What beer are you drinking now? #97

I'm finally onto the Palo Santo Marron, WOW, just WOW. Really hard to put to words, there's just some much going on. Smoky, little toasty, drinkable qualified by for what it is, pretty high ABV and even a little sweet. This is just crazy complex and I'm at amazement at what it's going to be like as it comes up to temp.

 

Hey fellow BA's......

Just finished my 1st Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye of the year.......
Now about to tackle a Hopslam.

Cheers

 

A big thanks to tut2528 for this one!



Cheers!

 

Tonight is the right night.
Tomorrow may never come.

 

I almost picked one up today for the cellar. Too bad I didn't. That would have been either the best, or worst, idea ever.

 

really mellow right now take a listen a Batch 19 for me

 

Alex I'll take matching glassware for $200.

Cheers

 

Do it. You won't be disappointed.

 

Florida makes some phenomenal beers.



Makes me feel like this:

 

I had one of those while in Madison, WI over the summer and was surprised how much I liked it. I'm going back in July...this is on my hit list.

 

First one of the year

 

Another:



Watching:

 

Surely you jest...

 

Probably the worst idea ever...so if you do pick up a bottle, just send to me.

 

Went to the bar during the snow "storm" after work. Had a Lagunitas Sucks, Goose Island Big John and a Maine Beer Peeper Ale. Walked out with a growler of Big John which I am working on now:



Edit: all beers were ticks for me and all were delicious!

 

I shit you not. Great stuff, with Dylan on keys.

 

Like many others I am enjoying Sixpoint 3 Bean which is pretty darn good. Enjoy your Friday evenings with some tasty brews.

 

Nice...

 

I hope giovannilucano's out there, 'cuz I bought this with him in mind - my first ever Italian beer, the Verdi Imperial Stout... brewed with hot chili...

These bottles have been sitting in my distributor for 2+ years for sure - I know 'cuz I've seen 'em there - and I keep telling myself, "try one, you idiot," and I know Giovanni would be proud (maybe my in-laws, too - although they're dedicated wine drinkers, they're from Durazzano, Italy, and take great pride in all things Italian - especially my father-in-law (don't get him started - lol)). So I pulled the bottle from the dust and cobwebs (not much of an exaggeration, mind you) and brought it home.

Had to have it right away. Into the snifter...
The head was a dense firm mousse:

Ladies and gentlemen, I kid you not, this was an exceptional beer. So don't despair the dust and apparent neglect - maybe the aging was a good thing, too - this was a real winner. Super smooth and one of the creamiest beers I've ever had (blew oatmeal stouts out of the water) - the spikes of heat from the chili worked perfectly with the subtle, smooth espresso and cocoa flavors - it had an almost porter-like feel - I could drink this all night.

Cin cin!

 

Bells Third Coast Ale, haven't had this is a long time, forgot how much I liked it. Cheers!
