beer hauls - Page 89

landhoney · 02-02-2012, 09:20 AM

From left to right:
DFH Noble Rot (one for me and one for Tony

)
Cigar City/Bruey Collaboration - Dos Costas Oeste - Lemon wood aged (2)
Cigar City/Bruey Collaboration - Dos Costas Oeste - Grapefruit wood aged
Cigar City/Bruey Collaboration - Dos Costas Oeste - Cedar wood aged
Pugsley (cat not beer)

We'll be tasting these on Monday night as part of a smaller tasting group. I'm going to bring a bottle of Sauternes to try along side the DFH Noble Rot to see how it compares to the "classic" Botrytis/Noble Rot wine (not saying the beer should taste like wine, but just to see how they did getting the classic noble rot flavors into the beer).

The CCB/Bruery beers should be interesting, they are 9% ABV "saisons" aged on spirals of the described wood. We got to try the cedar aged one a few months ago at a tasting, to say it was intensely flavored would be putting it mildly, we'll see how its shaped up.

Thanks Dave, good advice.

Just visited Marietta's new growler store and came home with a 64oz growler of ST 2xIPA and 32oz growler of Lenny Big Eddy Stout. Having a growler store within walking distance of the house might prove useful and a problem all at the same time

Picked this up last night:

2012 Bigfoot is here!!!

02-02-2012, 09:17 PM

Nice, good to see 2012 Bigfoot is hitting now. I've got a 6 pack left from last year I've been sitting on to age. I'll hide some 2012 in the cellar too.

One of my friends scored both a 1989 and 1998 vintages. It's unreal how well this beer can age. I prefered the 98 vintage, 89 fell off a bit but was still good. It's an odd beer between 3-6 years old.. Between those years, people tend to not like it as much.. I guess kinda a "sick" period.

I started aging these in 2008. I wish I would have started sooner.

The poorly exposed white ones are Lawsons Double Sunshine. 4 Hopslams and 4 Double Troubles didn't make the photo.

Bill86 · 02-03-2012, 03:10 PM

Nice haul! The FFF beers are great.

Salvelinus · 02-03-2012, 03:18 PM

Got a wee heavy in bottles right now, got the RTB and Old Chub for comparison.

Went to Wholefoods the other day (one of the few supermarkets in my area that sells alcohol BTW) and picked up a couple of special beers for the Super Bowl.

First:

Collaboration No. 2 White IPA a beer made by both Boulevard Brewing and Deschutes.

Second:

Wachusett Larry an excellent Imperial IPA put out by a local brewery. I really wish I could get this beer in a 6-pack.
