Barrel-Aged Fridays

Sounds like a good excuse to open this...cheers!

 

just got one in trade..can't wait to crack it open

 

Jelly. Never can seem to find bottles of this in my travels. A friend shared a bottle once and I've had on tap several times, but I never have found a bottle of my own. It eludes me.

This sounds great. What beers did they blend?

 

Dark Apparition and Wood-Ya Honey

 

Went with a Pirate Bomb! Hot damn this is so good. Smell alone makes me smile. Each sip is so rich and complex and balanced, so I will be savoring this one slowly on a happy BA Friday indeed!

 

Just had that myself. Very well done beer

 

I did a comparison of 2 apricot Sours tonight. Both aged in wine barrels with apricots. I think the Almanac beer is far superior. Their Brett library is fantastic. It smalls and tastes like peach, apricot, stone fruit and tropical citrus. They are really killing it in the sour department.


This Captain Lawrence is good but doesn't hold a candle to the Almanac IMO. I blended them together after the review and the blend was magical.

 

Double post with WBAYDN. Enjoying this beauty in honor of landing an unexpected Parabola today at my local shop!



Bourbon, dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee. Silky smooth and creamy. Delicious.

 

I know this will upset you but I picked up 5 bottles today. My avatar is from today's haul. I love living in California

 

I had been trying to track one of these down for months until I finally got one as an extra in a trade out of nowhere. Delicious stuff.

 

On a roll with the BA beers today. Gotta drink down this cellar and fridge by the end of June. 2013 Abyss:

 

Not mad at all. To the victors go the spoils.

What beer is this?

 

Southern Star Black Crack. Apologize for photo quality.

 

Oh nice. How was that? That's one I need to try some day.

 

It's got a special place in my heart, because canned BB stouts are hard to come by, and it totally exceeded my expectations when I first had it. That said, not a ton of barrel or heat with this one, sweet without being overly sweet, lots of vanilla. Made in Texas, so should be easier for you to come by than me. Kind of a weird status for me, because it'd be hard to gauge a trade for it, but I'm always hyped to see it as an extra.

 

BA Dark App and Woodya Honey

 

I had a New Holland Dragon's Milk Triple Mashed tonight. Not as good as I remember the first bottle being - really nice bourbon flavor without being too hot, but the stout itself was lacking.

I think I'll be celebrating Barrel Aged Saturday tomorrow!

 

KBS on draft at the Holy Grail in Laconia. Sweet night.

 

Drank an Avery Vanilla Bean Stout tonight. No pics. But it was excellent.

 

I like this one, pretty tasty.
