Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #164 Oskar Blues Bourbon Barrel Aged Ten Fidy

We’ve reviewed a vertical of Ten Fidy, Ten Fidy by itself, Java Bourbon Barrel Aged Ten Fidy and Rum Barrel Aged Ten Fidy. Now, it’s time for just plain ole Bourbon Barrel Aged Ten Fidy…it’s actually not plain at all…it’s Bourbon Barrel Aged Ten Fidy for christ sakes!

 

Style: Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
Container: 19.2oz stove top can
Glassware: Treehouse Teku’s
Notes: Aged through four seasons and from a blend of the top Bourbons around, this Ten Fidy has morphed into a monster of cranked up flavor. Espresso, burnt sugar, rich chocolate, caramel notes are now driving alongside the vanilla, oak, bourbon from the barrel and been smoothed out during maturation. (12.9%)
Rating: 4.5/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #163 Trillium Dialed In (w/ Chardonnay & Gewürztraminer Juice)

Another variant of Dialed In makes its way to the table! Is it as good as the Sauvignon blanc we reviewed previously? Tune in to find out!

Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: 16oz Snifters
Notes: This iteration of Dialed In is a fresh, juicy Double IPA intensively dry hopped with Galaxy and Citra. Pouring a vibrant, hazy gold; aromas of white wine, tropical fruit, and citrus swirl around the nose. Upfront flavors of grassy hop, orange juice, and pineapple coincide with vinous notes from the mid-fermentation addition of Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer juice. Soft and creamy with moderate bitterness; Medium-Light bodied with a crisp, dry finish. (8.5%)
