NotGreatBob is drinking a Blend : 2022 by Phase Three Brewing at Phase Three Brewing
Nice blend of barrels, the cognac adds a lot of character. Great body, might like a little more barrel overall for a beer aged 25 months. Still, a real nice treat.

NotGreatBob is drinking a Beer : Barrel : Time (2022) by Side Project Brewing
Still the bar for non-adjunct BA stouts, and perhaps better than ever. A touch sweet if served cold, but as this opens up and warms it yields perfect baker’s chocolate, tobacco, and barrel notes that are as tasty as it gets. An absolute treat.

NotGreatBob is drinking a Bourbon County Brand 2-Year Barleywine Reserve (2022) by Goose Island Beer Co. at Goose Island Brewpub
That’s the best variant of the year and it isn’t close, nor is it surprising. A little bit of barrel, toffee, and vanilla makes this a delicious delicacy for sure. A touch more complexity or char and we’re in the stratosphere here. Really well done.
