Dusty Chalk Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 just accidentally finished an entire bottle of "Sarah's Blend". Yes, I liked it.
jp11801 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Squire Duggeh brought me a little something from his homeland on his last visit to the States and I finally got around to cracking it today. The full story of the Brew Dog Prototype 27 is found on the Brew Dog Blog, but it is special bottling of Hardcore IPA with fresh Scottish raspberries that was aged in a 1982 Caol Ila cask and resulted in only 150 bottles!!! I think that has to be the most exclusive brew I have had that wasn't made in a friend's garage. I knew it was too cold when I started drinking it but I couldn't wait. The raspberries hit right up front and then the hops bite settles in. Now that it is warming and opening up a bit, the wood and smoke lay across my tongue on the finish. The blog tasting notes are more detailed and flowery. Thank you Duggeh, this a radical brew! Cheers! Major envy on my part reading that post! Al glad you enjoyed it.
Duggeh Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Somehow managed to to miss that post first time round Al, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is one of my absolute favourites from Brewdog (I snaffled 6 of the 150 as soon as I read the description and they were not asking much for it either) When I last spoke to Martin Dickie I asked him directly about Prototype 27, he hinted that he'd like to make more of it but that capacity issues are ruining his scope for more niche brews.

raffy Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Dogfish Heaven and Hell. Black and tan made with DFH Worldwide Stout and 120 min IPA
Dusty Chalk Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Last night -- Sarah's Blend -- was quite good.
agile_one Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 ^^^^ That is a manly mix, raffy. Is your chest hair multiplying? Glad you got to the Proto 27, Al. Interesting story there. me = Allagash Dubbel (reserve, batch 96). Lovely stuff, and it's one of my locals here in Maine.
Aura Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Just tap water right now. Mostly wanted to extend props to Raffy on his mythical mix and Al on the exclusive Brewdog bottle. I want to open a beer.
raffy Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Gene, I have a carpet of hair running down my chest all the way down to my crotch. Apparently bitchez can't resist that shit as they're swarming me right now Tried 4 oz portions of WW Stout and 120 min separately.... The 120 was good but a little sweet and the WW Stout was nice but KBS is still king of imp stouts in my book....
agile_one Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Moved on to Allagash Victor - Belgian Ale brewed with grapes. Good, but the Dubbel Reserve was moar bettah. raffy - slip out the back door if you want to escape the pursuing horde.
Voltron Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Nice, Gene. I have a Victor and a Victoria that I need to crack open!
morphsci Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Posted August 2, 2011 I love the glass Gene. The beer is not too shabby either.
agile_one Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Ha, Jim. We had no proper beer glasses here, so that is a stemless white wine glass (eat your heart out, Greg) ... gets the job done, though. Thanks for the photo props, Scott. Nothing like a little sunset backlighting to enhance a beer photo, eh?
emelius Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Firesteone Walker Parabola from Saturday night...wasn't exactly hot, but could probably use a year in the cellar...glad my buddy cracked his open so I don't hafta open mine any time soon:)... also from Saturday night... Bryggeriet Refsvindinge Mors Stout...there were only 2 unique entries for this on untappd...weird to have it show up in Indy... throw in some Chimay cheese:)...smelly!...
emelius Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) hadn't seen Struise Mikkeller Elliot Brew in ages...probably because it isn't being made any longer!... Boulevard Smokestack Series/Deschutes Collaboration 2 White IPA -- probably the best beer of the night...was also lucky enough to have this on tap at the Indiana Microbrewers Festival...get it before it's gone...although the Collaboration 1 is still on shelves here in select stores... & Two Brothers Hop Juice which might be just right on tap, but I'm not so fond of it from bombers... so ya...good times:)...but then last night I had some Boulevard Smokestack Series Saison - Brett...also known as George Brett...the '11 is just as good as I remember the '10 being...& I had some The Bruery Cuir...never has been a favorite of mine, but I liked it more than last time...maybe the last bottle had been sitting out in the heat before it was sold to me...who knows...anyways, not a beer I suggest buying unless you can find the 100% Barrel Aged version or just want to age one for fun... Edited August 2, 2011 by emelius
emelius Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 & now something I drink a lot of...Two Brothers Cane & Ebel... & a thread favorite is back...FFF Moloko Milk Stout...viddy well my droogs...
shellylh Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Following Al, I am drinking The Mountain Man. I have to agree, it is very nice! Wait, are there any bourbon/rye drinks that I don't like??? 1.75 oz bourbon .50 oz Cocchi Americano .50 oz Bonal 2 dashes orange bitters maraschino cherry for garnish
mikeymad Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Hangtown Red 14.5% - El Dorado Another Trader Joe's random grab... This was much better than yesterdays game.
mikeymad Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Anyone had Miracle Mile Bitters? http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1072880 http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1072876 http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1072881 http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1072881
emelius Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 klwines doesn't list Indiana on the places they're ok to ship to...but they say to call 'em & maybe something can be worked out...so I've never used 'em before...lemme know if you have any success... I've moved on to Bell's Third Coast Old Ale...not to be confused with Third Coast Beer...
Aura Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 ..& I had some The Bruery Cuir...never has been a favorite of mine, but I liked it more than last time...maybe the last bottle had been sitting out in the heat before it was sold to me...who knows...anyways, not a beer I suggest buying unless you can find the 100% Barrel Aged version or just want to age one for fun... 'Round these parts you'll have to trade for the 100% BA versions of anything from The Bruery. I still really want to try 100% BA Coton, but I really doubt that'll ever happen. A lot of their shit is just too rare. But you already know that .
