.

Based on the brewery, im going with barrel aged Rise Up.



Pretty close. Bourbon instead of whiskey. The added coffee aging explains the strong coffee when it was cold.

Thanks Devin.

 

Damn, where is that edit button...

Meant to say " courtesy of ", not that fat Omaha shit that came from auto correction.
