Very excited to be a new member! Did the members get 8 different bottles last year or were there 2 of some?
Just saw there's one of WH's beers on tap where I'm headed Wednesday evening -- Link's Lager, worth a taste?
Can't find any information about Link's Lager -- even at the WH website. Untappd has it listed as an "American Lager," which scares me because it leaves it open for rice to be used in the recipe -- and malted or fermented rice doesn't sit well with me. Unless I learn more about this beer, I'll probably be passing on it.
Had an Il Fortunato Yuzu over the weekend. Just excellent, especially after working outside for hours.
Anyone at the barrel tasting today? 1.) 5yr Heaven Hill, Chocolate + Oat RIS, Aged 14 mos 2.) 9yr Buffalo Trace, Chocolate + Oat RIS, aged 12 mos 3.) 6yr Wild Turkey, Chocolate Rye RIS, aged 16 mos 4.) 8yr Buffalo Trace -> maple BLIS bourbon, “seismic base RIS,” aged 12 mos BT, 9 mos BLIS
I wish. Any standouts? Will these be blended into a new base of some sort? I had non-BA Seismic Overlay this week and it was outstanding. I loved the balance between the roasted malts, the sweetness and the adjuncts. It wasn't over the top, and I was happy to put it in the category of a beer I can drink a whole can of. I can't say the same for most 10%+ stouts these days, unfortunately.
