Divine Reserve 16

to echo the sentiment, I absolutely love when SA does something really unique in the divine reserve series, even at the risk of not appealing to those looking for the latest sexy style. I really enjoyed this one, not only because it's a great beer, but I enjoyed learning about the adambier before finally trying one and experiencing the beer I had been reading about since learning of the release. and of course, I can't wait to see what they do with this in the bishops barrel series

 

Had my 2nd tonight at fridge temp. Huge, huge difference in the smoke and fruitiness. I still wouldn't call the smoke subtle by any means, but it was much better.

 

if you don't like the smoke, drink it cold, as it warms, the smoke is more prominent.

 

Has this made its way to SA yet?

 

Did I miss this?

 

Should be plenty still around. I know Total Wine near North Star had DR15 for the longest time.

 

I still see it at every store I go to.

For the record, I tried a sampler at the Saucer, it's not my cup of tea.

 

HEB Pasadena had 4 bombers as of this afternoon and Fresh Market on Holcombe had 3 cases of bombers as of yesterday.

 

Got around to trying this last weekend and came away really liking it.

Interestingly, I had a different experience than most, I thought the smoke was very strong at the onset, but settled out later allowing the fruits to show up. Its possible my palette just adjusted to the smokiness, but I was taken back a little when I poured it then ended up liking it a lot after it had a chance to breathe.
