STOUT MONTH!

Still need to make it down there. My fave is the normal 'ol Trickster. Love me some hoppy stouts.

 

Was there yesterday and nothing yet. I don't visit the Source often, but had some friends from out of town who wanted to check it out. The clean beers are coming along nicely, enjoyed the coffee porter, so I'll definitely be on the lookout for the BA stout.

 

Was down at Vine last night and had a few really good stouts (Moloko, Girl Scout) before ordering a BA Choc Thunder and the server came back to tell me that it kicked on the pour before mine! Had to settle for an Addition, which was great.

 

I was there too!
Must have been around the same time because I had the BA Addiction too... Had the Norwegian Wheat which was excellent, along with the Hogshead Extra Stout. It was difficult to choose with all the great stouts on that list though.

 

I finally made it on Sunday. Trickster is as good as ever. It's still my favorite of the Mountain Sun beers. Oskar Blues had a Shiso Chocolate stout that was also enjoyable. Girl Scout is always milder than I expect it to be, but it's great once it warms up. The subtlety is a welcome thing these days.
The BA Addiction tasted a little off to me. I think the barrel (or lines) offered some inadvertent additional character. It was disappointing for a beer I usually really like.

 

While I haven't had the BA Addition yet, regular old Addition is tasting awesome this year.
