Modern Times Chaos Grid Double Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout with Figs & Cocoa (Picked up at the brewery itself in Point Loma). A 4 of 4. An incredible amount of things going on in this between the brandy and bourbon barrels, the base beer, and the addition of both figs and cocoa. Yet, it manages to not be discordant. There's a lot of barrel and liquor-like notes in the nose, while you get a lot of roast and chocolate in the body and some faint fig notes. The body is quite oily and sticky, and the complexity lingers on the palate.

Whistle Buoy Brewing Co: Desolate Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
Whistle Buoy Brewing Co: Desolate Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
Whistle Buoy Brewing in Victoria’s Market Square released Desolate in mid-November, a bourbon barrel-aged Imperial Stout. According to the label and website, it is the “first-ever release of our barrel program and is extremely limited”. My bottle was number 177 of 800. It’s encouraging to see that even such a small-scale brewery as Whistle Buoy can still find the money, time, and motivation to…

Tonight is the Minnesota State High School Hockey Championship. It's kind of a big deal here.
My school is one of the teams playing tonight. I'd like to see them win, but if they got blown out 10 to zip I'd find some satisfaction in that too. High school, ya know.
Earlier today I walked around at the Mall of America. It was very busy. People watching was, as usual, pretty good.
On the way home I stopped by the brewery for one. A couple whom Sheila and I know, but haven't seen in a while, were there. I hung out with them. It was nice catching up.
For the game tonight I'm having another beer at home. This is one of Surly's limited Darkness editions. It's 2023 Cold Smoked Cherry Darkness barrel-aged imperial stout. That's a lot of words for a name, so it had better taste good.
It does. Not unlike Angelina Jolie, it is smooth, sweet, dark, and strong (12% ABV). I'm never disappointed with barrel-aged beers, and this one is no exception.
I also bought strawberries off the back of a truck today. Nice looking fruit, good price. My beer was made with cherries but the strawberries deserve a picture too.

415 breweries in the state of Colorado. This one is a mere 20 miles away.
Yes, you’ve read that correctly…14.7% bourbon barrel aged imperial stout. Breckenridge Bourbon barrels for 12 months mind you.
This stuff is absolutely phenomenal, and at $25 a 4 pack (of 12oz cans) it better be.

Night 2 at Billie’s Craft Beer Fest was much better. Still it was not at all how I’d prefer to spend my time. G loved it though so I endured.
BCBF is about drinking American craft style beer, not the traditional styles for which Europe is famous. The format being 50 breweries (several from America) bringing 8 beers each so 400 total over two sessions.
After a fanfare opening, worthy of a professional sports event at 3:00, each brewery began pouring their first two (100 beers) to the masses. Then the second round of 100 beers began pouring at 6:30 until 10:00 or the kegs blew.
Beers were dispensed into 5oz glasses but most pours were 3-4 ounces.
The most common beer type was imperial stout aged in a variety of barrels with lots of added ingredients (adjuncts) like chocolate, fruit, and spices. These beers are strong, mostly 10-15% alcohol by volume (abv) and syrupy sweet. Not my thing.
The 2nd most common beers were double, triple, and imperial IPAs. These are also high abv beers with lots of sweetness on first tasting but finishing with some degree of dryness due to bittering hops. They also featured adjuncts like spices, fruits, etc. Also not my thing.
I drank mostly wild ales (spontaneous fermentation) and soured beers of lower strength of which there were plenty. Even a couple of lagers though each had some non-traditional aspect. On our second night we had both the glass from the first round and second round so we could get two pours at a time. This made a big difference.
G and I never drank our beers inside with the crowd. We carried them outside navigating the crushing throngs into the cold night air. With two glasses this halved the harrowing trips inside. Outside there were live bands, food trucks, and all the smokers. As there was a near constant breeze the smoke was tolerable.
Also, most of the pissoirs (pictured) were outside and they were a marvel. Given the nature of this event, participants were in constant need of…relief. I never saw a wait. It’s the only instance in which European plumbing is superior to American and we must change that!
To be honest, I’ve never witnessed such a large group of people behave so well. I never heard a cross word either night. Of course I overheard very little English spoken by the drinkers unless they were ordering their beers from the brewers. Of course nearly everyone there spoke English.
All event announcements were in English only and all the bands sang mostly English language songs including the Johnny Cash cover band.
The DJ inside played mostly English language standards and anytime someone spoke to us, they switched instantly to English once they knew we were Americans. Quite humbling really but everyone was friendly and only wanted to talk about beer.
I understand most people in this area speak Dutch/Flemish with English as a second language but Antwerp is a city filled with people from everywhere so I heard plenty of Arabic, some German and French, and some speaking to each other in English with accents that made me think it wasn’t their first language.
During my many visits in Brussels I’ve become used to hearing lots of English, but my two days in Antwerp I heard mostly other languages.
Oddly, most signage in Antwerp is in English!
The oddest thing was sitting in a Five Guys after the first night so G could get ballast for his belly full of strong beer. Every bit of signage was in English, down to the excerpts of reviews from American cities. The second night I was hungry so we got kebaps at a place where little was in English but the pictures were multi-lingual.

