Message JorisPPattyn P admin beers 13619 º places 92 º 01:47 Mon 3/5/2012 -romanov-empress-stout-rioja-ba/167532/ The brewer (or at least a wild, hairy person behind the bar) assured me the version served at the ACBF, was NOT Rioja barrel-aged, but WHISKY barrel-aged. I have therefor added a new entry:http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=167646 To the UK admins to verify...
Message JorisPPattyn P admin beers 13619 º places 92 º 02:01 Mon 3/5/2012 AND ANOTHER ONE!!! The Damson & Vanilla beer was NOT: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/hawkshead-damson-vanilla-stout/129155/ but a damson and vanilla PORTER! Check the beerlist: it has 8.5% ABV (that’s far more than the 4.5% stout) and 60 EBU... I will add a new entry...
Message sebletitje beers 11868 º places 491 º 02:50 Mon 3/5/2012 Thanks Joris. Ian said he would check about the porter. Agree with the Rioja, one of my note was that there was almost not a sign of wine barrel in it.
Message joes P beers 93 º places 9 º 04:38 Thu 3/8/2012 I was told that the rioja-barrel version was finished saturday and replaced by a whisky-barrel version on sunday. But it looks like that was my own interpretation .....

Message dEnk beers 4200 º places 33 º 11:16 Thu 3/8/2012 Your right a both :) harrisoni told me the same about the Rioja > which he verified with the brewer. (Which also explains the bourbon/whiskey notes I picked up :) ) And I personally have talked about the porter, so I know that’s true as well. I’ve already asked an admin to move all the rioja ratings to the whiskey barrel (since all rating were from acbf) Thanks and cheers!
Message harrisoni P beers 24946 º places 68 º 11:41 Thu 3/8/2012 Thanks, moved both of mine now, the Hawkshead and the Brodies
