Persikkaa ja pientä loppupoltetta

Persikkarenkaita ja loppuun mausteisuutta ja hot soossia. Jännä on. Matalat hiilihapot.

We are at Whiskey River Ranch in Texas for our annual SOTS reunion. This is our 36th gathering on the Guadalupe river. This is entry number seven into our best beer contest. This beer is scary because it's 12% and it's only noon here. I was going to save it for later but I got shamed into sharing it. The peanut butter came fast followed by the banana. Neither were artificial. Pretty well balanced with the peanut butter a little stronger. Only in the finish did a roasted quality emerge with maybe a little bacon in the background. Mostly just roasted. Creamy, smooth, good beer. Oh, that 12% doesn't try to hide either.

The taste was decent, the pecans was non existent, and vanilla barely present, chocolate was good. Martin House usually put out some good brews but this one missed the mark.

Kuohkea 3 sormen paksuinen vaahto kastanjan ruskeassa sameassa, virkistävässä ja kuivaavassa oluessa. Greippinen vahva maku, todella raikas ja alkoholikaan ei tule yhtään läpi. Hedelmäinen ja raikas.

Kuohkea 3 sormen paksuinen vaahto ruskeassa sameassa, virkistävässä ja kuivaavassa oluessa. Kuiva, greippiä isosti, loppuun vähäsen makeuttakin. Aika rapsakka ja vahvan tuntuinen muutoinkin, humaloinnissa ei kyllä ole säästelty. Humalamainen ja sitrusmainen.

This is the first Duo Ryan and I have had in a long time. So proud of him for the weight he has lost by controlling his diet so efficiently. But it put a huge dent in our Duo beers. Tonight we're sharing a Martin House beer he brought to me. An unusual whiskey barrel ale with fruit. Should be interesting. Beautiful reddish orange color with a steady whispy Haze. Aroma gives you a stone fruit along with a punch of aromatic woodsy alcohol. Gives you a sweet whiskey and probably prune sensation. Texture is soft and it is accompanied by a strong effervescence in the mouth. Each sip seems to create small bubbles on the tongue. Flavor is extraordinary, this is strong. Some beers are good at hiding their alcohol content. Not this one. It's 13.8% actually reminds me more of some of the 17% beers I've had before. Plenty of punch there. It starts soft with a barrel aged whiskey and it's dark stone fruit flavors. Only during the finish do I get that sweet papaya on the back of my tongue, briefly, then it's overwhelmed again. The finish again changes the texture from soft to what I call crisp. What I love about having a Duo with Ryan, besides getting to speak with my daughter, is bouncing these flavors back and forth between us. His palate is extraordinary. But when he used the word "angry" for this flavor, that was perfect! It is angry. Comes at you hard, unapologetic, and throws it's flavor right at you. Somehow it is still subtle in it's delivery, like, "Here I am, take it or leave it". Once you accept this calm assault, and you give into it, you begin to love this method. It's unique, it's bold, and I enjoyed it very much.

Gout de cornichon présent, c'est juste pour ça l'étoile sinon à éviter
