Day 1, Tree House- Dragonfruit and Hibiscus Tart. Super light and easy drinking, especially on a hot day @mstagnone
Day 2, House of Fermentology- Green Dot. Reminded me of some Oxbow saisons, but even better. Light, crisp, easy drinkin. Really enjoyed this one and this style @mstagnone
Missed day 5 but here is day 6 Rich, creamy stout with habaneros and something strange on the finish. Not sure what this is. It's chillies not habaneros. Lactose adds to the creaminess. I think the cassia is the flavor on the finish. If it is I could go without it. Thanks @CBrodbeck
Kill shot of the summer 6er thanks to @CBrodbeck. All new ticks and a few new breweries. Day 1 to 6 is left to right.
Day 3, OH- Brocolli Kong. Day 4, Tree House-Stardust. Silky smooth, but didnt get all the listed notes. Day 5, River Roost- Rhythm of the Night (B2). Really solid barrel notes on this one. Day 6, HF- Damon. So smooth, with nice barrel notes. Ended the summer 6er with a bang! The kill shot. Really enjoyed the variety of beers. All new ticks and two new breweries. Thanks @mstagnone
D5 from @Tifore combined the things I like the most in a stout: nilla, coconut and rum barrel: Guessing this was not a coincidence but rather some diligent Untappd research from Tyler, as this Jackie O's coconut and vanilla Oil of Aphrodite hit the bull's eye for me. Outstanding treat, thank you Tyler!
Day 6...an excellent stout from Other Half and Equilibrium from @beatjunkee Thanks Con for an excellent 6 days of all new ticks and some new brewery ticks too!
On the last day of this awesomeness @Tifore lined-up two cans to be consumed side by side. Both were coconut stouts, and while the first one was good, the second one was superb with oily coconut goodness: Dancing Gnome Dead Sleep and Masthead BBA Coconut Underverse, excellent pairing and a worthy finish to a great 6 day run. Many thanks Tyler, it was an awesome run!
Day 5 from @Bstagnone ended up being two huge wants. Beer 5A from is a big coffee stout. This one is pretty thick and smooth with smooth coffee. There is also some roast, caramel, and dark Chocolate. I was thinking double shot and I was right. What a great beer and a huge want. Beer 5B. This poured thicker than 5A but seems to also be a rich coffee stout with extra roast, extra dark chocolate, and extra coffee. Seems a little bigger too. This was damn good and even better than Double Shot. I was thinking this is Triple Shot and I was also right. Wow! Never thought I’d get to try this one! Thanks @Bstagnone
Day 6 from @Bstagnone. This one pours thinner and lighter than those Tree House Stouts from the last couple of days. Taste is great, reminiscent of something like Parabola with lots of coconut and vanilla from the barrel as well as caramel, chocolate, and bourbon. I’m thinking this is a lower alcohol (10%ish) bourbon barrel aged stout w/o adjuncts but I have no idea on which one. Whoa. Stoneface 2018 RIS. I have never even heard of this one but it is really good. Like really damn good considering sub 10% ABV BA Stouts seem to drink a little too light. This one manages to strike a great balance with really awesome Barrel character. Kill shot of my 6’er. Thanks @Bstagnone! This was an amazing lineup of beer. Some amazing new ticks, new brewery ticks, and some great revisits. Cheers!
Final look at the Newbie Summer Sixer Treehouse box from @Joenap419 I was obviously bad at posting the daily pics but my vacation buzz got in the way of that. My typical blind post was something like “Pretty sure this is TH hops/stout, it’s really awesome” and then I would reveal. Thanks for the tasty brews and new ticks Joe!
Final Summer Sixer line-up from @Tifore, wrapped bottles and chugs minus the extras which I haven't cracked yet. Last six days were an adjunct stout galore, with a lot of nilla and coconut, intertwined with fruited sours. A bunch of wants in this line-up and all new ticks. Very tasty line-up, it was clear you researched my preferred styles and just nailed it, thank you Tyler!
Day 4a and 4b from @Steban - Azalea from Brewery Bhavana and Ain't It Wild (Burial/Alvarado Street Collab)
