kind of funny that my first post back is going to basically be an advertisement however the brewer s plate is totally worth it and i m going again this year so i feel like that s okay if you want to read about my experience last year just go here there are some pictures along with my thoughts the event itself is fantastic with a ton of great food and a ton of beer and just a lot of fun at this point tickets are 65 for regular admission and 135 for vip i definitely think the regular admission is worth it and the vip seems better this year than last so if you have the extra cash go ahead and splurge read more posted by rich isaacs at 12 50 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels brewer s plate friday january 24 2014 fiftyfifty eclipse 2011 grand cru verson i have a few bottles of eclipse left on the shelves downstairs but can never remember what version each is since the only defining feature is the color of the wax i usually don t find out until i take a sip try to figure it out then look it up on fiftyfifty s website here note i m usually wrong and feel dumb but oh well this time i took a sip and swore it was the brandy version turns out it was the grand cru version from 2011 maybe it had some of the brandy blended into it as it was a blend of a bunch of the variants let s go with that so i feel less bad about my guess very sweet almost cherry like nose it was the fruitiness that really threw me as i thought it was brandy some chocolate and fudge add complexity to it as well very nice body thick and chewy which was sort of surprising i ve had other eclipse s that were a bit thinner than i like so this was nice body had a vanilla bourbon and chocolate sweetness with a very light alcohol burn in the finish between the strong chocolate and vanilla flavors and the chewy body this was really good quite enjoyed this on a separate note i still have a pretty big backlog of beers right now i also want to talk about my trip to jackson hole wyoming before it s too far in the past hopefully some of that will occur next week but we ll see i guess posted by rich isaacs at 1 05 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels fiftyfifty imperial stout friday january 17 2014 goose island gillian i have quite a back log right now so i m going to try and work through at least some of it that means i actually drank this a while ago which was apparently december 6th according to the date on the picture but whatever i ts not like my notes go bad gillian is a sour saison brewed with strawberries and peppercorns and possibly a few other things and then aged in used wine barrels pretty complicated beast one fun trivia fact is that the experimental name was scully which if you ve ever watched the x files scully was played by gillian anderson get it scully gillian okay maybe only nerds will think that s neat but it totally is spicy peppery nose with some light fruit and a bunch of oak body was similar starting off lightly peppery almost bitter followed by strawberry oak and a little white wine flavor as i drank more the bitterness faded like it usually does and the strawberry and wine notes really came to the front very tasty beer with the only real negative being the price not sure what the going rate for it is in philly but it easily could be 35 or 40 given the usual markups knocks it down a few pegs for me just because for that kind of money i could get other beers still glad to have tried it at least once posted by rich isaacs at 9 58 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels goose island saison thursday january 16 2014 port brewing santa s little helper i may not be writing as much but i am still making my mostly weekly visits to kite key they ve been varying a bit between tuesday and thursday but that s mostly depended on the weather regardless i ve still been going each week so that s something this visit i ordered the port brewing santa s little helper an imperial stout nice chocolate and coffee nose definitely my style of imperial stout nice mouthfeel too it wasn t oily but was still a bit thicker if that makes sense body was full of chocolate and roast with a light citrusy bitter finish i m not sure others would get citrus and instead some other flavor of bitterness but that s how it presented to me quite an enjoyable imperial stout and something i d order again i know i ve seen barrel aged versions of this but feel like i ve heard complaints about it not sure but it feels like it would be good after tasting the base who knows posted by rich isaacs at 8 42 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels imperial stout port brewing thursday january 9 2014 paul s amber ipa still trying to work out the timing for writing more posts but we ll see what the new year brings to start things off i m going to talk about my buddy s first attempt at homebrewing i could have chosen something more available i guess but what s the fun in that paul called it an amber ipa mostly because of the recipe he followed masking tape label and nothing else so homebrew in all seriousness the tape came off easily so it s a perfect label as it makes the bottle quickly reusable as for the beer it was well definitely a first attempt at homebrewing still i wasn t upset to drink it pretty sweet caramel nose with a hint of