I've been whining about Sucaba, and calling every week to see if it's in, and ... no dice.
I've gotten some mixed messages from the guys there, from "any time now" to "we hardly get any, anyway" to "well, maybe later in the Spring" ... but I know I got it around now last year, though I can't remember the precise date.
In any case, I've got Boulevard's Dark Truth stout at home to drink, and another special bottle for a special occasion: Hailstorm's Vlad the Conquistador, an imperial stout aged in tequila bottles with chipotle, ancho, and guajillo chilies, cinnamon, cocoa, vanilla, and agave. Yes, that's a lot going on. But I trust them.

No Sucaba yet, I may have to give up?
Meantime we had Boulevard's Aztec Chocolate imperial stout tonight and it's still amazing.

Yeah, it's stuff like that that makes me want to avoid crazy beer releases. People go crazy over this shit. I might some day be tempted to line up for Bourbon County Stout, but that's done in a fairly orderly fashion around here. And I mean, I love Sucaba, it became a tradition for me, but ... there's so much good beer out there. My world is not going to collapse if I don't get a bottle. I can live without ever drinking Bourbon County Stout or Dark Lord or whatever. It's okay.

Angry Orchard Old Fashioned - I think of Angry Orchard as a reliable, everyday kind of cider. Something affordable and good to have in the fridge when you just want something sweet and refreshing. As a brand, the hit percentage is a little higher than other stock ciders like Ace or Woodchuck, especially with their more tricked up ciders such as the Cinnful Apple and Apple Ginger, and occasionally they even achieve greatness. If you've never quaffed of their Cider House Collection - Strawman, Iceman, The Muse - you should seek them out the next time you have some luxury bucks to spend. (At $15-16 for a bomber, these truly terrific ciders always feel just out of reach.)
Recently Angry Orchard introduced their Orchard's Edge series. Not as big or pricey as the Cider House Collection, these ciders come in traditional 6-packs and drink more like their stock series, only enhanced with more challenging, unexpected flavors. Last night I tried the Old Fashioned, a sweet apple cider aged on oak with dried tart cherries, orange peel and charred bourbon barrel staves. I know nothing about mixed drinks and so did not realize that the name and flavor profile comes from the like-named cocktail, and indeed, this cider is complex. The sweetness is balanced by tingling tart cherry at the front, and then the taste quickly melds into a faint oak-y vanilla and a surprising boozy-ness. Like if you took an Old Fashioned cocktail and mixed it with apple juice, but like, in a good way. The booze quality and inherent complexity restrains that refreshment quality I associated with Angry Orchard ciders, but it's a worthwhile experiment that I liked a lot.
Green Flash Tangerine Soul Style IPA - While terrific IPAs come from all over this great land of ours, Green Flash really defines the style for me. Big, bold and bitter, when it comes to IPAs, I'm a West Coast man all the way. While of course I have favorites - Imperial IPA, Palate Wrecker - I always get excited to taste any IPA when Green Flash is on the label. Which is maybe why this beer is a little disappointing. Right now citrusy IPAs are very much in vogue, and the Tangerine Soul Style is nothing if not a paean to the style, but it has an unbearable juice quality that adds unwanted heft to the body, and rather than a mere suggestion of tangerine sweetness, it punches the mouth with a whole bushel of fruit.
Normally what I applaud about Green Flash is their mouth-punching ability. Their IPAs are some of the boldest, bitterest I know, and I love that about them. Here the balance is off. Too much tangerine, too much body, and a repellent pith-bitterness that doesn't play well with the more floral, piney, resinous hop bitterness that otherwise defines their style. It's a miss.

I love a good cider but I don't want it to be too sweet, and Angry Orchard tends to be pretty reliable. We tried The Muse once for a NYE sparkler and I thought it was solid - you're right that the Cider House ones seem a little too pricy for a Friday night drink. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the Orchard's Edge, even more now that you reviewed this one As a side note, if you're a cider fan and like cinamonny-spicy flavors, McKenzie's Seasonal Reserve is a great fall cider. I think Vandermill is solid and I love Virtue Cider (I don't know if they distribute around you?). I also really love VanderBush, a Greenbush Brewery tripel blended with Vandermill cider, but I'm not sure how widely Greenbush is distributed either. (LOVE Greenbush, but they're not a cidery...)

