Hot damn. . . . really hoping that some of the -bal and soured beers last until tomorrow afternoon when I can stop in. . .
I was there - had a glass of the Jacked Drakonic which was pretty good, very barrell-y, plenty of of the whiskey flavor but also somewhat woody. Very slightly carbonated, good texture and mouthfeel - pretty easy to drink. One of those BBA stouts that makes me want to put a shot of JD into a pint of Drakonic and see how it compares side-by-side Then had a flight with the '09 Jolly Rodger, '10 Jolly Rodger, Duck ala Rouge and Drew Barrymore. The '09JR was my favorite, almost too sweet though, very bourbony. The only other comment I have is that I would not consider any of these beers 'sour' despite Drake's calling them sours. There may have been hints of tartness here or there but all these beers were dominated by sweetness an the barrel.
