Revolution Brewing (2021)

In your example used, I found a huge difference among the Easter Egg bottles of BCBS. Heaven Hill was like a glass of bourbon with a little BCBS splashed in. The Wild Turkey and Buffalo Trace were a bit more subdued in barrel character but still let the base beer shine. I’m holding onto a couple HH bottles to see what some time does but I feel like they were very hot fresh

 

Was enjoying reading about people favorites so far this year from the Deep Woods series.

Here's my list so far with a few yet to try.

1. Thundertaker- The rye is perfect and the barrels are so expressive yet smooth. Base stout has sooo much fudge. It really did bring the thunder! Perfect drinkablility, mouthfeel, and carbonation levels. It ticks all the boxes. Top 3 canned offering of Deep Woods series.

2. AB Ryeway- insane in every possible way. So much caramel, oak, and apple brandy. Hints of toffee to compliment the caramel notes. Crazy drinkable too. Perfect mouthfeel and carbonation levels. Top 5 "canned" offerings of Deep Woods series.

3. DB VSOD- Those Weller barrels are amazing. Lots and lots of fudgy stout goodness. Massive & expressive barrel notes yet so smooth for the extremely high abv? How in the heck did they do that? Oh wait...It's Revolution Deep Woods. Duh. Top 5 "canned" offerings of Deep Woods series.

4. Supermassive Cafe Deth- I have always love cafe deth. This had such good coffee it pretty much ruined me on Cafe Deth. Now I only want Supermassive!

5. Cherry Deth- Dark choclate covered cherries plus really smooth bourbon & layer oak notes... yes please! This is right up there with Cherry Rye BCBS as the best barrel aged cherry stout that I have ever drank!

6. Maple Deth- While a bit overly sweet, I think that the blend was still well balanced between Deth, the barrel, and the maple.

7. Mixed berry ryeway- would have like more ryeway witha berry compliment. This was like a mixed berry lambic (that was on the sweeter side as far as lambic goes) with rye as a malt component. Still loved how drinkable this was like so many Rev Deep Woods offerings.

8. Honey jacket batch 2. Sadly was just way too sweet. Batch 1 was so much better because it was a drier barelywine thread that paired flawlessly with the honey. Thinking of blending a 2019 SJ with a honey jacket batch 2 to balance the sweetness.

Still yet to try- Mindshaft & On and On part 1.

 

We're live with the wrestling glass. I promised this baby would sell, so please don't make a liar out of me!

How about a comfy T-shirt instead?

 

Done and Done!

 

Have you tried selling it with a complementary can of Thundertaker?

 

Good way to get me to order 40 glasses!!!

 

Go into my garage pile of beer to get and revisit Thundertaker after seeing all the love again here lately (I wasn't wowed by it initially...or in subsequent takes). Accidentally grabbed and opened a Ryeway instead. Me pouring it into the glass...

 

<-Doesn't have a thundertaker but wants one.

 

Just think of the Rev Rewards points....

 

Speaking of Rev Rewards, according to their newsletter this morning, there will be a hiatus on Rev Points started on the 15th until...?

The merch store got stacked with some pretty sweet stuff. I'm digging that new Freedom glassware.

 

Easy enough to copy and paste what was in the email newsletter:

"We are transitioning to a new restaurant point of sale and management system to make sure you have an overall better guest experience with us down line. To successfully switch to the new platform there will be a temporary hiatus on all Rev Rewards activity starting Monday, February 15th. More details soon."

 

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?

 

Cuvee de Grace crowlers for sale on the Rev site.

 

Oh, hello there.......

Excellent! Let's hope this isn't a trick like Goose uses to throw everyone off the scent of actual BCS variants.

 

Seriously, just give us one massive, over the top, pastry stout deep woods release. Like a Deth Tar Fruit punch with 5 fruit types or a choco-vanilla-coffee-prune barlewyine stout blend....We know you guys do what you do well, just maybe try sneaking the ferrari out of the house and opening it up on the highway late at night to see what it can do.

 

Because details matter and a simple copy-and-paste doesn't leave people wondering why the program is on hiatus?

 

Finally have had all of the Deep Woods releases from this past season. As others have said, it was a great year in total. Everything was at least a 4 or better in my view. So it's pretty much splitting hairs to rank these out. The groups are ranked, but within the group is basically equal.
