    Prepping dinner. Having a beer and listening to tunes while chopping. Cut one finger (nothing bad) before having a beer. I forgot to bless the knife gods before trying to slice that fruit. Was listening to Wylie Dufresne on a podcast with David Chang while I was doing way too many hours of driving yesterday during which he spoke about recently cutting himself bad in his home kitchen with a Japanese mandoline. That type of thing could slice you bad. Ah well, back to peeling my potatoes.

    And just because I saw a tweet a short while ago from Bootsy saying it was Clyde Stubblefield’s birthday today. Listen, if Bootsy calls you The Funky Drummer, you are indeed The Funky Drummer.

    Happy birthday! Since I have seen your beer posts many times before I trust you were 21. So this must be your 22nd birthday?

    From NJ and not a Springsteen fan! I will try my best to deal with such a thing.

    So what is happening up there in NJ my friend? How is the Covid thing?

    Just did a couple of fairly chunky orders. One from the LCBO, which is twenty three different beers in quantities of 2-4 each, with fifteen of the beers being new to me. Also did a Collective Arts order which contains five new for me beers. Excited.

    Got my go to triple IPA going on here and have a couple new ones coming in the orders. Cheers. [​IMG]

    This is much better than the first one. Tasted oxidized. Must have gotten a bad can.

    Cigar City Brewing -- Hunahpu's Imperial Stout (chili stout) - with immense gratitude towards @DoctorZombies for offering this out of the blue...:slight_smile:

    [​IMG]

    4.62/5 rDev 0%
    look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.5

    Abyss black body; fizzy carbonation percolating up through the depths; initial decent head yet it quickly dissipates to a thin fizzy ring dancing around the circumference of the glass. Outstanding aroma; tropical fruit sweetness with a rich bitter chocolate element; chili peppers. The taste multiplies the smell sensations; chili pepper spiciness with cinnamon overtones; cocoa and bitter chocolate; star anise. Heavy body; slick and oily on the palate; warm with chili heat and boozy warmth; sticky residual sugars coat the palate and offset the warmth notes with a sweet mouthfeel quality.

    2020 edition, unknown ABV (the 2021 version is 11.8% ABV). This beer was made available to me out of the blue, and what treat this is. Many chili and high ABV beers suffer in the head retention department, and that seems to be the case hear, but everything climbs to a high degree afterwards in the sensory appeal department. This is one awesome imperial stout augmented with a devilish chili pepper kick.
