Bulk_Carrier	4.7 Barrage Yada, Yada, Yada Growler share with Doug and Henry. My portion was poured into a becher pint glass. The appearance was a murky brown color with an eggshell white foamy head. Softly dissipated to leave some messy lace. The aroma had sweet roasted nuts, clean caramel malts, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, some vanilla extract, sweet cracker (somewhat like animal crackers), and ended up having a little bit of dark bread at the end. The flavor took the prior mentioned aromas to blend fairly nice and sweet. Stabilizing little bit of bitterness from the dark chocolate coming in to pull down the sweet tones. Aftertaste slightly reminded me of what happens when oreo cookies meet snickers (just add some booze and this is the beer you’ll get). Finish absorbed the full flavors to steadily possess a spectacular blend of it all. The palate was about medium bodied with a full on effect of the sipping qualities claiming my tongue just the way I wanted it. Carbonation and ABV both felt good. Overall, in Star Wars’ "A New Hope" when Darth Vader is walking on the flight deck next to the Millenium Falcon and he says "I haven’t felt that presence since....." This is that for me, when I first starting liking beer and then realizing brown ales would be my go to style. I would say that this beer specifically is perhaps the end all and be all of brown ales for me. Since I’m a huge fan of this style, if I could die with a glass of this in my hand....pure bliss Thursday, May 11, 2017
Bulk_Carrier	3.5 Barrage Devil's Whisper Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a semi-dark brown color with a finger’s worth of white to off white foamy head that dissipated at a decent pace. Subtle messy clingy lace. The aroma seems to hit upon some sweet coffee notes, somewhat espresso like and then bitter to roasty tones developing into a sly crisp cocoa malt underneath. The flavor seems to hit upon a roasty to sweet chocolatey to cocoa bean-like dryness slyly running into the aftertaste and finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Mild carbonation. ABV felt fine. Overall, well good for me, seems worthy of having again.

Bulk_Carrier	3.6 Barrage Fairy Tale Red Hop Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a hazy deep amber color with a thin off-white head that lasted for a little bit and then as it fell some spotted lace ran here and there. The aroma had some slight caramel/toffee sweetness, just a touch of bready/cereal notes and then some citrusy sweet to bitter hops at the end. The flavor yields to the malts initially and then develops with the hops fairly nice, semi-sweet to slight bittersweetness. Lightly blended aftertaste and finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt fine. Overall, nicely done Irish red ale worthy of having again. Wednesday, April 5, 2017
Bulk_Carrier	4 Barrage Little Tease Thanks Justin. Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a ruddy semi-transparent dark purple color with some carbonation bubbles rising at a decent pace. Mild finger’s worth of white foamy head quickly dissipates. Soft stringy lace. The aroma had some sweet and tart black cherry skin up front, a light peppery sort of spice, some leather and then some earthy to leafiness at the end. Light hay. The flavor fuses the black and tart cherry skin to the peppery spice nicely - sweet to tart to earthy. Nice dry aftertaste of the black cherry skin with grassy and earthiness. Semi-sweet dried malty finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation was felt. ABV felt fine to me. Peppery spice doesn’t get in the way, just seems to add a touch of harshness to compliment the carbonation and just feel great all around. Overall, nicely done saison and with the idea of adding black cherries to this. This little brewery is on my radar now. Wednesday, April 5, 2017
Bulk_Carrier	3.4 Barrage Galaxy Beast Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a hazy to muddy copper/orange color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a fair pace. Sly speckled lace ran here and there. The aroma has some sweet grassy to citrusy qualities coming out over top of a light malt level. The flavor seems to lean towards the sweet side of a blend between the hops and the malts. Decently blended aftertaste rolling into the same sort of finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. ABV felt fine. IBU’s, well, doesn’t seem like 97 to me, way smoother on my tongue. Overall, for the most part, it was a pretty good AIPA I could come back to if offered. Thanks Justin. Wednesday, April 5, 2017

jcwattsrugger	4.1 Barrage Yada, Yada, Yada On tap. Tan murky brown. A-peanuts/chocolate-med malt. T-peanuts, then a cutting thinner impression then chocolate-med malt. Sweet. By the 2nd-3rd sip I was able to figure out the thinner component was caramel. Nice, sweet med body dessert beer. Tuesday, August 18, 2015
ben4321	4.2 Barrage Yada, Yada, Yada Location: Growler from Syosset Beverage, 11/5/14 Aroma: The aroma is snickers bars and roast, with some cookie/doughy malt notes Appearance: It pours a murky brown color with a light brown head and some light lace Flavor: The flavor, as you’ll expect from the nose, is snickers and cookies, like desert in a glass, with just a bit of roasty and nutty malt flavor and a mild bitterness to keep it from getting too sweet Palate: The body is medium, it has a smooth carbonation, and a clean, easy drinking mouthfeel Overall Impression: New York State brewery # 92! I have been trying to locate a Barrage beer the whole time I’ve been working out here, but the brewery is weekends only, and I haven’t seen them show up on any nearby growler lists until today. I really enjoyed this beer. It’s dessert beer for people who like dessert beer but don’t like cloying dessert beers. Really works quite nicely. I could really drink a lot of this very easily.

beerbill	3.8 Barrage Yada, Yada, Yada Growler filled at Bellport Cold Beer and Soda and consumed later on the same day. This is one of those beers that can be difficult to rate because it tastes nothing like beer. The pour is dark brown with a moderate fizzy tan head that vaporizes by the first sip and leaves no lace. The aroma is a wild combination of Snickers Bar and Frangelico. I mean if I was blindfolded, that’s what I would have thought had been placed in front of me, not a beer, The flavor is exactly the same as the aroma. Snickers and Frangelico. Some mild heat at the finish completes the Frangelico deception. Medium bodied and not at all cloying. A great dessert beer; but understand it tastes nothing like a beer. Saturday, November 1, 2014

iworkatinitech	4 Barrage Citralization Saturday, October 4, 2014
callmemickey	3.2 Barrage Liquid Galaxy Hazy golden-orange body, thin white head and sparse lacing. Mango, florals, grapefruit, other tropical notes, semi-sweet pale malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, slightly syrupy, soft sweethness, lingering finish with mild bitterness. Monday, September 1, 2014
callmemickey	2.8 Barrage Citralization Murky orange body, next to no head, spotty lacing. Lively orange and tangerine in the nose gives way to an odd bready malt character in the flavor profile that interferes with the pleasant Citra hop profile. Medium bodied with moderate to gentle carbonation, moderate bitterness. A tad sweet. A bit homebrew-ish. Monday, September 1, 2014
