    ...good medical news in the BeerGoot household for man and beast: yesterday I got a clean bill of health for skin cancer and, today, Oscar was essentially cleared by his vet for possible rabies with his fight with a raccoon about 10 days ago...time to celebrate...!!!...

    Rhinegeist Brewery -- Bourbon Barrel Aged Night Whale
    Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels
    ABV: 15.0%; pouring temperature: 55.4 °F; bottling info: Vintage 2023
    Source: Tavour
    Auxiliary vice: Michter's Distellery -- Shenk's Homestead

    4.36/5 rDev +4.8%
    look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25

    Looks and smell are same as '22. The taste seems richer, more chocolate-forward with a fine whiskey undercurrent below the sweetness. The mouthfeel also seems denser, richer; soft, chewy, pillowy.

    This vintage takes the edge (subjectively evaluated) from the 2022 vintage.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    November 30th, 2023 ratings, scores, and review:

    4.0 4.25 4.25 4.25 4.25; BA weighted overall score: 4.24; rDev: +1.9%

    Clear, dark pour, opaque black appearance in the glass; thin yet lasting tan colored head. Pleasant nose; dark roasted grains, cocoa, barrel wood. Nice, balanced flavor; chocolate and bourbon; vanilla. Great mouthfeel; viscous and silky on the palate; a fair bit of whiskey warmth yet balanced with residual sugars.

    This fantastic barrel aged imperial stout comes across balanced and complex. The chocolate seems a bit like milk chocolate (although that may just be the vanilla coming into play). The bourbon barrel is not over-the-top and balances nicely with the base beer character.

    Pouring temperature: 38 °F; bottling info: VINTAGE 2022

    Helles lager collab between Brew Your Mind and Gravity. Maybe not comparable to the IPAs, but still quite good.

    Had a couple last nite when I returned home from the West Bank. [/QUOTE]
    Is that the West Bank of the Mississippi Les?

    Unseasonably cool 56-degree day here in Western NC. Picked up this tasty Other Half/Burial Collaboration last week called I Used To Be An Athlete which is the story of my 30's after work hoops games. Channeling my inner @beerloserLI with Lithium from SiriusXM.
    Cheers!

    Good afternoon, BAs! I made a little Tree House restocking trip today. In addition to more hoppy goodness for myself, this should facilitate sending out a few boxes. But for right now:

    [​IMG]Enjoying a Black Butte Porter from Deschutes. I typically post photos from my Desktop via Imgur which is working fine. Tried the Android Phone App unsuccessfully even after manipulating the URL to mimic what works.
    Listening to Sirius Lithium. I remembered Lucious Jackson only as a hoopster from my NBA trading cards and Strat-o-Matic board game until i started hearing this tune.
    Cheers!

    I know right?

    I once told an older fella I was a young man, to which he replied that was an « illness one quickly heal from » if that makes sense. Cheers.
