Late Nite BeerAdvocate - Monday

Just finished a Burton Baton and a founders Double Trouble, Im surprised I can still type! lol

 

Having my first ever Torpedo, wondering why I passed this gem by so many times…superb, good price. Cheers ~

 

Bourbon Barrel Angel's Share! Was a little worried about this one, but I think it's great. Cheers everyone.

 

Nice glass! I'm loving that Ommegang flute more and more.

 

I am drinking a Sam Adams Boston Larger, my go to beer

 

Ahh really? Damn. I thought Perpetual was a nice, moderately dry, rather pale beer. Loved it. That's okay, maybe my taste in IPAs is too East Coast for a lot of people :-)

 

Either a Sam Smith Nut Brown or Weihen. Korbinian when I get home in an hour and a half.

 

One of my favorites for sure, although I used to reserve it just for Ommegang, then thought, why?

 

Nothing wrong with malty East Coast IPAs... I can dig it. However, my love is for the drier, low malt, clean yeast, high hops, more West Coast IPAs.

 

Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree
Epic Brewing Big Bad Baptist (Amazing stuff)

 

Just put back a few Nugget Nectars. Good beer but I really don't see why every store in Massachusetts sells out in a day. Over hyped IMHO.

 

Hahaha see I love IPAs that are dry, have a solid but subtle / well put together malt profile, a distinct yeast note (I like 'em cloudy), and of course, high hop. But hey, a good beer is a good beer, right? I appreciate them all.

 

You see... subtle vs. well put together malt profile are two entirely opposite ends of the spectrum for me. While most people may prefer 30-40% malt / 50-60% hops / 10-20% yeast in an IPA, I personally prefer more like 10-15% malt/80-85% hops/5% yeast.

 

Probably don' need any beer tonight after the day I had at Monk's (3.5 PtY, Consecration, Supplication, PtE, Damnation), yet here I sit with a snifter full of 2010 Abyss

 

Had to crack open a FFF Three Floyds Robert the Bruce (IN beer), while the Bulls beat up on the Pacers...

 

Starting with a Red Chair. My coworker just brought me some goodies from Seattle, so I'll have to choose between a growler of RPM IPA from Boneyard, a DIPA and Monks indescretion from Sound and Interurban from Fremont.

Cheers.

 

Eh I just meant well put together as in literally well put together. Not heavy or sweet, just not overly simplistic and something you can appreciate on its own. Not sure where I'd fall on the spectrum for proportions of flavor emphasis . . . I just like being able to isolate and appreciate all of these aspects individually.

Example: Green Flash WCIPA. Unbelievable off-the-shelf IPA in my mind, totally West Coast (duh), but it's just well-crafted through and through. On the same token, Weyerbacher Double Simcoe (regular, not unfiltered) is fantastic even though it has a much stronger malt profile. Just well done at every turn, in my opinion.

 

Which one?

 

I'm drinking Sun King Isis. It isn't quite as stellar as it was out of a growler but it was still good enough for a 4.15 out of a can. Props to the guys at Sun King!

 

Started with a Brian Boru then onto tonight's feature beer King Henry! Might wrap thisup with a FW 15th anni ale just for good measure
