emelius Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 killed the growler of Bier Brewery Fuggit Stout... we opened D.O.R.I.S. the Destroyer... finished Oil of Aphrodite... heavy stouts are heavy...
emelius Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Mikkeller Cognac Barrel Aged Black Hole... Mikkeller Bourbon Barrel Aged Breakfast... a few participants have tapped out...
Aura Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 It was a long but epic night. Mike G, Jeff, John, Al, Mike B, and Raffy - you guys are the best. Thanks for helping me make this happen. All in all we killed about 25-30 bottles. Pic tomorrow morning of the empties to confirm the final count.
emelius Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 don't tell Bryan, but we stayed up & drank the Lagunitas Cappaccino Stout... well...mostly me...
jp11801 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 damn that looked like a great time I love some stouts and you guys had a killer line up
raffy Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Wow looked like quite an epic night! How you guys feeling this morning?
Aura Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 I am. My head fucking hurts and I woke up just as dizzy as when I passed out. Beyond that I have nothing to complain about. Gratuitous empties pics: In total we cleared 30 bottles and one growler. Highlights for me were all of the Cigar City beers, Speedway Stout (year-around? wtf), and the Heaven's Hill and Four Roses Eclipses. CBS is good, but not quite yet living up to the hype. Definitely needs age because it's lacking the balance and complexity of KBS at this point in time. Huge thanks to Jeff though for bringing one of his few remaining bottles.
Absorbine_Sr Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Posted October 23, 2011 Glad to see there are survivors. I had to cut out right after the Hunahpu, and missed the Dark Lord (I am familiar though ) and the Bourbon County, but I had plenty of good samples. My top list would be the Heaven's Hill Eclipse and the Speedway Stout. And of course the KBS and my first taste of Marshal Zhukov It was a fun night with cool folks. Love ya Bryan and thanks for hosting!!!
manaox2 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 That was definitely an epic line-up. Nice one!
morphsci Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 ^^^ Couldn't agree more. Sorry I had to miss this.
Voltron Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 How did I guess that Jeff would be the last man standing drinking. Excellent effort fellas. It's sad that I bought the most of the rye Curious what you thought of the Mikkeller Bourbon BH and this year's Cognac BH.
digger945 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 My head fucking hurts and I woke up just as dizzy as when I passed out Glad to see there are survivors. How can you not have a good time with HC folk?
Aimless1 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Looks like a great time. Wishing I could have made it.
Aura Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Curious what you thought of the Mikkeller Bourbon BH and this year's Cognac BH. Both were opened near the end of the night. I didn't try the Bourbon Breakfast but I did have a decent-sized sample of the Cognac BH and I liked it. The actual Cognac character wasn't as smooth as I'd like but there was very little alcohol heat, a welcome surprise for what I was expecting. Mike - loves ya too brosef, you are the man.
