TnDC Field Trip #25 Tapping Reinke's Revenge 2016

Today is the day I got to have one of my beers on tap/sale at an brewery. Thanks to Red and Junk, I was able to invite Dr. Reinke up to BlackStone Tap House to enjoy his namesake from tap #15! Coming in a little astringent from my overuse of roasted malts, Red put it on nitro to soften the effects. After a couple of 10 oz tasters, I gave it a 5 on Untappd:) Beautifully dark in color with a muted nose, but the smoothest taste I've ever had on a 9% beer. Even Merry had 2. And since it was on nitro meaning no growler fills, I told the Doc to "drink up". So when we try this next, we'll back off on the dark grains (Black malt, Roasted barley, Chocolate malt) and pump up the 2-row and add some oats. Can't wait for October already.
