    Hi all you sexy BA's! I've just got a couple of beers in the post woot woot & I'm enjoying a quick Undercurrent Oatmeal Pale Ale. I love the artwork on this bottle so I got a good snap of it!

    I contemplated posting this one because it was such a big disappointment and I had it several days ago. I'm a big fan of FFF D/I/PA and was really looking forward to their much talked about Dark Lord. As someone said, it's a diabetes bomb, but there's something else to it that undoubtedly was influenced by my ethnic background...to me, it tasted almost like watered down soy sauce with a lot of sugar in it. The only saving grace was how well the 15% alcohol was masked. Sorry folks, the feather ruffling was not on purpose. It's a 2012 DL, by the way.

    FWIW, the friend I shared this with gave it 4.5 out of 5 and he really liked it. We are no longer friends. :grinning:

    Cheers!

    Enjoying this fridge find while grilling some wings for lunch later.

    As a baseball fan, I always dreamed of being a member of the '500 Club'. Thanks BA for making it happen.
    Cheers to all the inductees today on this milestone thread!

    Either people like it or hate it, seems to be no in between.

    Thanks! It's the glass that Goose served the Rare in for the Black Friday release. I wish I could have procured more, but they sold out quickly.

    Agreed! I was going to add that to the original post after checking out the reviews. Very few beers are like that.

    Some years are better than others, but in general it's a beer I can't touch with less than three years on it. After that, the over the top sugar mellows, and it becomes more balanced. Personally I wish it all went into barrels. Those are much more drinkable fresh and taste a lot less sweet.

    An interesting "pale" take on the Altbier style.

    Well done, pleasant taste, but nothing that would draw me back to it.

    North Country Firehouse Red - best two things about this beer: 1. portion of proceeds go to local fire company, 2. nearly all gone.
