Avery Barrel-Aged Series

Tweak No. 3 this weekend

 

Dropped in town last week. Its less coffee forward than batch 2, but more than batch 1. Still damned fine.

 

yeah, wasn't announced apparently, but it's actually been available at the brewery for a week or two now. had one over thanksgiving weekend - think i liked the last batch better but agree is still damn good.

 

Dang, yeah, it went right by me apparently. Didn't see the usual release day announcement.

 

I am loving this latest Tweak. The coffee is up front, but it's a sweet flavor as opposed to a bitter style. That 16% is well hidden, this beer is great. I have to admit, I really like the differences in the batches. Each one is a new experience

 

Uncle Jacob's, Feb 28th. Wish they would have stuck with the Sunday release, but it looks like they want to coincide with Mardi Gras. Guess I'll wait until the following weekend, there should be no worry about them running out.

 

Join us on Sunday, February 19th, for a special brewery only release of N. 42 in our Barrel-Aged Series – Nox Reposado. With whispers of smoke and sweet tarts, this dark Tequila Sour has been aged in Suerte reposado and anejo Tequila barrels from the heart of Atontonilco El Alto.

 

Are you talking about the Batch 3, Nov 14, 2016? I have a bottle of it, have not tried it yet, soon. Batch 2 was pretty fuckn' awesome, though.

Cheers!

 

two newest ones coming....

 

Yep, No. 3, great stuff. Tweak is one of the few coffee beers that I think ages well, though I still like it fresh the best

 

Uncle Jacobs #6. Just had the 5oz on tap at the brewery, man does it go down easy. Real smooth, barrel is balanced. They went light on this batch, 14.9%. Only aged 6 months in barrels, never realized it was that short of a time, tastes like it's much longer, but going back through my bottles to '13, they were all 6mo.

 

Hmm...14.9% almost brings it to 12 oz weeknight consumption level. That could be dangerous.

 

lowered the ABV but kept the high price?

 

Ye

yep, usual $12/12oz

 

Join us on Sunday, April 23rd, for a special brewery only release of N. 44 in our Barrel-Aged Series, named Islay. This complex and smokey stout, clocking in at 10%ABV, was aged in Scotch barrels hailing from the island of Islay in Scotland. -- per their FB page.

 

Have not seen any new one's in a long time here in GJ.

Cheers!

 

Glad to see they're back to stouts after a pretty long sour streak, but damn this is disappointing... smokey beers just aren't my thing

 

I'm not a big fan of smoky, but I've had a few scotch aged beers I liked. Copper Kettle 18yr Macallan aged Imp Stout was fantastic. Mockery's Double Scotch on the Rockies was also pretty good (I still have one left, I wonder how it's doing). And, believe it or not, Denver Beer had Scotch on Scotch probably 4 years ago which was great, though it was probably the last beer I enjoyed from them.
As for this one, at 10% I don't know if it'll be a $12 beer, but I'm willing to give it a try.

 

They're cheap enough to drink daily too
