Rory Martin is drinking a Double Barrel Beyond Good & Evil by Hill Farmstead Brewery
Solid. A bit subtle for me. Finding some of these recent HF stouts not quite as impressive as the description would suggest. Still, authentic rich maple notes without overpowering sweetness. Stout base roasty with low barrel influence to me.

Rory Martin is drinking a Barrel Aged Blue Suede Shews by Pips Meadery
Beautiful. More complex than the non BA version. Amazing cashew and blueberry balance, with more honey presence than I recall and a dry, tannic finish with a bit of heat. Near perfection, just hoped for a body/thickness more similar to the OG.
Rory Martin is drinking a Triple Eugene's Axe by Fidens Brewing Co
Big bright pineapple forward IPA. Great batch.
Rory Martin is drinking a Jasper With Luminosa by Fidens Brewing Co
Very nice Jasper variation. Got the usual citrus, but Luminosa seemed to add a dank overripe tropical dimension to it. Very hoppy.

Sensational, thanks Abishek D. Have wanted to try this for quite some time. Rye whiskey smoother and more integrated than the single barrel rye version, albeit less distinctive. Maybe due to age. Beautiful dark chocolate and dark fruit on the palate too.
