    Delicious spiced brown ale! Caramel/toast/toffee/biscuit/brown bread/light chocolate with very balanced cinnamon/vanilla/nutmeg/allspice and some herbal hops. Really enjoyed this brew.

    Seriously great porter. Big dark chocolate/cocoa/roasted malt/caramel/toast/dark bread/coffee/oats with light-moderate citrus/pine/floral/grass hop presence. Great mouthfeel as well.

    This was a damn good White IPA. Nice lemon zest/orange peel/tangerine/pineapple with pear/apple/clove/earthy yeast with sizable coriander/peppercorn spice and light-moderate oak presence. A bit of straw/grassy/herbal funk in there too. Very highly carbonated and crisp.

    Finally get to sip on this beer and I'm LOVIN it! It took me a while to "Warm" up to spicy beers... (Ha ha...) But now I really like em! Some may think it a stretch, but I find this flavor profile VERY similar to Prairie Bomb. I actually like this just as much, I just think PB got the hype somehow rather than Odd Sides does with this and regular Mayan Mocha. At any rate, it's in my glass and I like it that way. :slight_smile:

    Cheers!

    Well you can only have one first night with a case of hopslam in your life...might as well make the most of it.

    Dude! That "Norm's Raggedy Ass" was a huge surprise how good it was. To me at least. Had it at "The Score" in Grand Rapids and thought it was so good! You?

    Finishers:

    Last one I have for now, no reason to let it sit around.
    [​IMG]

    Hell yes 2012 is doing amazing. Deep toffee/brown sugar/biscuit/toast/nutty malt complexity with raisins and a bit of oak/clove spice. Killer brew especially with age.
    [​IMG]

    Sucks still sits around here available for purchase while hopslam is long gone. I'll be getting more, this brew is still delicious for months after bottling. (imo) I'm going to throw it out there and say this is a total Hopslam substitute.

    Tonight started with Pipeworks' Brother Nelson Razbeardo Black Raspberry Dubbel. Then Jolly Pumpkin's La Roja made me very happy. Next up is Petrus Red.

    ok , so we all know this is one of the greatest beers to age ( as opposed to lesser ABV IPAs which i cant stand when old and hops drop out and it gets sweet ...YUK !! )
    BUT this is still kick ass and drinking right now....and its following a 2008 Goose Island Bourbon County Stout ....WOW ...YESSS ...not driving anywhere ....snowed in in NYC
