They finally bottled it! Does it live up to that 2oz pour I had a few years ago! Reid joins me this week because Mike wasn’t around but let’s be honest, he would hate this beer.
Style: Maple Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
Container: 750ml
Glassware: Darkling

We got our hands on a can of Idle Hands latest DIPA, Six Seam! We fucking loved Four Seam so let’s see how this fairs.
Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: Snifters
Notes: Six Seam was produced with a focus on Mosaic® hops, which helps deliver the smooth, pillowy mouthfeel and reduced bitterness characteristic of New England IPAs. The taste delivers strong notes of peach, apricot, mango, and pineapple. A subtle spice character from the use of rye complements the increased hopping rates.(8.2%)

If you loved our Congress Street review because of how drunk we were then you’ll probably only be mildly amused with this one. We probably should have double dry hopped our livers so it goes along with the regular Congress Street review but meh.

Glassware: Snifters
Notes: This amplified version of Congress Street IPA is a focused exhibition of the Galaxy Hop. Milky and yellow-orange in appearance, Double Dry Hopped Congress Street emits fragrant aromatics of mango, pine resin, grapefruit, pineapple, and peach (7.2%)
