    Having a Cigar City BA ABW collaboration with Coppertail Brewing also out of Tampa. This brew was aged in Rum barrels.
    The nose was very good as i got a nice toffee and some vanilla from the barrel. Taste was toffee dominated with some dark fruit in post sip aspirations. Barrel nuance not as prevalent as the vanilla was lightly present with the rum dominating on the back end.
    Nothing ventured nothing gained as they say. BA Barleywines are pretty rare so thought it was worthy of a shot for $19. Overall rated 4.04.
    Cheers!

    Hey, I haven't given up on IPAs entirely, I mean, c'mon :stuck_out_tongue:. Especially Black IPAs, which I love dearly and can buy rarely.

    Black Shark, a BIPA from German brewery Camba Bavaria (8.5%).

    This makes for an absolutely amazing BIPA... when fresh. Too bad that the brewery apparently still sets a 24-month best-by date for it despite my aggressive email campaign... It's still nice enough, even though it has turned more into a Baltic Porter by now.

    The recent unbearable heat has been replaced the last couple of days by monsoon worthy rains. My lawn is thankful as am I. Cheers.

    I am very sorry about that one. A very tame WCIPA at best. This one and anything with haze will dazzle more. Cheers all.[​IMG]

    Good afternoon Advocates. Just got in from work and jumped into my first beer from a box sent to me by a friend at Good People Brewing in Alabama. Right off the bat, this beer surprised me. Their American IPA. This one is a little different. Leads with spicy/herbal hops and is accented with pine and citrus fruits. Has the expected big bitterness. Medium bodied and drying. Alcohol barely noticeable. Also, had a good firm malt backbone, the way AIPA should. Uses Coulmbus, Wiliamette, Simcoe, Citra, and Cascade hops. I think this is their longest running beer. Very well crafted beer. Kudos to Good People Brewing!
