          I had one of the biscotti variants, pretty good!

              Two very different Scotch Ales. The one pretty yummy, the other pretty awful…

              Brew Dog seem to re-discover their roots and pride when making their big booming aggressive special editition beers. Their standard retail beers just get worse and worse though. This one was clearly BA'd because it's the thing to do these days. It adds nothing to a thin, acidic, pointless brew.

              This on the other hand was pretty good. Brewed using angelica and other herbs it was balanced, full, tasty and had just enough strange about it to make it a cut above.

                      People rave about Founders KBS and wait on line when it's released. Finally got to try some last year,and so wanted to like it. I found the 12% alcohol to be the dominant flavor. The most disappointed I''ve ever been with a beer that came with so much hype. My son loves it. Two other friends found it undrinkable.

                        Last years KBS was far less balanced than previous years. There are definitely better BBA Stouts though

                          You just gotta age it for a year or so… But even then, there are far better alternatives...

                            I really should comment on all that beer:
                            The GP Baltic Porter was good, dry, old fashioned Porter.

                            The Spanish BA'd stout was nice, but the Brandy barrel version from a few weeks back was better.

                            The Cervisiam Jungle Juice was a DIPA, and was, well different. He dropped the malt when making it, so the hops comes through much cleaner, but the result lacks body and balance.

                            The Shipwreck was mental. I'll have to buy another bottle as I suspect its a better summer brew. There was also probably too much going on.

                            The Marriage Parfait may be a go to alternative to Tilquin this summer. Nice stuff.

                            The Tokyo Intergalactic Stout (brewed with jasmine amongst other things) was tremendous. Thick, rich, so well balanced.

                            The triple IPA was dissapointing. Lervig are generally good but this was ordinary for a ABV heavy triple IPA.

                            The KBS was nice for sure. Never had any before. But I'd agree with the other comments that it didn't live up to the hype.

                            The Kinn IPA was OK. German hops, but not an improvement on their more American styled Vestkyst.

                            Death from Above I've posted here before. It's yummy and the bottle is cool.

                            Tonight I'm tempted to drink my Nøgne Dark Horizon (5th ed.). I really should cellar it but there are still a few bottles left online so I'm thinking it fuckit. It's only $30 a pop [emoji15]

                              I've,recently,been going to 2 semi local brewers when they release Bourbon Barrel Stouts. The problem is that they only get a few barrels,resulting in about 300 750ml bottles, and they tend to sell out on the day they release them to the public. Kind of like a recent IH shirt. Whenever I've been fortunate enough to get some,it's always been worth the effort and the cost.($15-$16)

                                Obviously there are better BA stouts out there. My favourite might be Stronzo - Anniversary #2. Not counting beer produced on such a small scale with ridiculous amounts of ingredients, that they could never be sold commercially..

                                  Goddammit, that was ridiculous. 16AbV and an even 100ibu. Tastes like sweet soy sauce, with dried fruits and a port wine finish. Fantastic. I've just ordered two more.

                                    Hazy, juicy NE style IPA. Pretty tasty, no one that I know of in Texas is even trying to make this style of beer so I'll take it. Also I don't have access to the NE breweries that are making those beers so this'll have to do!

                                    I liked it so much I brought two crowlers of it home too and am drinking one now.

                                    Pinthouse Pizza Nomura. This is an imperial version of their really tasty Electric Jellyfish, clocking in at 10.5% or something like that. Super tasty, brought two crowlers of it home as well.

                                          Didn't buy that Dark Horizon cause it was 20€ for a 0.5l bottle… Decided to get some cheaper stuff... 30 beers and two glasses for 115€ - not too bad!..
