Let me start off by saying I LOVE good beer.  However, not all beer is good.  While IPAs are my least favorite style, I still like them.  I have been digging barrel aged (BA) beers for a while now.  The first one to grab me was 'Dragon's Milk' by New Holland.  A must have if you like this style.  It's not for everyone.  Some people don't like a hint of bourbon in their beer.  Me?  Best of both worlds!  Moreover, BA offerings tend to be darker beers, which happen to be my favorite.  So its a win, win, win for me.

Anyone have a favorite BA offering they would like to shout out?

 

ps. Love the PBR Coffee logo.  Super good!

There are a lot of different varieties of BA beers. I am not sure if you have had Darkness(Russian Imperial Stout from Surly Brewing) but it is actually aged in oak barrels that haven't been used for spirits. Same with Dogfish Head's Palo Santo Marron(Brown Ale aged in huge Palo Santo wood vessels). Or Cigar City made a couple of their flagship beers that have been aged in Amburana good(Hunaphu has previous versions in this wood). Those are some really cool barrel aged darker beers that are not in the traditional mold of a spirit barrel aged stout.

But, yeah, who doesn't love a big stout in some spirit barrels? RIS, pastry, whatever....poo is good.

YES! I know which one you are talking about, but I can't think of the name of it either.  It's like coffee, french toast (with syrup) and stout beer with a hint of bourbon in a can.  Who needs an actual breakfast with that kind of offering?

RIS = Russian Imperial Stout. Pastry stouts are a more recent style of heavy adjunct beers(coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup, you name it). 

There are actually quite a few beers that might meet your description these days(very popular set of adjuncts in the stout and BA stout world). I am thinking maybe Founders CBS, perhaps? That wouldn't be in a can though. 

Maple BA stouts are all the rage. I approve. My blood sugar probably doesn't.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.

      Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.

      Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then? I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line. DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.
