    Morning, @ChicagoJ ! I think I'll join this round of the tournament a bit later, but for now, I'm going to enjoy a Double Nugget Nectar with lunch.

    Slow day for a Thirsty Thursday. We can fix that. :wink:

    Good morning BAs! Thanks @ChicagoJ for getting us going this morning. Morning chores done, kitchen cleaned, drinking a new to me “breakfast” beer - BA Krampus In The Buff (2022), Old Irving Brewing Co., Chicago IL, aged in Heaven Hill, Four Roses, and Old Elk Bourbon Barrels:


    [​IMG]

    Released 11/22/22. Poured at 54°. Jet black body with ruby edges; fizzy tight , with a few rocks, mocha tan head that fizzled out quickly; no cap retention, thin ring at best; some small spots of lace upon agitation; no legs on swirl. Strong bourbon nose; notes of oak with warming. Sweet bourbon entry, milk chocolate, hot and boozy; caramel; oaky vanilla as beer warms; sweet dark fruit - raisins; bourbon finish. Silky smooth feel, full minus body; not adjuncty; alcohol bite on sides of tongue; full on mouth warmth from 14% abv; dry barrel tongue coating. Overall, a bit bourbon hot, but I like it!; straight up barrel and base flavor with no adjuncts added; balanced well enough between bourbon and base, but leans a bit sweet.

    4.0 | 4.0 | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4.5
    Score: 4.35 rDev +1.4%


    A beer I would happily drink again but the base is sweet and I would not seek out otherwise …

    We’re getting back to normal/much warmer weather today here in SWFL. I fear our “Spring” has done sprung until next year. Cheers and have a thoughtful Thursday y’all!

    Drinking this nice oatmeal stout. Only thing on the books today is taking the white dog for his grooming.

    You gotta get caught up with the Jordan Peele movies if you haven't seen em. Figured you'd enjoy this read I remember you enjoyed Get Out.

    I know it's weird to open the day with a hoppy beer, and in the afternoon go with a breakfast beer, but I've got to vote ... :grinning:
