    Firestone Walker Brewing Co. -- Something Stickee
    Central coast quad ale aged in rye whiskey barrels and orange bitters barrels with cocoa nibs
    ABV: 11.5%; pouring temperature: 50 °F; bottling info: 2023 Vintage №.01; BEER BEFORE GLORY
    Source: unknown (likely a local purchase)

    4.21/5 rDev -0.5%
    look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

    Pours a clear, medium brown tone, opaque in the glass; thin, khaki hued head that soon dissipates to a thin ring inside the glass with a few patches of foam floating in the middle of the ring. Big, rich aroma; an alluring blend of chocolate and cocoa with dried, dark pitted fruits; licorice. Sweet and somewhat earthy spice flavor; brown sugar and allspice; anise; raisins and orange; chewing tobacco; fine, boozy undercurrent, whiskey. Heavy body with a light sugary stickiness; subliminal alcohol warmth.

    This is quite the tasty barrel aged quadruple. The rye and orange bitters barrel aging certainly gives this beer a nice zingy extra to the malt base.

    Speaking of incredible, it's an incredible Fall day in New England - and Mike Portnoy reunited with Dream Theater! May as well celebrate that for Horns Up Friday. :grinning:

    One more at Good Word. Light The Candle German style Altbier 4.8% ABV. A collaboration with Wren House Brewing of AZ. Todd nailed this. Bready, nutty, balancing bitterness and a nice smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Well crafted!

    Howdy BAs!

    Big old yardwork day here, cleaning up after I removed some trees yesterday.

    This is one absolutely fantastic Nut Brown Ale, I think even better than Alesmith's.
