BOSTON BEER CO. - SAMUEL ADAMS THIRTEENTH HOUR STOUT This comes from the Sam Adams Barrel Room Collection and has a nice 9% ABV. Label states aroma is “coffee and chocolate with dark fruit, oaky vanilla, peppery spice." I didnt get much of that all. I get some dark fruit and almost a wine type aroma. Same in the taste, more wine and port like flavors than what i was expecting, but has some dark fruits in there. I dont see much in the way of chocolate or spices. Seems more like a quad than a stout. I enjoyed trying it and thought it was very well balanced and easy to drink, it just didnt seem like it was anything like the label described. Still, a very good beer, and beings it is one Samuel Adams reccomends letting age, i might have to grab another bottle throw it in the cellar and see what happens.
STONE BREWING CO. - ARROGANT BASTARD ALE Big hop profile in the nose, mostly citrus and pine. Taste is the same, has a moderate bitterness. Very solid brew, another great offering from Stone, very complex set of flavors. Probably a lot better beer than i can describe, but i struggle to really differentiate between alot of the Stone offerings. Too many taste the same to me, but they are all really good and deserve a try.
BLOWFLY - BLOWFLY FOR PRESIDENT Blowfly is the persona of Clarence Henry Reid. As Clarence he wrote many songs for R&B acts in the 60s and 70s. As Blowfly he performed hit songs and changed the lyrics to a XXX theme (think Weird Al Yankovic). Nothing groundbreaking, but sure fun to listen to. Think of it as almost a comedy/rap album. You will probably laugh alot and even cringe some. With songs like: Blowflys ABCs, Blowfy For President, F*ck Wars, X-Rated P*ssy, etc, i think you know what its all about.