I also really love VanderBush, a Greenbush Brewery tripel blended with Vandermill cider, but I'm not sure how widely Greenbush is distributed either. (LOVE Greenbush, but they're not a cidery...) I'd admire your brevity. I will now write three sentences for your every one. We picked up a bottle of the Knotty Pear as well, but we haven't tried it yet. On description the Old Fashioned seemed more interesting to me, so I went there first. I'll report back, though. Maybe the Mrs. will want to try the pear tonight. Since you've already had The Muse, if another opportunity presents definitely go with the Iceman next. I first drank it at a beer festival and it stopped me in my tracks. I said to Mrs. Snape, "Wow, I didn't know a cider could be this good." At the exact same moment she was trying The Muse for the first time, and said the same to me. Iceman is drier than The Muse, but with a really deep, complex and, I don't know, "icy" flavor. It's hard to explain, but very good. So we actually wondered if McKenzie's had bought Angry Orchard, or if there was a merger or something, because one day recently we noticed that all of the joints we frequent which used to have a basic Angry Orchard cider on tap had switched to McKenzie's. Like, literally all of them. (Kind of like 2 years ago when Angry Orchard pulled the exact same coup on Woodchuck around here.) It's still pretty new to us, but we're liking McKenzie's. The Mrs. bought a sampler 12-pack with 4 flavors: Original, Black Cherry, Green Apple, Seasonal Reserve. I agree with you on the Seasonal Reserve. At first it's a typical, and good, spiced fall cider, but then that buttery crust flavor comes through and makes it something more. Mrs. Snape likes the Black Cherry best, and I agree it's tasty. Sweet, though. Very. Finally, they do sell some Virtue down here, and what we've had is consistently excellent, but it is expensive. Often around $9-12 for a small bottle, not even a bomber. So while we'd love to try more, it's a special purchase kind of thing. Actually finally, I'm also in love with Finnriver, but again, very expensive.

Angry Orchard and McKenzie's have the same owner, but big companies are getting better at hiding that sort of thing. But more likely the distributor offered incentives for switching or something. Appreciate the Iceman rec Yes, Virtue is not cheap, sadly. It seems more affordable on tap weirdly enough. I see big format bottles around here that are in the $15-19 range, so it's more of a special occasion bottle, but I do really like it.

Shmaltz Wishbone "Session" Double IPA - The weird-niks at Shmaltz brewing company definitely live by that old adage of taking one's work seriously, while not taking one's self seriously at all. Consider, for example, the Wishbone, which comes labeled as a "Session Double IPA" and lands at 8% ABV. Since the beer is hardly sessionable at that heft, perhaps the moniker is meant to convey the flavor. Crisp, light in body, refreshing. Their own language on the website suggests this. Me? I think Shmaltz are just a bunch of weird dudes and dudedettes who do this kind of crap for fun. Fortunately, they make some good beer along the way.
And Wishbone is very good indeed. While yesterday I praised the West Coast style of IPA, this seasonal offering from Shmaltz is a stellar example of what the East Coast can offer. Undoubtedly maltier than a West Coast IPA, Wishbone has a fine sweetness balanced by a East Coast-style hop bill: Warrior, Calypso, Crystal, with a little Citra since that's all the rage. There is some citrus here, but the dominant hop flavors are pine, resin and funk, which balance well with the malt. This is the kind of IPA that Dogfish Head's base IPAs want to be. It's like a really good version of the DFH 60 Minute.
Founders Azacca IPA - Speaking of citrus, Founders Azacca IPA boasts huge citrus and tropical fruit notes and has fast become one of my favorites of the style. Key to its success is its signature azacca hops, relative newbies to the hop world, which bring the distinct flavors and aroma of mango, black pepper, tangerine and pine all in one. The Azacca IPA is a little sweet, a lot bitter, and knows to stay out of the way of the hops, so those bright flavors can come through. At 7% ABV it's imminently drinkable as well. It would be scary-easy for me to crush a 4-pack of this without even realizing it. Or 6-pack? Whatever size packs this comes is, that's the serving size.
Southern Tier 2X Presso - With their Blackwater series, Southern Tier produces some of my favorite mid-reputable imperial sweet stouts. The whole series - Choklat, Mokah, Creme Brulee, Warlock - is sweet, satisfying and surprisingly delicious. Their standard series stout, the 2X Stout, on the other hand, is just okay. So I'm pleased that they've made some big improvements with the 2X Presso Stout, a double milk stout using the same base amped up with espresso beans and lemon peel. The body feels a little heavier, with a smooth, silky mouthfeel, and it wears the coffee loud and proud. What's surprising to me is that lingering citrus flavor from the lemon, entirely in the back. It plays great with the pronounced bitterness. Not as sweet as you might expect from a milk stout, and certainly not as sweet as anything from the Blackwater Series, this is a coffee stout I could drink for a long time.

Tried the Orchard's Edge Old Fashioned last weekend, and it was delicious. I want a whole six pack. Haven't tried the pear one yet. We did finally try the Knotty Pear. We liked it! It's less sweet than the Ace Pear, but still sweet, with a certain something quality from the cardamom. It wasn't exactly cardamom to us, not near so floral, but there was a lingering complexity which was nice. It's also more drinkable than the Old Fashioned, which I found to be more of a sipper due to the bourbon heat. Good pear(-flavored) ciders are much harder to come by than apple, and this is a good one.

I got a whole six pack of the Orchard's Edge Old Fashioned a few weeks ago - and a free spiffy cider glass!
And now I have a six pack of a coffee blonde ale called Bean Flicker at home. Yes, that is a reference to what you think it is.

Here is what I have to drink at home this holiday/birthday weekend:
1 bottle of Orchard's Edge Old Fashioned 5 cans of Bean Flicker 1 bomber of New Belgium Blackberry Barleywine 1 bomber of Hailstorm Vlad the Conquistador, an imperial stout aged in tequila barrels with chiles, cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla and agave
(I will not drink all of that by myself and I'm sure I'll still have a few cans of Bean Flicker left by Monday.)

Probably have the barleywine tonight and the Vlad tomorrow. But I imagine we'll be hitting Binny's up for beverages for the husband and our friend who's coming, so who knows...

Beeeeeerrrrr....
The Blackberry Barleywine was smooth and fruity and generally just ... drinkable and tasty. The Vlad the Conquistador was boozy, with a tequila bite, and a smooth chocolatey spice behind it. Really delicious.
I also got a 4-pack of Tallgrass "special" beers and had a Wooden Rooster, which is their barrel-aged tripel and was really yummy.
And now I've had enough booze and chocolate to last me a few weeks.

Southern Tier Choklat Oranj
Southern Tier's Blackwater series of super sweet, high gravity stouts tends to be a favorite of mine. The Choklat, Warlock and Creme Brulee are all winners for me, so whenever a new one enters the family, I'm eager to check it out. As you might guess, Choklat Oranj adds orange peel and maybe flavoring to the base Choklat. The verdict: really good. This is definitely still the Choklat, with the orange playing mostly in the back.The overwhelming flavor is of sweet chocolate and roast, with little bitterness. The orange comes through distinctly - there's no confusing this for just the Choklat - but it's not so pronounced as those chocolate oranges that no doubt inspired the beer in the first.
A good sipper for the end of the day. Something to be enjoyed on its own.

Tonight we are going to a beer tasting as part of our town's Lilac Time festival. It's in the park and it should be a lovely night for it.
And we've figured out something to do while our cruise ship is in St Thomas next month - we're going to the Frenchtown neighborhood to the only nanobrewery in St Thomas - a tiny place called Frenchtown Brewing. Brewery tour at 11 a.m., that's how you know you're on vacation.

As a born and bred Texas, I naturally despise the heat in all its forms, but if there's one nice thing about this season, it's that a cool, crisp beer never tastes better than after a long day of work and hot drive home that my car's AC could never quite tame. Walk in, fix baby a snack, get her started on an activity (okay, so it's TV), grab a beer, crack it, nice long gulp .... ahhhhhh. And THEN start making dinner.

The session IPA craze is out of control, and I haven't had one yet that tasted either a) like an IPA or b) good. I feel like half the IPAs I see on the shelf now are some fruit/tropical session IPA thing. I guess this is how non-IPA fans probably feel about IPAs in general.

I never told you guys about the brewery in St Thomas!
It was so cool. We got there early and took some pictures of the harbor and poked around. Around 11 nobody seemed to be there - it's in a loft space above a restaurant, up some rickety stairs in an alley. We called the number on the door and a lady met us a few minutes later. She's one of the owners. Showed us the brewing equipment, we talked homebrew vs commercial, beer styles, St Thomas, etc. We sampled their three beers - a brown ale, a saison and an IPA. They were all very good but man, that saison was just excellent. Then she gave us more beer. And more. I think she would've just let us drink all day if we'd wanted to.
We bought a t-shirt for each of us and a tank for a friend, she threw in some free coasters and gave us a discount. We stumbled down the stairs and went to eat lunch and I had fried fish that was freshly caught from the bay right there.
-------
In other news, while I am thrilled by the wide variety of American and even very local beer available around here, I was a little bummed out to discover our local big box liquor store no longer imports Brouwerij de Molen, an awesome brewery in the Netherlands.

I'll likely be there again in the next couple of years, living in the arctic tundra makes the Caribbean very attractive from about October to May.

Frenchtown is really cool, it was nice to see that part of Charlotte Amalie. They also serve their beers at a few restaurants in town.

Frenchtown is really cool, it was nice to see that part of Charlotte Amalie. They also serve their beers at a few restaurants in town. My bad! Just noticed you'd posted it previously upthread. Sounds cool, will def check it out next time I'm by. Thanks for sharing!
