ROGUE ALES - BEARD BEER This is one unique beer and reading the label might scare a few people off. "Beard Beer is brewed with a yeast created from Brewmaster John Maier's beard." OK. Looks like a wheat beer when poured, aroma is pretty neutral. Malty with some slight citrus hints. Taste is the same, sweet malts, lemon, apples, and grapefruit. Ok, standard ale, nothing stands out, but interesting due to the yeast source. For me another underwhelming beer from Rogue. A fun beer to talk about and try once, but no need to buy any more.
EPIC BREWING COMPANY - BIG BAD BAPTIST IMPERIAL STOUT Listed as batch #20. A stout brewed with cocoa nibs, coffee and aged in whiskey barrels. These are pretty limited, says one of only a few thousand bottles produced. This is a big boy beer with a 10.5% ABV. Smell is all about the coffee with hints of vanilla and chocolate. Taste is dominated by dark roast coffee notes and you really need to look for the chocolate, but its there. Really cant tell it was aged in whiskey barrels. Great balance, really no notice of the alcohol at all. Full bodied and goes down nice and smooth. I am not a huge coffee fan, but still really enjoyed this one. This is a really well made beer, if you can find it, buy it.
JUNKYARD - SIXES, SEVENS & NINES Their 2nd album, and while not as good as their debut, still a very good solid album. Another straight up good time bar room rock record with a little blues influence. As i stated yesterday, one of the best late 80s early 90s rock bands. Love these guys. Perfect music to enjoy a few cold beers to. I can't reccomend them enough.
