Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #222 Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout

They finally bottled it! Does it live up to that 2oz pour I had a few years ago! Reid joins me this week because Mike wasn’t around but let’s be honest, he would hate this beer.

Style: Maple Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
Container: 750ml
Glassware: Darkling
Notes: Canadian Breakfast Stout is an Imperial Stout brewed with a blend of coffees and imported chocolates, then aged in spent bourbon barrels that have most recently been aging pure Michigan maple syrup(11.7%)
Rating: 4.25/5 (Reid: 4.3)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #221 Idle Hands Six Seam

We got our hands on a can of Idle Hands latest DIPA, Six Seam! We fucking loved Four Seam so let’s see how this fairs.

Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: Snifters
Notes: Six Seam was produced with a focus on Mosaic® hops, which helps deliver the smooth, pillowy mouthfeel and reduced bitterness characteristic of New England IPAs. The taste delivers strong notes of peach, apricot, mango, and pineapple. A subtle spice character from the use of rye complements the increased hopping rates.(8.2%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #220 Trillium DDH Congress Street

Glassware: Snifters
Notes: This amplified version of Congress Street IPA is a focused exhibition of the Galaxy Hop. Milky and yellow-orange in appearance, Double Dry Hopped Congress Street emits fragrant aromatics of mango, pine resin, grapefruit, pineapple, and peach (7.2%)
