    Quick C+S report: zero melon, tangy berry fruits, dank and bitter finish. Solid 2nd batch. Buying it wasn't so easy, seems it wasn't in their system on the POS?

    On the stout front, anyone open their Snowbirds Barrel Only care to share feedback?

    i thought it was great, not syrupy, loads of dynamic bourbon and oak flavors, back-to-basics

    I had it last night. I enjoyed it, I think it is a very solid BA stout, I think it is on par with the BCBS nice ones and Reserves, which I think are very enjoyable as well and to me among the standards for the style (and I had been sampling them this week). Seems better than some of the other local BA straight stouts I have had (I have not had some of the epic Side Project etc stouts).

    BA Gravity Gumbo Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Coffee, Chicory, Pecans, Pralines and Vanilla (14.5%) with the Louisiana homies @parishbrewing We looked to Louisiana for inspiration for this stout. Like taking a chicory coffee break while slamming delicious pralines only you might have poured some bourbon into your coffee when no one was looking. $22 per bottle. ⁠

    I don’t want to pour suburban salt in the wound, but they released a shirt along with the C/S drop today...

    Regular Snowbirds 5 is good, but just has the faintest taste of suntan lotion artificial coconut. Mouthfeel is great and sweetness is not too much, but the aforementioned flavor holds it back from a 4.5 or higher for me. Still a good stout.

    Someone's gotta try this blue beer and report back, a selfless Xmas act of charity perhaps?

    Thanks for the heads up! Walked over and picked up a few four packs today. Also got the Small Riwaka Everything since I’ve never tried it.

    How's the pricing/beer selection at Wegmans? I recently moved a whole lot closer than I was when it opened, but I haven't made it over there yet.

    For what it's worth, I think the Chowhound knock-off recipe is pretty accurate/close to the real thing...

    I'm pretty sure all of us are "local" to the BK OH, not the FLX one. As a former Rochester native though, I hear ya on a garbage plate craving.
