Assassin was fudgy deliciousness, super viscous, would seek out again. Voodoo IBS was great, very little maple but it still blew our socks off. The b3 50n was so damn funky, very happy with it, want another bottle to see how decanting it compares. Leaner b2 was soooooooo good, it's probably the 2nd casey beer i've ever loved (the first being CFP Nectarine emarude). It's ridiculously fruit forward, very well balanced. Nothing but great things to say about the rest. Overall it was a great night with a couple of friends .

Not pictured are the pan dulce my girlfriend made for us. Cinnamon and vanilla! Paired nicely with the assassin:

No one liked it, and we ended up DPing it.

Everything hurts.

and we ended up DPing it. Butthurt was real on it especially for the price.

If I only had a dollar for every time I've uttered those words.

The vanilla was pretty mild and it had some slight oxidation, but it was very tasty still.

Blind BA Stout tasting last night. Very challenging as always.

My blind tasting order from favorite to least favorite was as follows:

1. Rare 2015
2. BA Everett 2015
3. Damon 2016
4. BA Ten Fidy (surprised me this did this well)
5. Parabola 2013
6. BCBS 2016
7. BB Plead the 5th 2015
8. Double Barrel Jesus
9. Black Gold 2015 (had kind of a funky nose - not tart at all, just quite different than the others).

All of the beers were tasty. For our group (4 people total) the consensus winner was Rare 2015 and the biggest surprise was BCBS 2016 (one person picked this as their favorite). Damon was also a group favorite.

Yesterday afternoon, Roze texted: "No one is really around, but feel free to come by anyway."

Turns out people (including Fahmie25) were around after all.
