I forgot to mention in my last post that Cole and I did a back-to-back tasting of Blackacre Buttes #1 and #2. As expected, #2 was considerably more flavorful, but #1 was lighter bodied and way more reasonable as a session beer. As an experiment, we tried mixing the two together, which yielded a pretty good result with the best qualities of each brew.
We also cracked open a Seven-Eleven Porter, though it had only been a week in the bottle. Roasty, dry, a little astringent; it really tastes more like a stout than a porter. With its body, it could probably use a little higher alcohol content to balance out its utter darkness. More time will probably help it, too.
