@thebruery Bois virgin French oak barrel, ticker do you even green wax?

20140113-221027.jpg

Hoarders ryde or di3.

This is incredibly wood forward, like in the realm of Matt/AftW. Fusel is ratcheted back by an overwhelming oak, borderline pine and light aserose. This is the least sweet variant, the least alcohol forward and drinks more akin to an Imperial Gratitude. The intense woodsy character increases the dryness, lowers the heat and stiff arms the sweetness present in say brandy/bourbon.

Intense wood pushing that jawline open like a low hanging euphemism.

Blue Lobster Brewing Fires Old Brewer, Hires New Head Brewer With No Commercial Brewing Experience

20140113-111835.jpg

Looking forward to seeing some nuanced brown ales and a panoply of smoked Vienna lagers. I don’t mind paying top dollar while someone learns his craft.

Please advise if the new head brewer does, in fact, have prior commercial brewing experience and I will modify this post. I would hate to receive a spurious lawsuit for defamtion on something we can all agree is presented as either parody or completely irrelevant to Blue Lobster’s business plan and profit margins.

Alpine Brewing Chez Monus, BeerAdvocate has my permission to use this photo since their listing has a completely incorrect photo.

Trying to throw them a bone since their site runs like a Geocities page and crashes regularly these days.

Also, this beer is acidic, hugely drying, Riesling oak and apricots banging on those toms like Neal Peart.

Prickly carb cascades along the gumline and this is the dirty love child of foune and veritas 011. This is their best intentional sour to date and is altogether a resounding success. The sharp acidity dials back the drinkability, but it’s like when you fap and the video still has 10 mins to go, you can keep going. For science.

If you haven’t already, seek this out. A fantastic wild ale, I had the same expectations you do and it pounded them into apricot dust.

Tustin Brewing Barrel aged OE, nipples erect, clapping stacks, limit break Barleywine

20140108-185806.jpg

So awesome. I could drink this forever.

I was gonna do a bcbbw side by side then lol’ed and was like wtf is wrong with me and continued playing Secret of Mana on my phone.

Cray barrel character, toffee, sticky dates, E and J kisses from nana where she gives you that werthers original smooch. Mallow foam and this tight low carb that engages the core for a full squat no swing set, deep press, good ba form.

Modern Times Saison in a can, them rustic purveyors gon be mad

20140108-163918.jpg

Incredibly thin and crushable, albeit lacking complexity and a reliance upon a hoppy profile that muddles the yeast profile and essentially robs it of depth and complexity. If you said this was a dry hopped Belgian table ale I would nod and call you a cicerone master.

Saison training wheels for them 2013 hop head palates in that adolescent stage. Listening to Lorde and talking about the old days when Cherry Rye was released.
