I think I initially sent Ozzy one, will have to read his review ...
Lots of dextrines remain in that beer - would geyser if infected, so maybe autolysis, although they centrifuge, I think ...Thegreenchilemonster said:Now that photobucket is finally back up...
I was really stoked to try his beer out, because I love RIS, and it has such stellar reviews. The problem is that the beer went bad somehow. It was still carbonated, but tasted like straight up metallic, and like marmite/vegemite, without the saltiness. The aroma smelled like a freshly opened jar of marmite. I know that definitely isn't the way the beer is supposed to taste/smell, so I'm positive it went bad. Really weird.
It definitely went bad. All of the reviews describe it with hazelnut, chocolate, espresso aromas, with dates, cherries, and chocolate in the flavor.FreeportBum said:
I didn't get a single one of those. It literally smelled and tasted like vegemite. If that is was what is is supposed to smell/taste, which I know it's not, then they should start selling vegemite in the US to all of the reviewers giving 4.5-5s to the beer.
It definitely went bad, IMHO.
It's def good ... when 'right' ... real good, lol ...
Wheebz has one! 
I love stouts, and especially big stouts. I can definitely say that this one went bad somehow.grantmichaels said:
The reviews on it are really good, so I'm sure that it's just a fluke. It wasn't a gusher or anything, so I don't know what could have been the direct cause.
So I'm gonna say then yeah I got a bad one too
I sent you that a while back, I thought? ...Ozzy2001 said:

Well, now I have one loaded to crack open later too ...
Zoom out ... think about the BCS's last year, and now perhaps the MZ's going off this year ...

Yeah, holiday spiced a bit ... nice beer.
I thought I'd sent Zhuk before, so you got lucky from the sound of things!

I did like this one. I love tequila, and this has just the right amount of tequila flavor to add a nice kick to the brew. It's pretty malty, but I think the barrel aging smoothed the malt out really well.
Thanks GM!
Thanks GM!
That's a crazy beer, IMHO ...
