    Just popped a ‘15 Ryeway, and have to say it is awesome still. Has that nice Carmel flavor, and very smooth subtle bourbon.

    Deep woods mystery box...

    Edit: If this site wasn’t impossible, you would see Brad Pitt asking about a box

    Oh...I'll never tell...
    No, really...some may NOT want to know. I'll just say that based on retail cost, it is a DEAL!
    (PM me and I'll tell you what I got today)

    Yeah - got those too. But what about the swag that is retail $28 - nice deal!

    No shade at all, I like the beers I got!

    Personally, I'd never buy the leather coasters or the magnets that came with them...but I sure as hell want to support Revolution right now. I'd buy again without hesitation!

    So VERY happy they are still available! RW and SJ and DT have been sitting in a cart on my computer and the Mystery Box (along with the weather) got me to pull the trigger yesterday. I picked it all up today and it was super easy - THANKS REV!
    Of course, the ZOOM call tonight with @BeerCruncher and team was super informative.
    Revolution loves the idea of summer barleywines -- they will be doing a couple releases between now and the fall and one is an 18mo old Ryeway with mixed berries (cranberry, raspberry, blackberry, and another I didn't catch since I had been drinking some Deep Wood beers...)
    This summer also look for Super Massive Cafe Deth. The Super Massive was available as a variant at the Cafe Deth release (and another I think) - the notes I took tonight:
    Super Massive Cafe Deth - Cafe Deth with 10lbs of coffee per Oak Barrel!! Gonna be SUPER caffeinated - like Cafe Deth squared. "Gobs of coffee".
    BUT it will be like an IPA - DRINK FRESH!!! Get it in the fridge and drink them right away.
    Side note...Yeah - I'm a 50yr old Van Halen fan and total Rev fan boy, which @stevegoz, @tiffman and @flat_lander can attest. CHEERS! #BeerNerd #StayHealthy

    Stoked to use this for the first time:

    [​IMG]

    Appearance: Pitch black pour. Creamy rich tan head leaves generous lacing (I poured my cup into a snifter). 4.5

    Aroma:
    Very strong roast coffee aroma. 4.25

    Taste:
    Strong, rich, slightly bitter coffee taste, whiskey emerges as this warms, well blended. Vanilla and toffee back. Excellent! 4.75

    Mouthfeel:
    Very rich and creamy body, faint carbonation, silky smooth. 4.75

    Overall:
    Excellent pour! 4.5

    Hope to be drinking this at the brewery and home!

    We are all adults here, I won't disparage your preferences whether beer or other.

    Random question, but is Straight Jacket still on the shelves at places like Binny's or available at the brewery? Places in Boston are all sold out and I was thinking of trying to find someone in the Chicago area who would be willing to grab some and ship as part of a trade but wanted to ask first if it was even still available? Thank you!
