    New Holland Dragons Milk Reserve Banana Coconut. Incredible imperial stout. Aromas and flavors of big milk chocolate, cocoa, banana, coconut, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, nuts, and dark/brown bread; with light notes of coffee, molasses, licorice, raisin, cherry, smoke, and herbal hops. Mild herbal/roast bitterness and bourbon/oak spiciness on the finish. Light-medium carbonation and fairly full body; very creamy, silky, velvety, rich mouthfeel that is amazing. Slight sticky hop, chalky roast, and bourbon/oak tannins. Slightly increasing lingering bitter/tannic dryness. No cloying/acrid. Dangerously smooth sipping. Mildly increasing warmth of 11%, with no barrel booze. Another easy winner as expected. Perfectly balanced rich malts, flavorings, and bourbon barrel integration. Minimal booze/tannins on barrels. Always buy more than 1 pack every release regardless. Never been disappointed. Aging well from 9/2018.

    Three Notch'd King of Clouds hazy IPA (basically the winner of the 12 batches of the Nephology series, all 12 of them... think I quit grabbing them after 7... I believe 4 one but correct me if I'm wrong)

    Right along here ba. A revisit to a style that simply isn't done that much anymore. Close Encounter, black ipa, from Pipeworks. Decent stuff and I did and still do like the style.

    @hottenot I doubt I could get a Saturday off if to save my life. Had to do a few sundays, thanks to the virus, although I’m not suppose to. Healthy, and I still have income. Not much to really complain about.

    Went for a nice walk on this beautiful Sunday morning and now I think it's time for some morning coffee before I cut the grass. Founders KBS Espresso (barrel aged imp. stout w/ chocolate and coffee aged on espresso beans after being removed from the barrels). First time having this one and I'm not disappointed. Very much like the usual KBS, but with an elevated bitterness and obvious stronger coffee notes from the espresso. Regular KBS tends to lean more milk chocolate for me, while the added espresso in this version makes this one come off more dark chocolate with just hints of milk chocolate. Nice bourbon barrel presence giving of obvious bourbon, oak, and vanilla. Sweet brew.

    Enjoying the nice weather. Streetwise is a subtle AIIPA from Bronx Brewing. As a Locabibe, trying to drink local and keep the local folks in business.



    It is a wonderful town and will be again. Sláinte!