Today’s side by side was Barrel Aged Stouts. First thing up was Calavera from Zipline Brewing out of Lincoln, NE. This is a barrel aged stout aged in bourbon barrels & brewed with cacao, cinnamon, vanilla & 5 pepper varietals. It was really good, boozy & spicy. Next up was Big Bad Baptist Coquito from Epic Brewing out of Salt Lake City. This is a barrel aged imperial stout aged in rum barrels with Cinnamon, vanilla & coconut. I liked it a lot. Overall it had a fuller flavor. Both of these were worth revisiting.

Modern Times Chaos Grid Banana Cabana Edition Imperial Stout from the brewery itself in Point Loma. A 4 of 4. Incredible complexity on this -- the rum and bourbon barrels add a depth and boozy/oaky edge that helps cut through some of the sweetness. The dried bananas and coconut are nice and relatively subtle alongside quite a lot of roast, coffee, and chocolate. Very enjoyable, and the sticky, oily body doesn't get too cloying over time thanks to the barrel and alcohol.

How do you guys interact with your minor cities? Like the cities of Bristol Tennessee and Bristol Virginia, which are two different cities right on the state line?
Also Florida. What's your favriote beer?
Tennessee looked up from his guitar, surprised, “They’re two different people??”
“You… didn’t know that?” Virginia asked incredulously, “The twins have been around for… years.”
“…That explains… everything…” The Volunteer State blinked, “I thought he just had some form of memory loss.”
“Angry Chair Brewing’s Barrel Aged Imperial German Chocolate Cupcake STOUT!!!” Florida declared with an unprecedented fire of confidence in his eyes.

Tonight I have the house to myself.
All day I played on a computer for work, part of that time wearing pajamas. My wife is still out, working on an ambulance, saving lives.
We both do our parts to make the world a better place!
Recently my sister and her husband gave Sheila and me a bunch of meat from a cow they had butchered. Their neighbors had raised it. That’s an interesting level of knowing what you eat.
Tonight seemed like a good time to break out a t-bone. The sous vide is my preferred way of cooking meat. You really can’t go wrong.
With steaks I set the water temperature to 125°F. The time? Eh, one to four hours; it really doesn’t matter. When you and the steak are ready, it gets seared in a hot cast iron skillet for a short time.
As I cook the t-bone I’ve got a second bag in the bath. This one has potatoes. I have only tried vegetables in the sous vide once before, so I’m winging it tonight. Before I sear the steak I’m going to brown the potatoes briefly in the same pan, with butter and garlic.
Since it will take about two hours for the food to be ready I am killing time enjoying a 2022 Surly Darkness. I love the annual “Darkness” release from this Minneapolis brewery. It used to come in 750ml bottles. This one was a 16 oz. can that sold for $14. That’s for a one-pack!
It’s a “Bourbon barrel-aged Russian imperial stout with ginger, cacao, vanilla beans, cinnamon, and orange zest.” This is easily one of the top five beers I’ve ever had. At 12% ABV, it’s probably good that I was too cheap to buy two of them.
This week I got two new books at the library, one fiction and one biography. Before the Darkness sets in (damn, that would be a good tag line in a commercial) I’m going to read Enemy at the Gates for a while.

Day trip to Loveland and a sculpture park. BYOL at Verboten Brewing. Russian Imperial Stout named “Others in Darkness”. Then the same stout aged for 1 year in French Cognac barrels. 14.6% and 15.5% respectively. Go heavy and hard, or don’t bother going.
