Chicago Stout Releases (2018)

And then?...

 

the ba smores stout at penrose is phenomenal. best smores beer ive had.

sweet but not cloying. you get smores on both the nose and taste, authentic not artificial. the marshmallow presence is insane.

 

I concur. Excellent beer. Hard to compare to S’more Luv/Henna 3 since it’s BA but has excellent mouthfeel and all expected flavors are present

 

what time were you there?

 

Popped in after the Bears game. Still a nice crowd all afternoon

 

ahhh alright, i was there at open for the first-halve. we really need to grab a pint soon..

 

Clb boathouse 4pcks are $26.99 at jewel, at least in crystal lake

 

Damn. I'll stick with the easily available Rev Tar at that price. I wanted to try these too. Oh well.

 

Really depends what youre after. To me tar is dark fruit dark chocolate where the boathouse regular is brownie batter and hot bourbon. Im sure itll mellow with time but i dont mind it right now. The rye whiskey i like less but i hate rye everything. Ive heard good things from people that like that though. The cafe deth is fuckin delicious though ill buy that at $30

 

Mornin' Delight on tap at Timothy O'Toole's in Streeterville.

 

Haw central waters bourbon barrel Barleywine hit stores?

 

It’s been sitting at my Binny’s in the west burbs for a couple months.

 

Yeah STC Binny’s has had it on the floor for some time now

 

Gonna be staying in the Buffalo Grove area for a few days after Xmas. Any recommendations on shops to hit in some of the surrounding burbs for BCBS variants? Know I might be paying a little extra if they’re still around now and I’m okay with that (to an extent). Also will be ISO Vanilla Deth if there’s any still out there or if it’s been distributed by then. Would love any recommendations on other things to keep an eye out for too. Pm me if you have any suggestions. Cheers!

 

Try searching beermenus!

 

Foremost liquors in Arlington Heights had orange, bramble, vanilla, and coffee on shelf at standard gouging prices as of yesterday. $37 each for stouts, $17 for coffee barley. On the shelf right above the $25 four packs of far superior deths tar and a few spots over from the $40 kbs bombers. This is not a joke.

 

Anyone try the Vlad Chocolate & Hazlenut yet?

PSA - anyone traveling to or around the OP area, Brass Tap has a ridiculous line up right now per Beer Menus. All BCBS from this year minus Prop, Reserve and MO, BCBBW 17, Vanilla Deth, Parabola, CBS, etc, etc.

 

A lot of us are off today with some windows of free time around errands and relaxing. If anyone sees something special on tap anywhere (bar or brewery) in the city or suburbs please share!
