This beer starts waaaay better than it finishes, and it really doesn't start all that remarkable. Although too boozy IMO to enjoy by any date, it is not undrinkable at all and it does pack a buzz. Wouldn't buy again.

Fuck, some serious snobbery going on here. Do I need to step up my reviews from generally beer leniency?

Just poking fun at myself. While I think I probably could act like a stereotypical beer snob, I have the knowledge and if I try, the palate, in reality I tend to like or at least appreciate most everything and don't put a huge amount of thought into it.

I think these are starting to be mailed in a little. I've not been too impressed with the last couple.

I have a couple large bottles of the Enjoy After 10/31/16 we're going to have on xmas day, and there's a case of Enjoy After 4/20/17 waiting as well. I missed the first couple.

You may be right. They're tasty but nothing amazeballs.

Speaking of amazeballs, stay tuned to this thread...

Ok, so a while back I just happened to pull up the top rated list on Untappd. I think I was looking to see if anything was available near me. Turns out one of the breweries that popped up a lot in the top 30 or 40 or whatever was a small one in Monson, Mass.

My brother in law is from there.

So I tell him. Next time he goes up he brings back 2 beers, all he could get his hands on. You can only buy at the brewery, they limit how much you can buy, and if they run out before you get any...oh well!

So, apparently for months his dad, who is retired, has been going once a week or so and buying his limit. He is a steak and potatoes and Bud guy, but Kev said he got a kick out of going and socializing with random people who came there from all over the world to get beer.

So, the result. My sis and him went up there last weekend and picked up their haul. His dad did not tell him how much he had gotten. It was $500+ worth haha.

This is not actually from that brewery, but is a random one Kev picked up that is a collabo. Really stinking good.
