still dead in here.




the "alone" is real!

 

actually, I believe this might have been the same one I had the other week ago at my local watering hole.

 

That wouldn't surprise me. It has a pretty good distribution.

We cracked open a Sierra Nevada Cherry Chocolate Stout last night. yummy.

Sierra Nevada makes craft beer?

 

Sierra Nevada makes some very interesting on-offs.

I also dig their narwhal. We cracked open 2014, 2015 and 2016 versions the other night and the 2014 had aged beautifully. Also keep an eye out for their Trip in the Woods series (barrel aged narwhal)

 

you opened a 2014-2016 version? This is a craft beer? The yeast didn't spoint and it didn't have sediments in it?

 

We opened three 12 oz bottles, one from each year, and had five of us tasting it. Not spoiled at all and no observed sediment. It was difficult to discern between the 2015 and 2016, but the 2014 had definitely mellowed and lost some of the typical imperial stout roasted malt bite. Between my buddy and I, we have something like 3 or 4 2014 bottles left, 6 to 8 2015s, and a case of 2016. We'll have another tasting this winter then back at it next winter when the 2017 is released with four years to taste.