chocolate pretty thick body almost a little syrupy body was sweet caramel with no real bitterness to clean it up basically it just felt a bit under attenuated aka not fully fermented the thick body with the very sugary flavor kind of implies that funny enough though this was still better than the majority of beers jo and i had at amherst brewing company a while back so go paul posted by rich isaacs at 10 48 am 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels american amber ale paul friday december 20 2013 one last post before christmas okay things have definitely been very quiet on the rich on beer front we ve changed our morning routine to feed pax breakfast which is a ton of fun but it doesn t leave me a ton of time to relax and get in the writing mood since i m not a writer by profession or really talent it takes me a while to get words on to the screen or at least interesting words i ve still been drinking new beers all the time don t get me wrong just haven t written anything for a while today to get one more post written before the holidays i m going to go back a few weeks and post about deschutes the abyss from 2010 lots of bourbon vanilla notes in the nose medium mouthfeel on it body was full of licorice and roast with the bourbon and vanilla taking a back seat compared to the nose some molasses sweetness came out as i drank more rounding things out pretty nice though the mouth feel could have been a little fuller and the bourbon vanilla stronger in the body still definitely glad i drank it i actually opened this because the friday before i went to jose pistola s for the deschutes beer camp lunch and it made me want to try an older abyss muller distributors paid for my lunch there too which was cool i think i still have two more years of abyss in the basement that i will get to at some point also i m going on vacation now so look for some posts in the new year hopefully a little more consistently we ll see posted by rich isaacs at 2 54 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels deschutes imperial stout wednesday november 27 2013 dock street abt 12 jo and i were recently at dock street after a fun trip to the zoo with paxton and the phillytapfinder family and i saw they were selling bottles of this i m a sucker for quads and so decided i needed to try it at 12 it wasn t too expensive either also i m pretty sure this was a scott morrison beer and his belgian style ones were usually quite good so it seemed worth the risk if you want to try anything by him he s actually now at the barren hill brewpub nose was a mix of caramel a little apple and some sugary sweetness really nice and inviting body followed with lots of caramel some plums apple and finished with a slight alcohol burn medium mouthfeel not thick but not thin either quite delicious especially as the alcohol faded by the time i finished the glass i haven t had a genuine belgian quad in a while and so really enjoyed this definitely glad i bought it posted by rich isaacs at 2 58 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels dock street quad thursday november 21 2013 founders breakfast stout at kite key revisited i ve definitely written about breakfast stout before even written about having it at kite key but i m going to revisit it because it s been a while of course now that i ve linked you to the previous post i do have to make sure i don t just write exactly the same thing founders breakfast stout is an imperial stout made with coffee and chocolate nose was really nice with lots of chocolate and espresso coffee with some roast bringing it all together body however was super bitter at first with just a little coffee and minimal chocolate i was actually surprised at how bitter it was luckily as i drank more and it warmed up a bit the bitterness fell to more reasonable levels and i started tasting more of the coffee maybe out of a bottle it s not quite as bitter but this wasn t quite as good as i remember oh well tastes change and all that posted by rich isaacs at 3 02 pm 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels founders imperial stout friday november 15 2013 firestone walker double dba at kite key i actually thought this was going to be a repeat post as i swear i ve had double dba before but i didn t have a picture of it yet so i guess i was wrong kite key was pretty great this past tuesday as they still had a whole bunch of firestone walker leftovers from the craft beer express on saturday pretty surprised about it but a win for me since i ve had sucaba aka abacus a whole bunch of times i opted for double dba a bourbon barleywine though i d argue it s not really a barleywine but a mix of stronger styles surprised it s not listed as an american strong ale it s a little darker than in the picture since i had to use a flash to take it but it gives you an idea really smooth caramel and sweet boozy nose very inviting body was similar with tons of caramel and vanilla with a little bourbon flavor to top things off just a very delicious beer though some may find it a bit sweet don t get me wrong it s not southern tier sweet meaning it ll give you diabetes but the caramel and vanilla are very strong without any real bitterness to balance them posted by rich isaacs at 2 12 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
