For this special occassion, I need some help ....

[MAS_Puros]

Well I am celebrating my 21st birthday this weekend, spending tomorrow with my wife and daughters and Sunday having family over the house for some cake and coffee!

I can't decide what to drink, so I was hoping some of my brothers here on CP could lend a helping hand. :thumbs: :thumbs:

I plan on smoking a Tat RC184 on this day as well!



PS - second picked option I may just drink tonight ... LOL :blush: :whistling:

 

[The Black Cloud]

Where's the "all" option?

Happy birthday, you young buck!

I have a bottle of the Central Waters Barleywine stashed away, so you try it first.

 

[Jamie76]

No Milwaukee's Best? They don't call it the "best" for nothing.

That's too advanced for my palate ... lol

I voted for Black Magick but on second thought drink the CW BBBW and send that Black Magick to me!

You'll never guess what I voted for...

Happy Birthday homelice! Whatever you do, don't torture yourself with that Creme Brulee. :barf:

Oh man, agreed. Happy Birthday!

 

[jfields]

Yep! I was going to suggest you go ahead and sink pour the Creme Brulee before I read Justins post.

 

[Bayamos]

Happy Birthday ! Where's the cigar picks...

Enjoy and get spanked!

 

[kiwifruit]

I'll take the ST Creme Brulee off your hands Mike. So far, loved everything I've tried from ST.

If you haven't had it before, I'd drink the Alesmith 07. Thought that was really really good.

 

[MAS_Puros]

Just got back from the happiest place on earth ... had a great time with the family.

Looks like Black Magick it is .... maybe I should cleanse the palate with a little Temptation, what do you think Justin? Lol

I will put up a review first thing Monday morning

You'll never guess what I voted for...

Really that bad? I heard things like liquid diabetes but nothing that bad.

Chico we will have to try this one night

 

[BitterRat]

Happy Birthday Mike!
Looking forward to that review.

Liquid diabetes is pretty fitting. It makes the cloying sweetness of Choklat seem unnoticeable. If you actually enjoy it, let me know because I still have a few bottles that are all yours.

Hope you had a great Birthday Mike. Cheers to your Bro.

2008 12 oz bottle of Black Magick

Well I had a great time this weekend and enjoyed a nice glass of Black Magick.

Appearance:
Poured into my Stone IRS Tulip ... black as used oil, no signs of light. Minimal carbonation and small mocha coloured head.
Swirled around he glass and you can see the oily slick liquid sticking to the sides of the glass.

Smell:
Right away when I opened it I got a whiff of whiskey and some vinous dark fruits. Almost port like. Vanilla and oak come through once I pour into my glass.
The smells are complex and smooth.

Taste:
On first sip I taste the whiskey(bourbon) ... the heat has smoothened out and just a nice warm feeling when it goes down your chest. A lot of the dark fruits are not as strong as the smell. Most of it is lightly in the background.
Its is very wine-port like with whiskey taking over the flavor.


Mouth-feel:
Very thin, oily like ... not as thick as I was expecting. Doesn't stick to inside of mouth.


Overall:
Well this was a good beer, but not what I was expecting. Very one dimensional and thin. I would almost say it compares to a Dark Lord but very thin and watered down.
Complexity is missing from this one and wondering what it taste like fresh. Overall this was a nice sipper I enjoyed next to our out door fire with a Tat RC184 ... I give this a 7/10.

Thanks ALL!
