    Cracked On & On tonight.

    This gives me adult chocolate milk vibes; vanilla & chocolate flavors, with mild oak notes and no booze. It's not super thick, but it is creamy, if that makes sense.

    Dangerously drinkable, and damn good.

    I had AB Ryeway tonight. It’s very very good, though, if I had to choose, I prefer regular ryeway. It has a nice apple presence that isn’t overpowering, and the mouthfeel is great, but overall its a little sweeter than the regular, which I don’t quite like as much. Still, really good. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever had a beer that pours like this. It literally looks like motor oil when you pour it, with that same viscosity and no head, and then all of a sudden the head starts to build and build. Wild.

    Agreed with the pour, the carbonation seems to really take it's time releasing. I think I'm feeling this beer though, more than Ryeway. The career caramelized sugar/toffee and baked apple really goes well with the rye, almost cinnamon, spice. I wish I had more than the four pack, this is one of my favorite Rev beers of recent releases.

    Idk why you'd fuck up one beer (AB Ryeway) to make a mediocre cuvee.

    Deth’s Tar 2020 is just everything I love about a straight up BA stout. Hopefully I stumble upon a 4 pack sooner than later, because my remaining 3 cans just aren't gonna cut it. Stupid Meijer endcap has been a bust this year.

    Not to dampen your hopes but Deth Tar this year went quicker than years past. Was a solid batch this year obviously...

    I would think you would be able to find some without too much trouble if you make a few phone calls. Binny's website says they have it in stock in Bloomington. My buddy who lives near there said they got quite a bit of Tar / Cafe / Ryeway this year.

    Whole Foods in Vernon Hills had Deth's Tar, Cafe Deth, and Deth by Cherries in their cooler as of yesterday. They also had it the week before.

    Got a Liquid Gold collection. I thought I missed out on the releases but had a chance to grab some (I don’t live near the city at all.)

    AB Ryeway...I don’t know what I expected but I agree with what was previously posted. It pours almost like motor oil and the head comes on late. It’s thick and sweet but not overly. Probably one of my favorites this year

    can’t wait to try On & On. Also like the glass it came with quite a bit

    oddly, regular DT might be my least favorite this year. It’s good but I prefer Cherries and Cafe over it

    SJ is almost always my favorite and this year is no different.
