Beer of the Week: Abomination Midnight Snack #2

Working through my most recent purchase - probably will polish it off this weekend. I was due to put a stout on here, and fortunately, this week's haul delivered with Abomination Midnight Snack #2.
Description: Extremely rich beer. It's basically chocolate fudge in a glass. A sipper for sure, but it'll get you there anyway.
What you should know: There's a tiny hint of booziness in this one too, which is probably good, since it's 13.2%. It was the first beer I had that night, and even at that point, I only detected a slight hint of the booze, so be careful. This is only the 2nd beer I've had from them, but both were over 11%. 
Recommendations: Pace yourself. Usually with stouts this big, I suggest splitting them with someone else, because they can become a drag by the end. I don't have any such qualms with this bad boy. You'll want every last drop, just be prepared for the kick later.

Beer of the Week: The Rare Barrel Soakin' Up Rays

New batch of beers, and I've been quite happy so far, but the best one I had was actually from the previous batch (and I can't imagine any from this batch being better): The Rare Barrel Soakin' Up Rays. 
Description: Unreal. Starts pretty darn sour, but a high carbonation level makes that dissipate quickly. The passion fruit and guava kick in hard at the end, making it almost like juice at that point.
What you should know: I've had a couple beers from Rare Barrel recently. Everything I've had has been excellent, albeit fairly expensive. This one was really over the top though, far exceeding anything else I've had. 
Recommendations: If you come across beers from this brewery, don't be scared off by the price; they're worth it.

Beer of the Week: KCBC All Together

Almost done the 38 new beers I got 2 weeks ago (I will be buying a new batch tomorrow). Despite another strong showing from Cold Harbor, nearly making both beers I've had from them into beers of the week, I had to go with KCBC All Together.
Description: Citrus bomb. The super light body really lets the fruitiness shine, yet somehow it leaves you with a creamy aftertaste. Some chemical magic was involved in the making of this beer.
What you should know: Tons of breweries around the world are making versions of All Together (shout out to Other Half for organizing). They all started with the same base beer and put their own twist on it. Proceeds benefit hospitality professionals, whose livelihoods were disrupted by COVID-19.
Recommendations: Support a great cause. If this version is any indication of what the others are like, you will definitely not be sacrificing quality to support the cause.

Beer of the Week: Cold Harbor Juice Freak

Working my way through those 38 new beers I bought last weekend. Had 16 of them since the last post. The best of the bunch: Cold Harbor Juice Freak.
Description: Just a celebration of citrus. Tons of flavor, which is impressive at this relatively low (6.1%) alcohol level. It's not 'tropical', but who needs tropical when you can get this much flavor out of the citra hop.
What you should know: This is actually the first beer I've had from Cold Harbor. I'm gonna have to make a stop on my way to/from Tree House next time.
Recommendations: If you can find this, go for it. I'm excited to try more from them.
