Nerdsense – Episode 99 & Nerdsense Drinks Reviews #87
In honor of the big CW DCTVU crossover this week, we decided to have a little crossover of our own! It’s crossover mania!
We crossed over the Nerdsense Podcast with the Nerdsense Drinks Reviews Videocast! It’s a videocast inside a podcast! Nerdsense – Episode 99 & Nerdsense Drinks Reviews Episode 87
Predictably, the conversation goes in a million directions with a discussion about podcasts, our long and storied friendship, and even a navy anecdote that goes nowhere.
The episode even starts with a brand new, full length, beer review of Rogue Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout. Check out the video below! Cheers!
Episode 100 airing Friday December 2nd. Watch our Twitter and Facebook accounts for stream details!

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #86 Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout 2014 Vintage
*Note* We had a camera issue so the last minute or 2 is just audio. Blame Logitech or Apple. It’s one of their faults.
In honor of the true Black Friday, we rummage through the cellar to find our 2014 Vintage Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout! Come along for the journey and watch as we bask in all it’s greatness or not so greatness. We recorded this on Thanksgiving night after some drinking so this may be interesting…
Style: Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
Container: 12oz Bottle
Glassware: Teku?
Notes: nice bourbon wet oak flavor, some dark, bitter chocolate and bitter coffee as well. It’s really rich and smooth with low carbonation, and it rolls off the tongue (14.4%)
Rating: 4.75/5
Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #85 Trillium Deciduous (2016)
Finally! We have a Trillium can grace our table. The lines have been drawn! Mike and I have to give separate scores for this one!
Style: Imperial Brown Ale
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Teku Glasses
Notes: The nose omits pleasant aromas of pine sap, toasted bread and orange marmalade. Deciduous embodies the seasonal transition from summer to winter with an herbaceous lemon and spicy pine aroma balanced on the palate with a hearty, multigrain malt character and clean, refreshing bitterness. Deciduous is medium in body and dry on the finish. (7.5%)
Rating: Shaun – 3.75/5 Mike – 3/5
Nerdsense – Episode 98
Here is the latest episode of Nerdsense. We cover the upcoming CWDCTVU crossover and our opinions on the seasons thus far.
We also cover all the important subjects of the week, including Star Wars Rogue One, the Suicide Squad Extended Cut, and even the reconciliation of Bennifer.
Jonathan returned as our special guest and the drinks were flowing, so the conversation takes some twists and turns for sure. It’s nerdy news the way only Nerdsense can deliver it.
Cheers!

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #84 Spaten Oktoberfest & Night Shift Oldenburg
It’s Märzen vs Märzen! Nah, we really just wanted to do a dual review. No winners or losers here!
Spaten Oktoberfest
Style: Märzen
Container: 12oz Bottle
Glassware: Snifters
Notes: The beer of Munich’s famous Oktoberfest: aromatic, savoury, gold-colored.. (5.9%)
Rating: 3.25/5
Night Shift Oldenburg
Style: Märzen
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Snifters
Notes: Märzen/Oktoberfest style lager with a copper body and nutty, toasty caramel notes. (5%)
Rating: 3.75/5
Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #83 Modern Times Black House (MultiCamera)
Shaun’s solo for this review and he’s drinking a Coffee Oatmeal Stout!
Style: Oatmeal Coffee Stout
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Teku Glass
Notes: Black House is an oatmeal coffee stout bursting with coffee aroma and flavor. Modern Times is one of the only breweries in the world to roast our own coffee, which allows us to be exceptionally picky about which coffees we use and how we roast them. The result is an abundantly flavorful beer that’s incredibly complex and aromatic, with loads of roast character and a chocolate-covered espresso bean finish. Black House is also available on Nitro. So creamy. (5.8%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #82 Haw River New England-ish Oatmeal Pale Ale
Another beer mail from our good friend, Larry! This is a variant of one my favorite beers. It’s a “New England-ish” version of Haw River’s delicious Oatmeal Pale Ale. Sounds right up our alley, right? Watch and find out…or just look at the rating as that will give you an idea…
Style: Oatmeal Pale Ale
Container: 500ml Bottle
Glassware: Night Shift Flutes
Notes: Regular Newlins Pale – Our Pale Ale uses flaked oats to smooth out the bitterness and is fermented with a Belgian yeast to provide layers of fruity esters that play wonderfully with the punchy Crystal & Galaxy hops that we dry-hop with for a more “American” hop aroma & finish (5.2%)
