The boys pop open a bottle of one of their favorite Night Shift brews! This a double mash stout released as part of Night Shift’s Barrel Society program.
Night Shift Barrel Society 2015 #3 – Caravaggio
Style: Stout
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Night Shift 2015 Barrel Society
Notes: (From Site) Double-mash stout aged in bourbon barrels; powerful aromas of chocolate, walnut and tobacco lead to thick, rich flavors of molasses, charred oak, smokey bourbon, and dark roast coffee
Rating: 5/5
We dive into the 3rd offering from America’s first Trappist brewery! It’s Spencer Brewing out of Springfield, MA Imperial Trappist Stout!! Let this sucker warm up and you’ll be in for a tasty treat!!
Spencer Trappist Imperial Stout
Style: Russian Imperial Stout Stout
Container: 750mL corked bottle
Glassware: Spiegelau Stout Glasses
Notes: A massive, roasted, malt-forward American Trappist take on the Anglo-Russo Imperial Stout tradition. Luxuriantly frothy foam, waves of coffee, chocolate and caramel sensations, a generous blend of dark fruit flavors. Intense and robust.
Rating: 3.75/5
We got our very first growler! We’ve got a Oatmeal Stout from Night Shift called Bennington!
We recorded this episode back in February. I wish we released this sooner as Bennington is no longer available. Hopefully they’ll brew it again so you can grab a growler to try for yourself!
Style: Oatmeal Stout
Container: 32oz groweler
Glassware: Night Shift snifters
Notes: (From Website) Oatmeal stout aged with maple syrup. Notes of maple, toffee, and milk chocolate with a delicately roasty finish
Rating: 4/5
Welcome to another Nerdsense Drinks compilation episode!! We’ve edited together Episodes 4 and Episode 5 which are Ecliptic Brewings Canopus IPA and a head to head battle between Sierra Nevada’s Narwhal Imperial Stout and their Barrel Aged Narwhal!
Style: IPA
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.75/5
Notes: Light and crisp. Awesome citrus malt balance. Super smooth. Floral and grapefruit on the nose
Sierra Nevada Barrel Aged Narwall
Style: Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 5/5
Notes: Nose – Bourbon (Duh!) Vanilla, sweeter aroma, caramel and chocolate makes the sweetness. Flavor – Chocolaty and much sweeter with less coffee than the regular Narwall. Lots and lots of bourbon
Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 12oz Bottle
Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 4.5/5
Notes: Smells mellow coffee, very boozy on the nose, cocoa. Taste is dark chocolate, coffee, boozy without a burn in the back
Narwall + Barrel Aged Narwall Blend
Notes: Milkshake or Sweet Stout. This takes the harshness out and it’s extremely smooth. The smell isn’t much but the flavor is great!

Holy crap folks! We are another step closer to BvS. This week the train stops at Bruce Timm’s ‘Superman: Doomsday,’ the first appearance of the titular villain on film. We get an abbreviated interpretation of the classic Death and Return of Superman storyline, and your humble hosts do their best to give you the skinny on the very first entry into the ‘DC Universe Animated Original Movies’ series.
Also covered, albeit briefly, is the DCAU, including Batman the Animated Series, Superman the Animated Series, Batman Beyond, etc.
Finally, Deapool was released right before Valentine’s Day and we let you know whether he stole our hearts, or not.
Check out the newest episode of Nerdsense, and you’ll get your weekly nerdy fix from the nerdiest guys to ever host a podcast. Cheers!
