The problem:
When the hell am I supposed to drink all these damn beers? What's the right setting for drinking 250+ ounces of American barleywine with varying degrees of oxidation? I'm nowhere near fancy enough to have 22 x four or five fancy glasses to pour a table full of samples for a select group of my highbrow beernerd friends to come over and sample with me (plus who would want to have one long non-stop uninterrupted session of one kind of beer like that? Not me!).
The solution:
A two(ish)-month long random blind cellared beer review. I get my wife, or else start corrupting my ten year old son, and have one of them pull a random bottle from the box, pour it into a vessel of my choice, and commence to liveposting to you folks about all the sweet/caramel/toffee/leather/musky/oxidized-ass flavors that I experience, while trying to guess the vintage.
So stay tuned, if you like.
