What beer are you drinking now? #28

OUDE TART OR SMOKING WOOD RYE???????

 

Never had this, but the thought of it excites me as much as a teenage girl watching Magic Mike.

 

Oude Tart. I wish I had more sours in the fridge.

 

My sentiments exactly! LOVE that beer and glad it was a little easier to get this year.

 

About to open my first ever Backwoods Bastard, can't wait to try it!

 

Victory beer in a Yards glass. Blasphemy!



Real nice rendition of a black ipa, especially given its freshness. Bottled 10/30.

 

Make sure you're sitting down. It's a knee-trembler.

 

Some Old Rasputin, a damn fine ale.

 

Black Boss Porter - BOSS Browar Witnica S.A.
and
Zywiec Porter - Zywiec Breweries PLC (Heineken)

Both are Polish Baltic Porters... Coming from the guy who digs American and Belgian I/IIPA's, I found them to be quite... er, um, yeah... "good for the style". Although Zywiec rates better on BA, I personally liked the taste of Black Boss more. These two beers are enough for the entire evening for me as they are both considerably strong at 9.5% for Zywiec and 9.4% for Black Boss.

Very potent roasted maltiness, with some burnt dark frutiness and molasses/caramel, they are pretty good beers and leave a really bready residue in my mouth... *good?* I don't know, but not deplorable, haha... I'm content for the time being.

 

Had a couple new (and good) brews tonight:

 

Adding this to my wants list now... Since Halloween, I've been craving Reece's Peanut Butter Cups because I didn't have any. This sounds like a way better alternative. I may fall victim to drinking this instead.

 

7eventh Sun Graffiti Orange Creamsicle Wheat. Like whoa!

 

Just got back from FoBAB, 1st session. Had:

Bear Republic Cuvee de Bubba (using wild yeast cultures from around the brewery)
Bell's BA Batch 9000
Bell's Raspberry Wild One
Destihl St. Dekkera Reserve Sour Hawaii Ale
Flat 12 Mustache Ride Red
Goose Island Fertile Crescent (wheatwine in an EC18 barrel)
Haymarket Clare's Thirsty Ale (raspberry bourbon BA imp. stout)
Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Wild Gooze (aged in Pinot Noir barrels for 18 months with blackberries, blended with Sonoma saison)
Lost Abbey Track #9 (aged in bourbon and red wine barrels with cherries and currants)
Perennial Abraxas aged in rye whiskey barrels
Pipeworks BA Sour Smoked Porter
Revolution Straight Jacket (bourbon BA Institutionalized barleywine)
Stone Suitable for Cave Aging (imp. smoked porter in bourbon barrel)
Sun King Pappy Fog (quad in PVW barrels)
Sun King Pappy Van Muckle (wee heavy in PVW barrels)

I am quite inebriated.

 

Having a couple New Glarus Two Women while enjoying a nice Saturday night at home...so tasty

 

Might still be a bit cold. Poured with a decent head but it fizzled pretty aggressively and disappeared like a ninja in the night

 

Letting review #400 breathe for the moment:



Trust me, this low quality cell phone photo doesn't do a thing to capture the beauty of this beer. It's gorgeous.

 

Drinkin' me a homebrewed APA, thinking about what's next...

 

Oh man, DO want!! I can't find any info about it though =(

 

I found the non-BA version to be quite a bit better than the BA version!
