Episode 461 - Chicago BA Base Stouts Blind

As winter barrel-aged beer releases expand into more adjunct variants and special barrels, you can't overlook the base. For this show, we blind sample six barrel-aged local stouts that are part of a seasonal release lineup - but without any of the added gimmicks. We base our opinions only on the liquid in the glass, and we continue our rich tradition of being terrible at guessing the beers. There are more twists and turns than a high-occupancy vehicle-based action thriller, and we try not to be swept away by the relative viscosity. Hop on board. 2022 Beers Reviewed Blindly (in order of appearance) Goose Island Beer Co. - Bourbon County Brand Stout Revolution Brewing - Deth's Tar Old Irving Brewing - Krampus in the Buff  Temperance Beer Co. - Might Meets Right  Werk Force Brewing Co. - Sleepy Bear Single Barrel Cruz Blanca Brewery - Rey Gordo
