Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #141 Wicked Weed Dark Arts (2016) & Opinion

This ones a little long so bear with us.

We really didn’t plan on doing a Wicked Weed opinion-piece video but we had a bottle of the 2016 Dark Arts in the fridge for awhile but kept putting it off due to whatever reason. I was grabbing another beer to review and saw it laying there. I mentioned it to Mike and he just said “We’re doing it” or something along those lines. I hope you like this review with our opinions sprinkled in here and there. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Style: Wild Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
Container: 500ml
Glassware: Teku’s
Notes: The 2016 version has been aging since Oct 2015 in Rum barrels after being brewed with honey, brown sugar and agave (15%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #127 Evil Twin Even More Jesus

Another solo review as I dive into Evil Twin’s Even More Jesus Imperial Stout!

Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Snifters
Notes: A few times in the history of craft beer it has happened that a highly praised beer rises beyond mortal stardom into a higher godly league. Usually the recipe to make such heavenly drops is thick fudge-like body, pitch black color, amazingly overwhelming aromas of chocolate, coffee, dark fruits and muscovado sugar, obviously only made in limited amounts and most crucial of all – it must taste rare!

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #120 Epic Brewing Son of Baptist (Hogan Brothers Coffee)

This was done mostly to test some new setup stuff which all of you have seen in the last few videos. The audio is from the camera because in my excitement to test new electronics… I forgot to press record on the mixer audio.

Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 12oz Can
Glassware: Snifters
Notes: Designed to highlight the complex and often unique flavors of small batch coffees. Instead of sourcing a coffee that would play well in a beer we sought out creative and innovative roasters, then asked them which beans they’re passionate about. Each resulting release of Son of a Baptist is widely different depending on the coffee selected (8.0%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #115 Oskar Blues Ten Fidy 2016

The behemoth Ten Fidy makes its way back to the table and it didn’t bring any of its ancestors or barrel aged cousins with it. It chose to fly solo and demolish Shaun and Mike’s taste buds all on its own!

Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 12oz Can
Glassware: Nerdsense Snifters
Notes:This titanic, immensely viscous stout is loaded with inimitable flavors of chocolate-covered caramel and coffee and hide a hefty 65 IBUs underneath the smooth blanket of malt. (10.5%)
Rating: 4.75/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #112 Epic Brewing Big Bad Baptista

Mike was unavailable for this recording so our good buddy Larry filled in! It’s probably for the best as Mike would have most definitely hated this beer.

Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Teku Glasses
Notes: Big Bad Baptista is a combination of Vanilla, Cinnamon, Mexican coffee roasted by Blue Copper, and Solstice Chocolate cacao nibs. It’s luxurious to say the least, with a pleasant warming sensation generated by the cinnamon and alcohol. Enjoying the interplay of chocolate, malt, oak, and spice is the perfect way to spend a cool evening, with friends around a fire. (12.2%)
