Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #174 Treehouse Green

Shaun finally got his whale. He apparently tried it way back in 2013 but has no idea where or with who. It could have been a whole can to his dome or it could have been simple as a sip. The point is he has no fucking memory of it so to him this is […]

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #169 Alesmith Speedway Stout

I’m thinking Mike regrets doing this. He make’s some great faces throughout this review! Let’s just say the score is Shaun’s… Style: Imperial Stout with Coffee Container: 16oz Can Glassware: Goblets Notes: Speedway Stout’s ominous, pitch-black appearance has become a hallmark of this modern-day classic. Chocolate and roasted malts dominate the flavor, supported by notes […]

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #168 Treehouse That’s What She Said

People legit got out of line, got in their cars and left when Treehouse announced this is what they were releasing the day we picked this up. Sucks to be them. Style: Milk Stout Container: 16oz Can Glassware: Treeehouse Teku’s Notes: A sneakily complex beer, ” TWSS” exhibits flavors of milk chocolate, fresh roasted coffee, […]

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #167 Trillium Big Bird

We captured the illustrious Big Bird. This is the latest beer to come out of Trillium’s hype machine. It’s made with hops they won’t even tell us about it! I wasn’t aware some hops required an NDA… It seems this was recorded with the camera mic vs the mixer mic. It still sounds good though. […]

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #162 Russian River Defenestration

Defenestration!!! A hoppy blonde from Russian River. Sounds like my kind of lady! Style: Hoppy Blonde Container: 375 mL bottle Glassware: 16oz Snifters Notes: This beer is not any particular style, just something Vinnie has been working on for a while. It’s VERY dry, bitter, hoppy, and full-bodied. (6.5%) Rating: 4/5
