    Decided I'd let some Brown Shugga sing me home again tonight.. Seriously love this stuff. (Also, thought that all the puppy pics needed at least a little bit of cool cat balance! Meet Tubby. My favorite drinking buddy :wink: )

    Holy crap! What an unsung gem. So citrusy, fruity, piney. Great local beer!

    Sexual Chocolate and BA Sexual Chocolate...doing a little side by side. The BA version wins. Bourbon pretty upfront, then more subtle. I'm hoping the name will have a subliminal effect for the night. :stuck_out_tongue::wink:

    Did a MTB Duathlon today, and then rode Lakeshore park. Great colorful scenery this time of year.

    Brews:

    Very good ESB. Felt a bit too hoppy for the style, but a still a very tasty brew.

    Finally decided to crack a 2011 I bought from when I moved to MI. Words cannot describe how fucking insane this beer is. Absolutely perfect barrel/malt complexity with huge vanilla/molasses/caramel/toffee/maple syrup malt/barrel flavors. My mind was melted.
    [​IMG]

    Not a bad beer, but really not a whole hell of a lot going on here. Bland in complexity/robustness. I got zero tartness and not too much funk either. It was balance with the yeast/malt/and juice flavors and very drinkable for 8% though.
    [​IMG]

    Absolutely flat and no head. Luckily this beer tasted awesome! Awesome complexity of dark/roasted malt and oak/licorice flavors. So damn delicious, even with no carbonation! Damn!
