Old Stock Ale
Wow, I feel like I'm drinking Brandy or something. This feels more like hard liquor than a beer. I know that the Beer Advocate has given this an A- but I'm just not feeling it. I read where one guy let one sit up for like 3 years and then drank it and it was awesome. Maybe I need to forget about it for the next few years and leave it in my cupboard. It is 11.5% ABV and way sweet. I guess that all this double fermentation to get the ABV up so high really pushes these "beers" into a whole other category. Like Bine, or Weer. It seems that the more natural way to brew a beer is the best way. The caramel is way over the top. Not a big fan of the North Coast Brewery Co. I think I liked Old Rasputin better than this.
Leaving it with a small 2 monks.
