Cherry Adam from the Wood

Beer Luvvas,

This weekend was a HEAVY beer consumption weekend.... So I'll have multiple posts coming in the next few days...

First up: Cherry Adam from the Wood! This is one of the uber-rare beers that I picked up from the Hair of the Dog Dock Sale last month. So unfortunate that I could only buy 2. But @ $10 or $12 for 12oz (I can't remember which bottles were 10/12)...it's not like I was going to pick up a case.

At first I was very nervous that the bottle was bad...very little carbonation created near zero head. But after the first sip of the sweet warmth of this gem of a barley wine, I was no longer in fear of an expensive beer going down the drain.

Needless to say, although I enjoyed the Pinot Noir wine tasting that the ladies set up to kick off this evening of way too much drink, I would have preferred a tasting of multiple HoD aged ales (Fred from the Wood) and barley wines (Cherry Adam from the Wood & Doggy Claws). Although in a sense I was able to experience both!

Prost to Hair of the Dog Cherry Adam from the Wood! Keep raising the bar!
