Jan Biega is drinking an Expedition Stout by Bell's Brewery at Untappd at Home
Batch 8183 which, as far as I can tell, was bottled Nov 2008. Opened Dec 2023. This aged spectacularly well over 15 years. Flat and slightly raisin-y but still chockablock full of espresso, fudge, hop resin, roasted malt. Rich, decadent, hall of famer.
Jan Biega is drinking a Crikey IPA by Reuben's Brews at Lumen Field
Ample mouthfeel, almost chewy finish and pronounced hoppiness live up to the expectations set by its dense, sludgy appearance. Honeycomb and marmalade mingle nicely. Solid IPA.
Jan Biega is drinking a Superfuzz Blood Orange Pale by Elysian Brewing Company at Lumen Field
Too bready and tad too sweet to have the proper citrusy refreshment and lacks any acidity from blood orange. Hop profile has leafy and herbal in equal or greater measure than citrusy so the whole thing just doesn’t work as it should in my opinion.

Filled 2019 (four years old) and drinking really nicely still! Plentiful in mocha and fudge notes, hints of chocolate brownie and black licorice and balanced by rosemary and lemon rind from an ever present hoppiness. Really, genuinely impressive!

Bottle
07-08 vintage. Opened Dec 2023. Having aged 15 years this has changed curiously, impressively little at least insofar as flavour profile and intensity goes: Chocolate truffles, zambuca, espresso beans, mesquite oak chips This is forever decadent stuff.
