Joe's first porter review:

beer pours dark, clearly Ayo dark but more like a Seth dark
smells like good
tastes like good

glass was emptied, more pliz

LOL

it's a limited release for the 40 year anniversary of the mile's davis album
i am splitting it with 4 other people who had a shit fit when they found out i got bottles

you should proal start buying 2 of everything so you can send me one

possibly going to the dogfish head original brewery on monday

you try it yet? I have 2 to try...and might get another one or two to hold onto

people are arriving in about 20 minutes
ill give update later or tomorrow

that is awesome.

i love that album.

I am jealous as I don't know what a lot of that stuff is.

Tonight's consumption:
1x Creme Brulee Stout
1x Mokah

lmk when you have that 2005/6 90m dipa. kinda wondering what thats gonna be like after so long.
and ill pretend i didnt see some of the beers on there so i dont cry to you over texts begging for them.

It's actually the first batch of 120 that was ever made. The bottle is only half filled because they didn't know what would happen if they filled the bottled all the way. The abv is 6% more than the 120 of last year and this year.

I had direct contact with Sam (the owner of DFH) about this brew and he claimed this would age like a barleywine. So that's what I'm doing.

If there is a certain beer listed that I have marked as 2 or more don't hesitate to ask. I've gained a lot more inventory of some of these beers that I never thought I would own more than 1 or 2 of (ie darklord, bourbon county brand coffee, etc)

there is a good chance this abyss is clearly infected. maybe, just maybe, there might be a nearly faint sourness. but it is by no means undrinkable

there was something there that didnt seem like it belonged in a stout though. i have no basis to compare this to so im a bit donno donno about this. it wasnt sour, but it was a brightness there that i just didnt expect. all in all very good.

like other reviewers, i got about 3/4 a cup of head on an increasingly more gentle pour
smell is hmm, there is something here that is clearly stoutlike. its the same the abyss had but a few stages more advanced.
tastes good, thinner tasting than i expected. clearly as roasty either.

im convinced this is clearly how it tasted originally. its still very good, and the barrel aging is apparent. but much thinner and more carbonated than im assuming its supposed to be.

All 3 breweries that partook in this collab brewed it at their brewery. This weekend I picked up the DFH and Victory one... iso Stone's to do a tasting of all 3.

i might be able to make that happen

Grabbed this tonight from a convenience store in Brooklyn, I was impressed by it. Very clean euro lager, malt is slightly creamy which gave it a nice feel, and overall it was extremely drinkable and refreshing. It tastes very fresh, and most of the negative reviews on BA seem to describe things I associate with skunked green bottle beer & canned euro lagers that have seen a few warm/cold temperature changes, or at the very least beer that is long past its freshness date.

Bonus points because the 1 liter can looks like a normal can in my hand.

Brewed with Parsley, Sage, Estate Rosemary & Thyme. Checkout the video for more: http://vimeo.com/11419846

It pains me to see Sam look like he is getting old...

Anyway, consuming a growler of spring house smoked porter with some m8's and then firing through a few of the bottles i have sitting in the fridge...

drank meni beers tonight in the company of several people who are members of the BA community at a local establishment... cant even recall what 1/2 the shit was



and yes dan the bottle of your stuff has been secured

dearest adam,

i drank one of the two heavy seas mutiny fleet barley wines that i purched a few weeks ago for you

in conclusion, gonna need a maryland update / nn shipping

its swell that you 2 continue to poop in cryptics

ilu 2

adam, have i sent you the following:
2008 alaskan barleywine
speedway stout
old numbskull

those 3 and one bottle of the abyss were rogue in their own box. i think the 2 alesmith are yours but the 08 alaskan being in that box has me confused because i was certain i still had one and thats the only one.

have sent me as in you are sending it now or you sent it in the past?
I have a box downstairs that includes everything from you that i have clearly yet drank

:facepalm:

have i sent you those 3 because the abyss, which was mine, is in the same box. the alesmith are yours as i thought, but the alaskan has me confused now cuz the abyss was mine and i was certain i still had one of those here

the question is the alaskan
do you have it yet

yes, you have already sent me the 08 alaskan barleywine
if i remember correctly you got one for yourself at the time of getting me one and said it was awesome and got another? donno donno but yes you have already sent me that

ok
clearly sure how i put 2 of yours in a box with 2 of mine, so i was really thrown off

the beer being packaged now is quite stupid, and if i had no self control i would just qti and drink everything right now

one more question
tsunami stout - pelican brewery

its dated 12 on the bottle. do you want this stout to be 9 months old or do you want a fresh one?

beer

9months for a stout isnt really a problem... unless it is less than 5% alcohol

yea, i just wanted to offer you because this one is sold at my local supermarket and a fresh one would take no effort

2 boxes coming to you monday, one box gary, one box mike

and then i take stock of whats in my house
