This, is 903 brewery's sasquatch Balcones barrel aged stout.. this is probably the best texas beer I've had the pleasure of consuming.. has everything the original chocolate stout has to offer and about 100 times more. Very dark, thick and viscous, creamy, smells of roasted coffee beans, and a Bourbon soaked sweetness at the tail end, in perfect marriage with the chocolatey finish! Enjoying this the first day it was released on 1/28/2016, and I plan to age one for at least a year, maybe the full 5.. we shall see! — 10 years ago

I cannot believe I forgot to review this, had this so many times, maybe I did review it, just do not see the post, anyway, this is Stone's session IPA, what that means is, it is a lighter version of a IPA, most have 6-7 % alc/vol, this 4.5%, they use a hop bursting process, adding late addition dry hope at the end, big tropical notes and flavor, mango, passion fruit, pineapple, excellent beer, when you do not want to be blown away, but still want a hoppy fruity IPA — 11 years ago

Okay, so this is a beer not a wine. Nevertheless, it is yummy and I want to remember it. Light like an Asian beer in a good way. — 11 years ago

Incredible and what good value. This almost drinks like a cider or a very dry sour beer. Great acid and incredibly food friendly. Paired this with Hawaiian style garlic shrimp and it was perfect. I would keep a bottle of this on hand at all times because it is that unique and great. — 12 years ago

WOTN at community wine and beer (what's that?) fest. Parked ourselves and our tickets in front of the rep and "re-tasted" several times. Smooth tannins with even notes of red current raspberry. Made the night enjoyable! — 9 years ago

Sunday night beer butt chicken & Chevillon - good times! This NSG was big, full of dark sauvage fruit and a little rustic. It reminded me more of good quality Marsannay than fancy producer NSG. — 9 years ago

Freedom to make and unmake.
Carussin's the name of the winery, does exist since 1927, it is located in San Marzano Oliveto (Nizza Monferrato/Canelli in Piedmont). I must admit that last and actually only time I drank this bottle I was a little too suspicious and off-guard.
First "faux pas" of this wine is the crown cap; second is a Nebbiolo from which quite often in Langhe they produce bigger than life, costly but sometimes stuffy if not out-of-date-too-modern Barolo and Barbaresco; third is that despite the over strenght and potential of the grape - friendly cracked open like a cheap bottle of beer - though here what we've got from the start in the glass it is a ready to drink beverage full of vigor, rich in juice, very well balanced in structure and plesantness probabily due to the evidence of that clear and practical winemaking tecniques: natural fermentation, unfiltered process with no added sulphur.
I thought three titles for this review, although in the end I chose another one:
1. Nobly simple
2. Praise of imperfection
3. Predetermined disharmony http://www.carussin.it/ — 10 years ago

I wonder if the purple label is a reference to grape must in this #moderntimes #saison...#PinotGrigio grape must... tastes more like #albarino or #grunerveltliner to me. #craftbeer — 10 years ago

The guy next to me thought I poured him martinelli's and said it reminded him of Michael's Art Supply Store. No use in comparing this to rose champagne or anything prestigious and reputable. This is ridiculously enjoyable, better than beer if you're in a girly mood or just had enough pale ale for the day. If somebody had made strawberry water and carbonated it this would be that. I feel like that may have been said a million times already but since no one's actually doing that it's okay and the insanely cheap price tag on this will help you feel like it's okay and that Francis Coppola didn't spike this with with a heap of sugar before putting it in the bottle. Low rent, low expectations, adequate and creatively perfect results. A good date, easy, and at least the kissing is juicy and enjoyable. — 11 years ago

Session time! Smooth and clean as watermelon rind with a carrot cake muffin on the side, nose wise. A mousse like grand cru bubbles. Slippery lacing, so just iodine deficiency on the glass, at best. Sweet carrot in sugared lemon water, yellow strawberry, white raspberry, red grapefruit, soft lemongrass bready and doughy at times, but airy like angel food. Just the beer for a late night after a long day. No need to contemplate further. — 10 years ago

To talk about Raboso is to talk about the Republic of Venice. We go back to the 697 ad. The Raboso grape grown in the area of the river Piave was a wine with deep red color, acidic, alcoholic and strong with tannins. The vivid herbal flavour was impossible to tame. It was perfect for venetians, to make the water (barely) safe to drink, for the hosts to sell, and to make a profit, since they could cut it with water (illegally) with no notice from the customers. Antonio Bonotto with his love for tradition and enormous passion for wine succeded in something unexpected... To make a wine that goes back to the dark ages which was barely drinkable, in todays standards, into a Great wine. Intense and pretty complex. With flavours ranging from spices, black pepper, almonds, nutmeg, leather, chocolate, blackberry, cherry liqueur .... You can feel Marco Polo's distress and the struggle of those harsh times but translated into a modern, concrete and intense wine. Like venetians are. Easy to fall in love and easy to put up a fight...Is this wine perfect? Was Bette Davies beautiful in todays standards? Was a 1968 Ferrari Daytona a reliable car? I guess not. But man... That's bleeding passion.. And I just love it for that. — 10 years ago

The one and only, Pliny The Elder, hard to find if you are not here on the west coast, King of the IPA's , is it worth all the hype and trouble, I would sincerely say yes, you are still a beer geek virgin if you have not had this, it is so well balanced with big hops, citrus and tropical notes,truly a remarkable beer, there other beers that come very close to this perfection , but fall just slightly below the high bar this beer has set, I have this on tap at my favorite brewery, if you follow my posts you know where that is, now Pliny The Younger, that is a little more hard to get, you need to buy a ticket for that, after a few times, I got one, will review that one soon, the best way to get this beer outside of the area it is brewed in, Soma, is beer trades with other beer geeks, I will trade this for Hop Slam, Heady Topper, Zombie Dust, those are some of the more popular trades from West Coast to East Coast beer geeks, well worth seeking out, not impossible to get, not like the "Younger" — 11 years ago
