    Ended up not being too relaxing a Friday after all, at least yet. Been running around, but nothing stressful at least. Finally sitting down with another new one. Might end up being a new beer Friday.

    Looks are wonderful, nose is decent. Taste had a bit of burn early that wasn't expected or overly welcome. It settled down by the end of the taste. Luckily I have a few more to see if it was an anomaly.

    Photo series below. But to make a very long story short. Founders hit NM last week. I've been in love with FBS for a couple years now. So why not get a commercial keg of it.. We are about half way through and I got an itching for something sorta unique. Stone's Xocoveza came to mind.

    I home brew, buy commercial kegs, own home brew kegs etc. So I got an itching to try something slightly different.

    I basically served off 3 gallons of commercial kegged FBS into a 3 gallon home brew keg. Inside the keg, a hop sock/randall type effect of adjuncts.

    ~ 5 oz. coffee beans. 3 total parts. 1 part Pinon Hazelnut, 1 part Vanilla nut, 1 part Panama dark roast (aromatics for days)
    - Recipe called for Pasilla chile peppers. Living in NM, you would think chile pepper varieties are everywhere. But they aren't. I went with ~ 1 Tbsp crushed red pepper.
    - About 2 ounces raw Cacoa Nibs
    - Two Cinnamon Sticks
    -Spotted some french oak chips from a couple experiments back. Why not 2 ounces of that
    -One freshly cracked nutmeg nut (red bottle photographed for reference)
    - 2 vanilla beans

    Just 20 minutes in, coffee aromatics take over. Then some vanilla notes. Pretty much the best beer I have ever had. A Stone Xocoveza hybrid that is everything I have wanted out of that beer. Fuller bodied and just more in your face.

    It's an experiment done right.. I really dont know why breweries don't "tea bag" beers with dry hops and/or dry adjuncts. It is SO WORTH IT.

    Next up, a 2014 bottled FBS, a 2015 bottled FBS, a draft 2015 regular pour, and a draft 2015 "randalled"/hop sack of fun pour all side by side this weekend.
