Nathan Willems is drinking a Sumi Ink (2016) by Grimm Artisanal Ales at Untappd at Home
Many things I'd rather have. Tastes chalky/burned/ashy. Strong chocolate and barrel.

Nathan Willems is drinking a Bourbon County Brand Stout (2008) by Goose Island Beer Co. at Untappd at Home
Epic check in thanks John. 14 YO beer, still snaps back, still structured, still thick. Lots of barrel and chocolate in this one. Not syrupy or sweet at all. What a pleasure and a fantastic legacy for Chicago. Cheers to you.

Nathan Willems is drinking a Bière Blanche (Blend #4) by Side Project Brewing at Ale Arsenal
Light, refreshing, not too tart. Definitely notice the wine barrel. Good sipping sour.

Nathan Willems is drinking a Barrel Constrictor (Elijah Craig 2022) by Alpha Acid Brewing Co. at Ale Arsenal
On Draft! Cheers to Ale Arsenal. I left it sit for 30 min after the pull. Whopper candy chocolate malt balls prominent, good boozy barrel character. This tastes much better / different than prior years BA Constrictor. Really like this.

Heavy coffee and cinnamon. Not getting much vanilla. Is ok.
