Back from a Sposborth Tasting Event in Reston over the weekend. We had Coffee Stout, Java Stout, Whiskey Stout, Whiskey Stout II, Belgian Pale, Pilsner, Chocolate Biscuit and most excitingly a Java/Whiskey Blend, which turned out to be a 'gusher' (first ever in fact). Opened the bottle and whoosh it was like opening a bottle of Champagne.To the right is the Sposborth Nugget IPA, which was also tried over the weekend. Not balanced at all: bitter, one dimensional. (The only hops are nugget and the only malt was plain two row pale malt.) Icky.
After all the non-IPA I had over the weekend, I am happy to be drinking a Brooklyn East India Pale Ale. Also note my new glasses, which I label as Irrelevant Beer Purchase No. 3,171. Tastes great to me. Grade A.
