What beer are you drinking now? #209

saw this on the shelf yesterday. i couldn't let it go to waste. enjoying it in the nick of time. whew! close one.

 

Done for the night. See you tmmw night beerhaeds. Beer on!!!

 

An old favorite

 

I was planning on something a bit lighter tonight, but this looked good plus I don't want the coffee to fade too much. Very tasty beer. The base beer is present while coffee accents the natural roastiness of the stout, however the dark fruit notes don't come through as strongly as they do with Worthy Adversary (the base beer). War and Peace is an excellent pairing with Pete's Caved Aged Blue Cheese and Kissel's Plum and Tarragon spiced jam. Cheers all!

 

Probably the last one tonight, but we'll see how it goes-


2013 Old Stock Ale, drinking very well indeed.

Here's a vid I was reminded of earlier in this thread. If you decide to listen to this I promise it is some pretty messed up stuff. Enjoy -

 

Rough week. Mini-vertical tonight.

 

Homebrewed American Blonde Ale aged on White Wine soaked French Oak from Hessian257:



A - Hazy honey gold body stuffed with fine lines of beading... a lively looking beer. That finger of paper white head retains incredibly well, producing thick blankets of lace on every side of the glass.

S - Very inviting on the schnoz. Yeasty clove aromas meld with sharp white grape, honey, pear and apple, earthy peat and oak, rather dry, smooth. Mellow yet dynamic.

T - It's got the easy-drinking nature of an American Blonde without excluding the bold contribution of white wine and fresh oak. The result is a semi-sweet apple and white grape flavor profile with a dry oak finish. Crisp. Thirst-quenching. Very tasty.

4.25 / 5

Thanks a ton, Dave! I can't wait to try your other work.

Cheers BA!

Now onto this:

 

Next up Peak Organic IPA, Finally getting another chance in trying something from these guys. Cheers!

 

That label rocks. Screams vintage. How's it drinking? Sublime I'm sure

 

Very cool that it did...a beer enthusiast working in the industry, sounds like a good combo for success and a reason to roll out of bed every morning looking forward to the day!

 

Drinking this tasty brew. It tastes better than I imagined it would.

 

Love your new avatar. Uncle Charlie = BB

 

One of the cleanest tasting beers I have ever had:

No pic tonight, but a Deschutes Brauler filled with Toppling Goliath Zeelander...I've had 2 pours thus far, about to make it a third while I mess with backing up my phone to do a reset, and then root it again...

 

Lots of snifters with barrel aged beers from Revolution Brewing at a Chicago Beer Week stop. Not pictured:

Mean Gene - Eugene Porter aged in Woodford Reserve barrels
Bean Gene - Mean Gene aged with coffee beans
Straight Jacket Barleywine - Woodford aged American Barleywine
3rd Year Beer - Appleton Rum cask aged

 

Bells Oberon to finish the night beerwise, then possibly a finger or two of Buffalo Trace Bourbon to finish the night.

 

Couldn't resist the Choco Yeti I picked up today.
