After Three Floyd's introduced Baller at their 15th Anniversary, I got to thinking that it would be fun to sample Baller along with all of the brews used to create it. So I rounded up a Baller, Beer Geek Brunch Weasel, Dark Lord, Darkness, & Black Albert and extended some invitations. As you can see from the picture below, some other great brews were brought out as well! Thanks to everyone who brought out bottles to share! I really enjoyed everything we opened with one exception: Black Albert. That beer just did not suit my tastes. After everyone had worked through Baller and all of it's components, we took a vote for the favorite of the five beers and while Darkness got a nod, Dark Lord was the overall favorite. Just for the fun of it, we poured a small mix of all the brews together to see if there was any resemblance to Baller. There wasn't. It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't as good as any of it's parts... except maybe Black Albert...
I took way too long time to post this, but thanks to all who came out; we had a great time!
Eis Igian,
