Ever wondered why a well-aged stout has a unique taste that lingers on your palate? We're about to take you on a tasting journey that unravels the mystery behind this! Starting with a 19.2% ABV stout called Aloha Friday, we delve into its unique flavors, brewing techniques, and how barrel aging and nitrogen infusion contribute to its distinctiveness. It's not just about beer; we also switch gears to the world of bourbon, exploring different varieties, their unique mash bills, aging processes, and food pairings.
Piquing your curiosity further, we came across an IHOP tribute mead that tasted like pancakes. Can you imagine savoring the taste of pancakes, blueberry, maple syrup, honey, and vanilla, all in one go? That's the magic of this mead and we couldn't resist sharing our experience. Then, we bring you a comparison of stouts from our recent brewery visit, discussing the unique flavor of the beer "Blessed" aged in bourbon barrels. And for those who love a bit of adventure, we share our Alaska trip, introducing you to beers that include unique ingredients like black barley wine.
Finally, we explore the dynamic world of microbrews, comparing whiskey varieties like Micro Letter and Kill the King with Grand Reserve, and discussing the diverse flavor profiles that rye and toasted coconut bring. We even touch upon the appreciation for tequila and upcoming rum tasting! But before we wrap up, let us tell you about the comic incident where we ended up stealing each other's drinks. So, gear up for an episode that celebrates the shared love for unique brews, lively banter, and a promise of an unforgettable tasting journey. Also, we're available on various platforms – podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, and YouTube. Follow us on Instagram and keep the love coming!
