Revolution Brewing (2020)

This might be heresy here, but I tried a Deth by Cherries tonight and it was good but not great. Seemed undercarbed and had a bit of the dreaded cough syrup tones. I have a 4-pack so will give it another try but so far glad I didn't buy more.

 

A live look at @randjuke

 

This truly makes me wonder if there is “batch” variation (by can batches). The 3 cans I’ve had (opened my 3rd tonight after you posted) literally have no resemblance to to SJ. I think I got the dregs in this pack.

Edit: and please, everyone keep in mind my fupa status.

 

What was the date on the can you opened tonight? Curious if it's different from mine...

Mine: 11-04-2020, 15:06:24.

We can probably blame the variance on my garbage palate.

 

You have one of the greatest avatars on BA (it still makes me chuckle every time I see it), I would never negatively judge your palate.

 

For what it is worth, my first two cans of Cherries have been the most carbed DW offering yet, almost to a negative degree. I would have preferred it undercarbed by comparison. Thought the cherry flavors to my palate were the best done in a stout and on par with Ten Year for a fantastic sweet and tart blend of cherry. My main issue was that the barrel seemed too muted compared to what I am accustomed to with DW. Still an above average offering in this crowded stout season.

 

Interesting. I don't know enough about how Cherries is produced to know how much batch variation is possible. I thought the cherry flavor was on the sweet side with a little medicinal tint, and as I said the carbonation was a little flat. It wasn't bad, it was actually pretty good, but I was prepared to be blown away and it just wasn't there.

 

Pour it into a glass, let it sit, come back to it in an hour and let us know how the cherry tastes.

 

These beers come from a single blend in a single brite tank and all get canned within an hour to a few hours of each other depending on the scale (Deth’s Tar vs Honey). Store Cold.

 

While you all argue about the nuances of deth by cherries I sit here with a fridge of deep woods with a total lack of smell from covid.

Happened to find some 2011 bourbon county stout from my move six years ago as i quarentine cleaned my furnace room.

I feel like Im in the twilight zone and I broke my glasses

 

If you still had some 2015 Bourbon County around this would be the perfect time. Seriously I hope you feel better soon.

 

DESTROYED BY THE EMPIRE CROWLER
After four years in heavily toasted Woodford Double Oaked barrels, this micro-lot of Deth's Tar Imperial Oatmeal Stout hits the palate like an oaky superlaser blast from the vacuous ether. Each sip starts as a wave of concentrated malt-derived chocolate and graham before rapidly yielding to a lumberous overlord cloaked in cherry & vanilla. 15.6% ABV

lol. Can't wait to solo dome this. @GuyFawkes Want to do a podcast together this time?

 

Fight club is up and running.

 

Pre-sale emails went at 8:30 this morning.

 

I did not make the mistake of passing on this one. If you need a "special" guest for the podcast, hit me up.
