The NFL off season is in full swing with a nexus event triggered by recent moves by Aaron Rogers and Russell Wilson. Just how much of an impact will this have on the NFL? What were the Washington Commanders thinking when they traded for Carson Wentz? The AFC West is showing itself as an NFL division that is becoming a 4-way rivalry. Will the AFC West become the division to watch in the NFL come this fall? Armari Cooper will also be leaving The Dallas Cowboys. Where is he off to next? I'll also have a pop culture update on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's all here on Brewstilled with a Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout!
Rising from the depths of an obsidian sea to bring about an experience both conceptual and elemental that bends past the traditional, or something: Benthic 2021. To kick off Barrel-Aged DecemberNFT we wade through the cosmic gumbo for this show on Half Acre's big adjunct stout release for 2021. Five variants of the barrel-aged coconut stout are up for review and lead us to the 4PM Shedd Aquarium tour where things get a bit raunchy. Also, we talk about the podcast we would've started at age 15, a Craig soundboard for prank calls, and the symptoms of Fish Can Influence. Ready your decks and watch your hit points, folks. Beers Reviewed Benthic (Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout w/ coconut and coffee) XTRA DUBL Benthic (Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout w/ 3x toasted coconut and 2x coffee) Vanilla Benthic (Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout w/ coconut and vanilla) Rum Coconut Benthic (Rum and Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout w/ coconut) Vampira Benthic (Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout w/ coffee and coconut aged 10-22 months)
Finally ready to recover from Barrel-Aged December™, we assembled a star-studded sequel to last year’s episode, bringing on five barrel-aged beers presented without additional adjuncts. The plethora of bourbon barrels and base beers make for some flavorful variations, and they leave us practically - and almost literally - floored. Also, we adjust to our new ISOs, discuss why Rev’s collaboration choice was genius, consider Half Acre’s barrel-aged beer plan, prepare for the inevitable stout slushie boom, and do a little fudge flirting.
