Went to Toronado Barleywine festival with Sanfrancrisfro and Key-Z. They had 57 damn syrupy beers that they sold by the oz. - 3, 6.5 or 11 oz pours. We tried 11 between the three of us, most pours being 3 oz.
We liked:
Russian River Old Gubblillygotch 2001 (yeah, Vinny)
Sierra's Bigfoot 2003
Lagunitas Gnarleywine 2003
We didn't like:
Alaskan Big Nugget 2003 (one of the competition winners)
Oggi's Colossus (butt)
Drake's (candy shoppe)
No real opinion:
21st Amendment
Speakeasy
Stone
Ross Valley Old Sobriety
Mad River John Barleycorn 2004
After all this we really needed some hops or some pancakes to go with our syrup so's we each had a round of Pliny the Elder (Vinny again!)
