Flossmoor Station Angry Mikes Stoudt Creek

Bug thanks to Matt for pulling this out at the pre-dld celebration. He said that it was about one year old and had spent about 18 months in the barrel. What a great guy. Dark brown with red color and tan head. Aroma was dark cherry that was sweet with a little grapiness. Large red fruit flavor with sour brown tones. Medium body. This has held up really well.

Pour is dark brownish black with a thin tan head...smell is lightly roasty with some chocolate covered cherries....taste was dominated by cherry sweetness with some hints at roasty chocolate toward the finish...thanks for busting this out!!!

Pours a dark brownish red color and smells very wine like with notes of dark cherries. Taste is similar with a slightly tart vinuous cherry flavor and not really roasty like I’d expect from the stout portion, but still rich in flavor. Low carbonation and pretty enjoyable. Unique for sure.

Not only do the guys at Flossmoor host this awesome Pre-DLD event they even give away some of their rarest beers. Thanks to Matt for pouring this, I love this brewpub. Pours dark brown with a soapy white head. Nose is a nice blend of sour cherries with some caramel and chocolate notes that are more subdued. Slight sweetness and chocolate in the flavor but mostly sour cherries. Really tasty.

Rating #1500. Growler @ Flossmoor, pre-DLD fest, courtesy of the brewers. Thanks to the Flossmoor folks for busting this out for us! I had originally planned on putting BA Dark Lord here, but it seems more fitting to go in order, especially if it incidentally gives props to the Flossmoor folks for putting on such a great evening for us. Pours a murky, chocolate brown color; light tan head with patchy lacing. Loads of overripe cherries, nougat, caramel, and red fruit leather in the aroma; slightly tart, overripe red fruit and caramel. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: mildly tart cherries, caramel, fruit leather and overripe red fruits; relaxed carbonation; intricate, tasty stuff. Medium finish: overripe red fruits, fruit leather, and a touch of toasty oak and barrel character.

busted this out at flossmoor station on the day before DLD. awesome.... pours medium caramel brown with a thin white head..... lots of tart cherry in the nose with a small malt backbone to it.... flavors were of tart cherries and wine. very drinkable and smooth.

thanks to Matt of flossmoor for breaking this at the end of the pre-dld gathering. pours brown with white head. a big white wine and cherry aroma. lots of cherry with white wine finish. they work together very well in this beer. clean and smooth finish. very tasty.

Served black with a hint of blood red around the edges when prompted, this beer had only a tan film on top but still looked gorgeous and thick in its snifter. Nose is vinous with a coffee background, then chocolate arrives with cherry. Then wine and coffee again... undulating almost rhythmically as it touches one olfactory receptor then the next. Mild notes of clay or Play-Doh keep this from a 10. Incredibly complex flavors move seamlessly from wine to stout to kriek, all first-class flavors within a lively mouthfeel and a smooth, full body. I had the opportunity to try this at <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Events-Detail.asp?EventID95>FoBABIII, but I’m glad I waited to sit and linger with it on it’s home turf.
