    Happy Friday, round 2!

    Recycled my own picture here, but decided to go with a classic.

    From last night....was just too amazing that I couldn't pass up on sharing on this thread. Best BCBS variant I've had, think of a boozy Almond Joy. Happy Friday All!

    Something just seems wrong when somebody on the west coast starts this thread. It's like us east coasters are falling down on the job.

    I somewhat agree, though I have an unusual work/sleep schedule, so it's not all on you guys haha.

    Good morning/noon/lunch BAs! Getting involved early, as I'm off for the weekend now, and working on my HF Everett porter growler to go with my lunch.

    [​IMG]

    Also got around to giving it a full review this time, and it clocked in about exactly where I thought it would. This is a superb beer, immediately cracking my personal top 15 (along with Society and Solitude #6, my other HF growler from this past weekend).

    While with most porters and stouts, I'm looking for a thick, "chewy" mouthfeel, I feel this beer is better described as "creamy." It's a luscious, decadent creaminess that comes through in both flavor and body; I can't imagine a better feel to this style. In the meantime, it packs in a ton of lovely flavor (without having to resort to BA or dominating chocolate notes), and clocks in at 7.5% (damn near sessionable for us DIPA/RIS lovers).

    A very impressive brew; glad I have probably 3 more pours left in the growler.

    Cheers!

    You'd think if we were falling down on the job, it would be because we're posting here. :slight_smile:

    I first had Monster Ale on tap, pre-aged (at least a couple years, although I want to say it was an '09). I was very impressed; extremely smooth, packed full of flavor.

    I have no idea what the hell a 'London Style Porter' is, but this one rocks and drinks like a stout.

    Happy Friday to all!
