A couple of weekends ago was Bend Brewfest. Great time. And this weekend, "Little Woody"
http://www.woodybeer.com/little/
a celebration of cask aged beers and whiskeys. We went last night, and let me say there was some great stuff there, along with some that I thought were plain nasty. Most beers were in the 6-10% ABV range....
My favorites were from Brew Werks, both the "Schizophrenic Stout" and the "Rabble Rouser Red" were awesome, even if they were some of the "lighter" ones there at appx 8%ABV.
But, IMHO, the best flat out was Boneyard Brewing's "Bourbon Barrel Aged Suge Knite"-
This imperial Stout has been aging for 12 months in Heaven Hill Kentucky bourbon barrels. This aging process allows this full bodied stout to pick up flavors from the wood and bourbon blending nicely with the chocolate, carmel and vanilla notes. 13% ABV
Oh Yeah....
We started the night at a new pizza place, and my son and I split a pitcher of 10Barrel "Sinistor" to start the night. Needless to say, I let Carol drive home after several hours of tasting.
Overall view of the party-
Suge Knight...cant even begin to see through the glass, it's so dark. (You got a cool taster glass too, 4oz. It's going to be my new shot glass!)
