NotGreatBob is drinking a Beer : Barrel : Time (2020) by Side Project Brewing at WGN Weather Center
Beer simply doesn’t get any better than this. Incredible aroma, and the smoothest blend of chocolate and barrel throughout. I’ve been lucky enough to try some incredible stuff the past few years, and this tops them all. Cheers!

NotGreatBob is drinking a Bourbon County Brand Stout Wild Turkey (2020) by Goose Island Beer Co. at WGN Weather Center
Picking nits, but: Blend > BT > WT > HH. I like this as much as the BT, but for different reasons. Very cool to taste the minutiae between the different barrels while all still being very much BCBS.
NotGreatBob is drinking a Bourbon County Brand Stout Buffalo Trace (2020) by Goose Island Beer Co. at WGN Weather Center
Sweeter and richer than Heaven Hill, far closer to the 2019 BCBS, and previous years, by far. My favorite of the “single barrels.”

Maybe not actually perfection, but pretty damn close. Both Side Project and Casey do this style so well, but what’s interesting is how they each have a unique way of doing it which is evident in the wonderful end result.

Earned the To Go Please (Level 34) badge!NotGreatBob is drinking a Misfits of Reverberance by Burial Beer Co. at WGN Weather Center
These Burial hazies have single-handedly restored my faith in IPAs. This is bursting with flavor, all the best berry and citrus notes from the galaxy and vic secret. Really well balanced - not too sweet, not too resiny, and not at all a lactose bomb.

NotGreatBob is drinking a Coeur de Cuvée (Blend #4) by Side Project Brewing at WGN Weather Center
Merry Christmas Harry! Smooth and perfectly balanced, great notes of fermented grapes along with that hit of citra. Really well done, close to a 4.75.

NotGreatBob is drinking a DDH Ghost In the Machine by Parish Brewing Co. at WGN Weather Center
Finally! Thanks to Eric H. for remembering me on this one. Totally lives up to the hype, extracting an incredible amount of flavor out of just citra in a double. Smooth, aromatic, and delicious without any added lactose or sugar. Impressive!
NotGreatBob is drinking a Funky Blender Preserves Blueberry And Raspberry (09/06/19) by Casey Brewing & Blending at WGN Weather Center
So good, all of the flavor and balance you’re looking for without being too tart or acidic. Thanks Tyler D. for hauling this back. Looking forward to more Casey down the line!

NotGreatBob is drinking a Let’s Keep It Platonic by Boulevard Brewing Co. at WGN Weather Center
Really good, flavorful coffee. Probably the wrong beer to have after two non-adjuncted stouts, but pretty solid. Thanks to Tyler D.

Danny R. has made me a Rev fanboi - this is tremendous, the dark chocolate enveloping the barrel in an absolute perfect way. What a treat!

NotGreatBob is drinking a Postmodern Depictions of Natural Phenomena by Burial Beer Co. at WGN Weather Center
Great expression of mosaic hops, with all of the creaminess, mouthfeel, flavor, and balanced hop bite of the best Hop Butchers. Impressed with my first Burial in two years. Thanks Ben V. for looking out!
Earned the Beer of the World (Level 7) badge!NotGreatBob is drinking a Bourbon County Brand Stout Heaven Hill (2020) by Goose Island Beer Co. at WGN Weather Center
Eventually I’ll need to try each barrel side by side, but for now, this is your standard quality BCBS fare, with a little more barrel and less vanilla notes than previous years. 4.4.
Earned the Hopped Up (Level 28) badge!NotGreatBob is drinking a Junie (Double Barrel) by Transient Artisan Ales at WGN Weather Center
You know you’re getting spoiled with great stouts when this one almost doesn’t get the 4.5. Really well balanced and unique with the salted caramel. Gets just a touch sweet on the back end. Thanks for bringing it back Danny R.
NotGreatBob is drinking a Xtra Dubl Benthic (2020) by Half Acre Beer Company at WGN Weather Center
Wish I had about four or five more of these. Deep layers of flavor and complexity, rich chocolate and coconut rounded out with nice barrel. Thick and balanced extremely well. What an incredible Benthic lineup this year, wow.

NotGreatBob is drinking a Thematic Glow by Hop Butcher For The World at WGN Weather Center
First IPA I’ve purchased since October is a damn good one, perfectly and uniquely Hop Butcher. Creamy stone fruit juiciness. This + 55 degrees and sunny in December has me wishing for summer.
