Consumption History
When
Drank 650 ml of Stone 10.10.10 Vertical Epic Ale by Stone Brewing Co. (2010)January 8th, 2013
2012-12-30
Not much nose, wine-like notes in the taste, Belgian sweetness. Not a favorite, but not bad.
Drank 650 ml of Stone 06.06.06 Vertical Epic Ale by Stone Brewing Co. (2006)January 8th, 2013
2012-12-28
Subtle spice, roasted favors, sweeter palette than nose, solid dark Belgian take.
Drank 750 ml of Samuel Adams Stony Brook Red by Boston Beer Company (2012)January 8th, 2013
2013-03-20
Bready (maybe some brett in there?), not too much of a red, but not spectacular. So so beer.
Drank 12 oz of Narwhal Imperial Stout by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. (2012)January 8th, 2013
2013-08-19
Better than the last bottle, from what I remember, pitch black, nice thin head, great nose, nice mix of porter sharpness and stout character.
2013-04-25
Not as good as I remember on second tasting. A little dull.
2012-12-29
Mild nose, minimal head with decent lacing. Warmth and roasted malts immediately apparent, very solid and straightforward take on an Imperial Stout.
Drank 650 ml of Matilda by Goose Island Beer Co. (2012)January 8th, 2013
2012-12-28
Well balanced, sweet, and very mildly sour. Should do well with aging!
Drank 12 oz of Ken Schmidt / Iron Fist / Stone Mint Chocolate Imperial Stout by Stone Brewing Co. (2012)January 8th, 2013
2015-10-10
Still lots of mint! Hope they do this beer again, super delicious.
2014-05-25
Still lots of mint, dark chocolate, very little booziness. Love it.
2014-04-15
Tasting great, very much like a peppermint patty with lots of chocolate and a subtle amount of mint. Great beer, glad I grabbed extras.
2013-10-08
The mint is possibly fading a tad, but still an amazingly delicious beer. So well done.
2013-03-29
This beer is amazing. The mint works so well. Wish I had more in the cellar than just two!
2013-01-09
This was delicious! Was scared mint would overwhelm, but was extremely subtle and a perfect compliment. Should age well, must resist temptation to drink them all now.
Drank 650 ml of Firestone 15 - Anniversary Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2011)January 8th, 2013
2014-01-02
Delicious. Definitely more of a barleywine than some of the other anniversary blends, but has come along really nicely, with a great balance of malt and smooth roasty notes. Dig it.
2012-12-28
First tasting (December 2011) was silky and sweet with lots of vanilla and booziness.
Drank 12 oz of Dueling Pipers by Ale Industries (2012)January 8th, 2013
2013-11-09
Less rye than I remember, has balanced more into the beer, also a lot less booziness so the cellar time has done it well.
2013-01-05
Rye, rye, and more rye. Heavy rye whiskey nose, flavor, and connotation. A bit boozy, but quite nice as a slow sipper.
Drank 650 ml of Double Double Barrel Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2012)January 8th, 2013
2012-12-28
Quite malty! Notes of molasses, candy, moderate carbonation, mild booziness. Should do well with aging.
Drank 650 ml of Cappuccino Stout by Lagunitas Brewing Company (2012)January 8th, 2013
2013-04-02
Big coffee notes, delicious, great beer.
2013-01-02
Not much in the nose. Strong coffee notes, porter overtones in the mouthfeel and initial flavor. A good stout, not terribly exciting, but for the price? Thumbs up.
Drank 64 oz of Yellow Snow IPA by Rogue Ales (2012)January 8th, 2013
2012-12-28
Solid, standard IPA. Nothing terribly notable.
Drank 750 ml of XS Imperial India Pale Ale by Rogue Ales (2012)January 8th, 2013
2012-12-28
Interesting balance, not too sweet but not too hoppy either. Thick feel, decent finish.
Drank 650 ml of Walker's Reserve - Porter by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2012)January 8th, 2013
2012-12-28
Interesting mild porter. Solid flavor, not too strong.
Drank 650 ml of Union Jack India Pale Ale by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2012)January 8th, 2013
2012-12-28
Very similar nose and hop character to Double Jack. Less potent hop kick, especially in finish, but very well balanced.
Drank 375 ml of Spontankoppi by Mikkeller (2012)January 8th, 2013
2012-12-28
Sour, funky nose. Sour citrus start, musty finish. Not a favorite. Toothpaste and orange juice phenomenon.
