AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Mr. Brain - Found the needed technology. Please disregard my reservations in the old thread, though I'd also support pinning the old one; hate to see the lore stored there sink out of sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,974 Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Came in to Hop City today. Limit 2 per customer. Like Xocoveza's big brother. Much more peppery on the finish, which is very muted in Stone's offering. Well worth the price, 16, I paid for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish they would make it a seasonal rather than once a year release, and put it out in winter, when such stouts are best enjoyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does scream "holiday sipper". Maybe just a marketing thing, as there aren't as many other big special release stouts right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter was one of those where instead of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts... both were just kinda dumbed down a little. IIRC Cake has a little more heat to it- just enough to cut through the sugar and balance it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Cake has a little more heat to it- just enough to cut through the sugar and balance it out. That's where Mexican Cake is great and beats Xocoveza's only glaring flaw, IMO. The pepper is extremely difficult to detect in Xocoveza. Gets its chance to shine in Mexican Cake. Edited June 7, 2018 by AUDub 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,776 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Just because. Almost broke out the BCBS Rare, but decided I wanted it as a “first drink” type of thing...also saving it for my 1000th check in on Untappd—which I’ve been holding on for like 2 months. I’ve got a long backlog because of it Edited June 9, 2018 by ShocksMyBrain 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Refuge 6,802 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 These two. My heavens are they freaking delicious. The Burial reminds me of Bloom. To a of citrus on the nose, creamy mouthfeel with some pineapple fronting the taste. The Lucky Scars May be the winner. It’s hard to describe, but a great nose/mouthfeel. And almost “candylike” finish. A bit candy pineapple sweet finish. Just outstanding. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hawkbill is ridiculous. Never heard of the other one but will be sure to try it if I see it. Found a local beer enthusiast group on FB. They seem to do semi-regular bottle shares, which is great. But 95% of the content seems to be people just posting pictures of the beer they're drinking with no additional information. No tasting notes or anything. I find that odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Refuge 6,802 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 @McLoofus you are absolutely correct in the Hawkbill. It’ll be making a trip home with me. And so will the Lucky Scars. Both are excellent a beers. Tonights lineup... I’m finally figuring out that I’m not a huge tropical IPA fan. I just can’t seem to distinguish the flavor. It tends to blend into a melded bitter hop with no distinguishing characteristics. The WW Pernicious is very tasty. A bit more subtle, but tasty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
