Whiskey Barrel Aged Double Pecan Porter - Coconut Surprise (2024) from (512) Brewing Company (Austin, United States 🇺🇸)
3 weeks ago
8.8/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 9 Overall 9
Bottle to snifter. Pours black with a thin ring of dark tan head. Aroma of coconut, vanilla, bourbon abs chocolate. Taste is sweet, almost cloying but as to be expected with something like this. Taste follows aroma, bourbon and coconut dominate. Texture is thick but surprisingly thin on the finish. Finish is long with a lasting aftertaste of coffee. Great overall, definitely something I wouldn’t want more than one of.

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 7
Bottle to shaker. Pours a dark brown, almost black with a fizzy cola head. Aroma is root beer - sassafras, vanilla and an odd hint of wintergreen for some reason. Flavor follows aroma, boozy and sweet. Texture is thin and fizzy, similar to a soda. Nice overall. One of the better hard root beers I’ve tried.

Bottle @ home. Pours a dark Coke brown, opaque with minimal tan head. Aroma is pleasant - Christmas spices, brown sugar, dark fruits and booze. Taste follows aroma, boozy and sweet with a long spiced finish. Texture is appropriately thick, carbonation falls on the fizzy side. Nice overall. Definitely a sipper, this would pair great with a winter campfire.

2024 vintage, poured to shaker. Pours a dark amber with a ruby hue and not much head to speak of. Aroma is mild, slightly tart and funky. Taste is very tart, sour cherry and balsamic with some faint woody notes. Texture is relatively thin and quite fizzy. Pretty good overall, I’m excited to try the other bottle I bought in a few years with some more age on it.

Bottle to snifter. Appearance is used motor oil with minimal head. Aroma is boozy, bourbon and fruity. Taste is boozy and leans strongly towards bourbon and grape juice. I don’t get much peanut flavor at all. Texture is thick and rich. Overall great, I can already feel my headache forming tomorrow.

Noche Especial from Grupo Modelo (Ciudad de México / Mexico City, Mexico 🇲🇽)

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5
Bottle to shaker. Pours a clear dark brown with a reddish hue, no head. Aroma is grainy with a hint of green apple. Taste is grainy with a nice caramel backbone and hints of green apple. Abrupt finish. Thin bodied with medium carbonation. Overall, not bad. On par with what I’d expect from Modelo. Drinkable but nothing I’d seek out specifically.
