Well, they’re trying to find a solution I like food trucks, but I also like eating inside in the winter
I just had an amburana BA stout for the first time and it was kind of ass. It’s a very prominent and pretty weird tasting barrel.
If it is anything like the FW Paramburana, the amburana wood will impart a very strong cinnamon aroma & flavor on its own that will become the prominent note. And this Truth variant will also have cinnamon, so maybe it will seem like too much?
Cinnamon for sure, but something else I can’t quite describe. Kind of smoky / burnt / bitter? And very strong. Some people may like it but I found it pretty off putting.
Interesting. I had a barleywine aged in amburana and it was good. Definitely wouldn’t pay $60 on speculation tho
Can anybody comment on whether Woodstock is worth a visit in the wintertime? It looks idyllic during the warmer seasons - but what's the vibe like when the outdoor spaces aren't available?
It can be hit or miss due to how small the interior is. I was unfortunate enough to go one weekend where about half of the tables were secured for a catered what looked like kids party.
I agree with the strong burnt bitterness part. I got used to it later into the glass, but it was a real shock at first.
I drove from Dracut to the bowling alley in Tewksbury about two hours ago with no issues. Main roads, which TH is on, all seem fine.
I bought a selection when I was in Saratoga last week. Can’t say I saw this was in the mix, I have had it before, but still nice…
Drinking a hazy pale ale Pretty good But I’m not sure I’m skilled or knowledgeable enough to draw the line between this and a lower ABV hazy IPA is it what the brewer decides or is it the quantity of hops they add? Maybe for Tree House this would be a pale ale, but other brewers might call this an IPA
I think it's one of those things we'll never really know. It's like with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. A lot of people would call that an IPA. Generally it's the ABV. Anything <6% falls into Pale Ale range. But there are plenty of "IPA's" below 6%. And there are "Pale Ales" greater than 6%. Basically, who knows?
If they sold a full set of all the Truth variants as nips (2 to 4oz), I'd pay a premium over the cost per oz in 750s for them. But 750s of 17+% abv stouts are a hard pass from me. Its unfortunate because I really enjoy their stouts, but I don't do beer shares anymore and never have an opportunity to open a huge beer like that.
Yop. Forget slices of pie, I'd be down for slices of Truth. It would be great if they did bottle pours on the weekend, or complete flights for the tickers...
I don't understand the size formats. Offer it in 12oz and 750ml. They've had plenty of Truth releases in 500ml as well (I know I bought vanilla truth in a 500ml). Why does there only have to be one option?
