Derek D is drinking a MT Reserve: Modem Tones Imperial Stout Aged in Elias Butte 18 Year Bourbon Barrels by Modern Times Beer at Big Chico Creek Nature Reserve
Stellar representation of what MT can do with base and barrel. Perfect balance of barrel char, subdued barrel heat, and thick stout base.

Derek D is drinking a Velvet Moustache by Urban Roots Brewing & Smokehouse at Urban Roots Brewing & Smokehouse
It has those Revolution-quality barrel notes. Sturdy body, with a subtle sweetness like a quality Port.

Derek D is drinking a Set Break by Brix City Brewing at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) (Newark Liberty International Airport)
I hesitate to drink any beer at an airport that I did not bring myself, but I am stuck here for 7 hours, so here we are. This checks a lot of the boxes. Fragrant, floral aroma. Slightly creamy texture, but with a medium dry finish.

A very mellow batch (especially compared to last year's draft only SFBW batch), but perfectly balanced. Very limited, almost non-existent bite and bitterness. Limited Hop aroma. Way too easy drinking for 10%. "VERY danger ass"
