    Pumpkin Tzar, #properglassware. The one-ounce pours do not lend themselves to any sort of meaningful analysis. I couldn't pick up much on the aroma, and the chili and spices were almost undetectable on the palate. Still, this is a very good beer and not at all boozy for the 11.6% ABV. I picked up a single of this so I can at least give it the proper sampling it deserves.

    Prost!

    Good evening, BAs! I hosted a couple of friends for an impromptu beer share. No in situ pics, but I do have a nice summary pic:

    Left to right: OEC Zymatore (J.W. Lees Harvest Ale aged for 1 year in Spanish Muscatel barrels and on Chambourcin grapes); 2015 FW Abacus (the closer); Highland Park Griffith J. Griffith Imperial Stout with @Trystero coffee (courtesy of @JayORear); Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien Grand Cru; and Hoof Hearted Musk of the Minotaur (courtesy of @WesMantooth).

    They were inefficient enough to leave me reasonable pours of the Zymatore and Abacus, so I'm finishing them off tonight. Thanks to the BAs who graciously porch bombed me with beer that allowed me to share the rest of the US' craft beer world with my local friends.

    Cheers, BAs, and good night!

    Might be my favorite song from the Black Keys since Brothers came out. The bottle opener can be purchased from the Benchmade site.
