The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Numero Seis from @smanson56! Stout, vanilla, cocoa, lady fingers- I know this beer.
*** full disclosure- my wife was grabbing bottles before I could open them, and this one she said “you’re splitting this with me”. So I knew it was going to be good.

 

Totally explains her excitement. We happened to be in Boston for this release back in May and she (and I) loved it then. Thanks so much for the revisit @smanson56 and a huge thanks for the 6 days! No kill shot due to traveling between 3 cities in the past couple days, but all of them were fantastic. You rock daddy-o!

 

Day 6 from @PA-Michigander

Another Want.- BA Dark Star.
Great way to finish out the 6.

 

Perfect night on the lake. Happy 4th @UcDru

 

Home from the 2nd pool party in two days... its a rough life I guess? Somehow we managed to drink a ton of frozen liquor drinks, knock back a sixtel of SeaQuench, and then break into the beers that we brought. Good day?

Anyway, onwards to Day 5 since I'm behind a day. Cork says Speciation so... its probably a Speciation beer. I think. Think is really nice and tropically (yeah, its a word).



Specialtion Facilitated Adaptation, solera sour ale aged in tequila barrels with pineapple and denali hops. Considering the tequila I was drinking earlier, this one is oddly fitting. The pineapple really comes through and this is overall a real treat to drink. Thanks @core42!

 

Here’s the kill shot of my 6 days from @valrxman .

 

And I’m glad I picked peaches!

 

Sadly, the 6er comes to an end, but with one hell of a bang! I had an idea what was in store. 12oz bottle, silver wax. Big stout with a fuckload of barrel. I knew (mostly) what it was as soon as I tried it:



Voodoo Black Magick aged in Willett barrels. I had the Rye barrel at Huna 2017, and the 4 Roses barrel at Huna 2018. I think this one might be a touch better than the 4 Roses IIRC. Thanks again for a stellar ride @dannyfayy !

 

Day 6 strong end to my 6 days of 'Merica



And the kill shot. Happy birthday America

 

Day 6 reveal and killshot. Have to thank @JNForsyth for a fantastic 6 days. Today’s Brett loves Mosaic tied for my favorite with Rum Betrayal. Cheers to a fantastic local!

 

Day #6 from @Devman171

Got back to the hotel late tonight after watching fireworks in Estes Park. Decided to open the caged and corked 750.



Poured out dark. Aroma was different, got a fruity aroma. Taste followed suit with the fruit. Tart cherry flavor. Not sure if that is intentional or not. No clue on this one. Would guess either a sour stout or an infected stout.



2016 Porter Baltique from Les Trois Mousquetaires. Aged in bourbon and brandy barrels. Definitely going with the infected porter on this one. Bummer, sounded like it could have been really good.

 

Shiiiit

 

Nice glassware too!

 

Day 6 and killshot from @mervmurry



Opened Day 6 last night, cork and caged 750ml, slightly fruit sour but I can't figure out what the fruit is for the life of me. Maybe Kiwi?

Wrong, Upland PawPaw. Damn tasty beer and good way to finish this out. Thanks for the great beer (and bourbon) Michael!

 

Forgot to post lunch Day 6 from @Bum4ever yesterday. Another Sante cap, could it be another Saison?



The new collab with Side Project! Thanks for an awesome Six Days Of Saison!

 

And here's the final tally from @Bum4ever ! Thanks again!

 

Day 6 from @rspauldi



Poured black with a nice bit of tan head. The nose is all hazelnut with a bit of whiskey barrel. On the palate all the hazelnuts. This has to be cycle hazelnut great way to finish this 6er!


Tissues out for the kill shot:



Thanks again Russ!

 

Day Six, so bittersweet.


It poured darker than expected and the nose had me thinking a dark sour. Someone said maybe Black Project based on that description. There was a nice balance between fruit, barrel and tartness.

Reveal:


@Jawnnm actually guessed the style based on picture and description.

I can't thank @Kramerbarthomer enough for an amazing Six Days of Summer. Final killshot will come later this evening.

Thanks for the tour of NY beers, Dustyn! All were new ticks and it was nice to revisit Plan Bee after a 3+ year hiatus.

 

Hi Locals. Damn it's been a minute since I've been on here.
