Hafis was Dead at 12:15. I’m guessing the SK variants last a bit

I'm guessing the $17 price tag had something to do with it. That certainly was for me to stay away. BOYD was $14 and even that was too much for me.Coronaeus wrote:Hafis was Dead at 12:15. I’m guessing the SK variants last a bit
I thought the coffee was excellent. The coconut tasted just like regular SK. Had the coffee on tap at Hafis and a bottle of the coconut at home.Cadbury102 wrote:I love the regular SK this year - had the coconut and the coffee ones at the release/holiday party and I felt that both the coconut and coffee flavours, respectively, were overpowering to the already excellent beer. Perhaps with age it would be better integrated. I passed on the variants.
Ya, that price...woof.roland wrote:I'm guessing the $17 price tag had something to do with it. That certainly was for me to stay away. BOYD was $14 and even that was too much for me.Coronaeus wrote:Hafis was Dead at 12:15. I’m guessing the SK variants last a bit
I tried a few of Bellwoods stuff and although I thought they were decent, I deemed they were never good enough to justify their prices.
I'd rather spend my bucks in replenishing my shrinking stock of Backwoods Bastard.
There are some extremely satisfactory options in stouts and porters right now. Ten Fidy, wow. To Øl Black Ball Porter is just so nice. Stouts like Founders are landscape-changers. Haven't even tried the Yeti yeti, and of course the Great Lakes 30th BBA RIS is stunning (and worth the bomber price.)El Pinguino wrote:$12 a bottle for 500ml is ok for me. At $14-15, it has to be a special annual / one-time brew. Above $15 for that volume of beer, it's not something I expect to pay often, given how many beer options are out there.
The lower priced options must be a big factor. The fact these Bellwoods releases are coming when most people are faced with paying off Christmas credit card bills doesn't help.El Pinguino wrote:Ya, that price...woof.roland wrote:I'm guessing the $17 price tag had something to do with it.

I've heard that from many beer people that the price is just too rich for them. Myself, only 1 of each is enough at $17.

Wasn't a huge fan of the OG SK on tap.. opened coconut bottle this morning, at ~55F, and it's lovely. Really nice. Boozy rum, but not over the top. I wasn't a fan of the OG on tap, as it was a spice bomb, ginger nose, and a lot going on. Well made but not for me.Belgian wrote:There are some extremely satisfactory options in stouts and porters right now. Ten Fidy, wow. To Øl Black Ball Porter is just so nice.

Bellwoods stuff is of course very special when they hit it just right. Same with Burdock. I envy us.
