Chicago Stout Releases (2019)

Anyone else get a (not unpleasant) peanut butter aftertaste from Indignant 37 mo?

 

That's just because you're a 'sweet' kinda guy!

 

May try Saturday. 12 month was excellent but felt unexpected high and inside heat in the coffee pour (aroma taste and mouth feel / after taste).

Heading to Fulton for triple barrel action.

 

Looks like Twisted Hippo is open. Any good stouts?

 

50% of their menu looked like dark beers.

 

Any word on who will be going into that space after them?

 

FYI - Delirium Black Barrel Aged is on at map room. Not a stout, but it’s pretty tasty. Having that and an Abt 12 and wondering if I’ve made a mistake spending too much time on hype beers...

 

I mean, sometimes. But yeah, no regrets. Belgians in the morning? I smell a nap. And oddly humorous posts. Not necessarily in that order.

Waking up to 6 inches of snow, and it's still coming, has me wondering what barrel aged goodness I'll be drinking today...

 

Ha - late post. Those were from last night. It is snowing here, too, so I think my future holds a dark beer and a nap for sure.

 

I remember (or more to the point, don't remember) going a few years ago and it was $15 for five 5 oz pours of BA indignant. It destroyed me. I ate McDonald's for the first time in a decade at Union to try to keep it together. But worth it.

 

I had the 12 and 37 month Indignants yesterday, really enjoyed them. 12 is just a really solid BA stout, and 37 is really interesting. It's less wine-forward (seeming) than the 32 was last year, I think.

I was pumped for the chocolate mint version, but didn't enjoy it nearly as much. It was mostly mint, and could've used more sweetness.

 

also, I prepurchased 2 cans of Clare's, but bought two more at Haymarket to make it an even 4-pack, because I'm a sucker.

 

Yeh I really liked the 37 month. Thought it was very smooth and the type of beer that could get me in trouble if I wasn’t paying attention.

 

You could buy 2 more Clare’s today (for a total of 6) due to a “higher than expected yield”. We should note that the beer never sold out on BPT which would be a more accurate reason as to why you could buy 6. I stuck with my 4 and will crack one tonight

 

haha yep. I will say at 1pm there was a nice lunch/release crowd there so it looked like a good event day. Just no line for can pickups at that point.

 

My first can was really tasty (although I really hate that word ... and cheek, panties, nipples, and creamy ... I hate all those words too).

 

It’s really good. Probably better than Bramble and on par with a Deth by Currants for me. Guess this means a 3 Way showdown is needed!
