Hopefully they use 3rd use bourbon barrels that previously held Blis Fish Sauce and use anchovies/sardines as adjuncts. not sure what base to pick, but prolly Wheatwhine or blonde stout

I know there's some kind of sentence here but I can't figure out what the hell it is.

Thanks for putting up with my drunk talk last night fellas... lol I'm surprised I was able to muster up that much of a sentence ...

I keep looking at my unopened bottle in fear. How is it?

Thin body but the description of the beer tells it all. I liked it

 

[Corbot_3000]

Is anybody else surprised we haven't gotten a bottle from the new round yet? I'm guessing it's because they're still filling spots with people who entered the lottery.

 

[Gonzoillini1]

As someone who just got their Round 5 bottles last night I can tell you I'm quite pleased nothing new has been released yet.

I've yet to receive an "I'm sorry you lost" email yet so maybe.

This sounds good. Then again, I've liked everything I've had from the last two rounds (only drank my floridablanca so far from round 5 which seemed to polarize people), so maybe I'm just too easy to please.

So, no actual description. Interesting.

Yet people are already complaining about the vague "strong ale" description. Typical

Saw a notification for this thread tonight and thought bottle 2 already dropped.

De Struise Brouwers isn't new money enough.

 

[disapowzment]

Drinking hard sauce now. I actually really like it. Drinks like an pecan pie old ale. I'd drink it again if offered. It's not overly sweet like some have said.

One of the most unique and enjoyable beers I've had this year. Loved it.

Hopefully the beer is better than Jerry's cookie. Later in the episode he pukes it up, ending his vomitless streak of 14 years.

Huge bonus points for the Seinfeld reference. Love that episode.

"Cinnamon takes a back seat to no babka. People love cinnamon. It should be on tables at restaurants along with salt and pepper. Anytime anyone says, "Oh this is so good, what's in it?" The answer invariably comes back, "Cinnamon." "Cinnamon." Again and again. Lesser babka?? I think not."

This beer has potential.

Doug from Cycle quoted this word for word when talking about his most popular beers. It was great.

Don't worry. CCB will screw the pooch with it.

You were so positive yesterday

I for one am really looking forward to it as I've thought the beers from this last two rounds have been really good.

I'm just busting balls. It's pretty funny because we were talking about it yesterday. Pops is excited for it.
