The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

@Bruce988jl

Here are a couple of my favorites:
Bottle Logic - Fundamental Observation (If you are every around that part of CA)
Founder's - KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)
Prairie - Bomb!


What other great Bourbon Barrel stouts are out there guys?

 

The Bottle Logic FO is only released once a year and is the hardest beer to obtain from them. I spent 30 minutes last year hitting refresh trying to get bottles.

I don't think I sent you an FO did I? I think I sent you the Fundamental summation? I forgot lol

 

So many to choose from....

BCBS
Ten fiddy
Old Rasputin

That's off the top of my head.
Others will fill in the blanks

 

@Iamraiderpower wow!! Wife wanted me to let you know how much she loved this cider lots of blackberries and cranberries !

 

Old Rasputin is awesome! Love their bottle releases and I have several from the past years.

 

I always just seem to miss the release of KBS. I'm hoping to snag some this year.
I've only had Prairie Bomb once, but it was easily one of my favorite beers of all time. I loved the little bit of heat the chili peppers gave it.
If you like quads, Boulevard make a Bourbon Barrel Quad (BBQ) that is very good.
I also just had a bottle of Boulevard's "Rye On Rye" which is aged in rye whiskey barrels and also very good.

 

I’m telling ya they make some good stuff! I’ll send y’all a big ol sampling of all their stuff glad she liked it!

 

Late night beer and rerun boxing.

 

Hmm....yeah, maybe it was Summation. Will have to check my notes. Was great I do know that.

Ten-Fiddy.....yes.

Thanks.

 

Ahhh yeah! Forgot about those too. I haven't had that but have wanted to try.
@Bruce988jl There you go. Those might be something to check out.

 

Couple I have stashed away...

Bells Black Note is a really good one!

Weyerbacher Sunday Morning Stout is also pretty solid.

Lagunitas Willitized Coffee Stout

Ballast Point High West (porter though)

There are lots of good harder to find whales too... But I’m still hunting those!

 

Have been wanting to get my hands on some Bell's. Think there is a place near me that has it, just have to make an excuse to get there.

 

Those are definitely some elusive beers

 

My GF’s friend’s husband played some music at Cherry Street Brewing in Cumming Ga last night.

Pretty cool place! Great beers and reasonable prices! Only gripes were that all of the stouts I ordered were served way too cold and I wish it was closer!

I saw some Elijah Craig and Buffalo Trace barrels being put to good use!



Started off with a flight of their stouts -



DECOS (Double Espresso Chocolate Oatmeal Stout) - Solid coffee stout

Ginger Bread Stout - Pretty good, LOTS of ginger though!



Black Throated Stout - English Style Stout

Cortez the Killer - Mexican Spiced Russian Imperial Stout - Hands down my favorite out of the flight! Oasis base with cinnamon and chili added! So good I picked up a Big Ass Can for later (only $12 for 32oz)!



OASIS - (Old As Shit Imperial Stout) - Very good!



After my flight, I tried a 5 oz pour of their OASIS 5 Year Blend... And then an 8 oz pour! A lot going on here, OASIS aged in 5 different barrels: bourbon, wine, port, apple brandy, and tequila. I was a little hesitant, but glad I did! It changed flavors several times as it warmed!

 

I haven’t seen that second one.

How was it?

I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.

 

Racking day.


Mild: 1042 to 1007
Session IPA: 1043 to 1012
RIS: 1100 to 1018

 

Oh wow what yeast did you use on that RIS. That’s crazy attenuation.

 

Half the yeast cake from my Foreign Export, which was second usage of 1084 Irish
