Tap at Barcade. An above average stout. Pours a charming black with a thick, voluminous tan head. Aroma of well roasted malts and coffee. Flavor packs more of the same. Burnt malts and some smokiness. Hops are detectable in the tail. Full bodied and creamy, this beer is a smooth drink.

Tap at Barcade. I had the 2008 vintage. Very decent but it didn’t live up to my expectations. Everything about the beer was a little light. Aroma of slightly roasted malts and mild coffee. Flavor was pleasant, some malty sweetness, tasty notes of chocolate and coffee. Clean with a hint of bitter bite on the finish. Sort of like a Brownstone with some coffee.

Tap at Barcade. Pours a cloudy, yellow-gold with a strong, creamy white head. Nose of light hops and wheat. Flavor is interesting. Definitely some wheat and yeast, along with nice, malty character. Medium in body with a crisp finish. Some kind of pale wheat beer. I liked it.

Tap at Peculier Pub. Pretty good. Pours a light gold with a medium, pure white head. Nose of earthy malts. Flavor has some light bitterness along with some mildly sweet malts. Medium in body in smooth.

Tap at Barcade. A solid quad. Pours a light red with a fine white head. Nose of slightly funky yeast and sweet fruits. Flavor is a balanced blend of fruits, spice, malt and Belgian yeast. Medium bodied and high in alcohol, this alcohol warms. Sweet and slightly bitter finish.

Rating #1000!!!!! First I have to thank everyone that helped me get here. Thanks to the great guys in the DC crew who bring top notch beers to every tasting. Thanks to the amazingly generous traders out there who helped me get my hands on my own world class beers. Thanks to all of the great beer spots in Washington DC that make DC a great place for a beer lover to live. I bought this bottle back in October 2005 from Shoreline Beverage in Huntington NY. It was the first time I ever paid $20 for a single bottle of beer. Had I known what this would taste like in 2010 I would have bought a case. I took this beer out of my cellar at halftime of the 2008 Superbowl when my team, the New England Patriots, had a slim lead. I put this beer back in my cellar an hour or so later after the Plaxico Burress touchdown. I decided that the right time to drink this would be nearly two years to the day later at the 2010 Sexual Chocolate release. I was thankful to share this with a great crew of friends who came to the release with me as well as a few other Ratebeerians present. The 22oz bottle pours a opaque, oily, viscous black with a creamy, clumpy tan head. Aroma is dark bread, grains, brown sugar, lightly toast, light coffee. The nose is extremely approachable. Flavor is really nice and easy: chocolate, nuts, grains, booze, raisins, oatmeal, sweet, cookie dough. The finish is super smooth with a lasting sweetness. Totally drinkable. Despite a hint of oxidation on the end, this has aged extremely well. It’s almost a textbook example of how good beer can come together with some age. I definitely thing this is peaking now. Kudos to Sixpoint for crafting such an excellent, approachable imperial stout.

On draft at Quality Meats in NYC. Pours a hazy copper-orange color with a fluffy off-white head. The rye stands out against a nice malt balance, piney hops as well. Medium mouthfeel with the rye adding nice structure. Sweet malts/rye with a spike of bitterness that takes away from the overall beer. Very bitter on the finish. I would have liked it to be more balanced.

9th October 2008. GABF. Another brief note because of the madness that is GABF first session! Dark brown clear beer. Malty wheat beer with just a hint of chocolate.
