What beer are you drinking now? #498

I'm having a Founders Breakfast Stout. While it's in season it's my favorite way to start a Sunday. (and watch a good movie)

 

A holy ale, in a holy chalice, on Sunday. Respectful in my world.

 

A 2012 Stone IMP Stout. Jesus this stuff ages well. Just an unbelievable liquid. I can't stop sipping it and then staring at the glass. My wife is making fun of me as she drinks her coffee and I could give a shit. I know what I am drinking is better than what she is having...ALOT better.

Cheers!

 

Not sure how much this is normally. I got it on a vacation, but $5.75 is not bad for this beer.

 

Love it!!!

In the middle of an ice storm, no work tomorrow...woke up to thunder at 5am followed by ice for the last 4 hours...might as well start of with something warm and dark..."thunder struck" done right...

 

Ok you guys! Morning! I said I was gonna do beer and breakfast int his here thread ont he weekends and today I have started to try Ithaca Beer's Obscurite. This is a stout that's gentle in the mouthfeel. Expansive malt brings bold and roast flavors to a softer more delicate palate. It is not unctuous or too complex. Simple straightforward and belgian in it's bearing. Drinks very well and well done! I am going to put this with oatmeal with fruit and nuts. Be right back.

 

are you saying I should start drinking again? is that what you're saying?!

because I am hungover

 

I'm not saying you should start drinking again…


…I'm wondering why you stopped!

 

Start this day off right!

 

Got bit?
Try some Hair of the Dog...

 

OK! That did not take long to cook at all. =)


Because of the bitter roast and weak coffee I decided to pair this beer with smooth creamy oatmeal. I could have played to the touch of smoke and made something with bacon but I decided it wasn't that kind of day. This oatmeal is made with milk and brown sugar so it is lightly sweet like caramel and yet it is hearty and substantial and will stick to your ribs. Those are dried cherries and almonds but raisins would have been fine. The touch of smoke was extremely pleasant alongside the creamy oatmeal.

"Ya gotta have a breakfast."

 

Morning everyone.
Enjoying and all grain homebrewed coffee oatmel stout.
This batch is hitting its stride after 5 months of conditioning.

Cheers all

 

At my local Brewery (Black Lotus) for brunch and they just tapped a Barrel Aged Tripel....not bad.

 

Hate to admit it - Magic Hat Ticket to Rye. I'm a sucker for a rye beer and this one is half good.

 

Hey! Where's your delicious lunch? And I want that beer mat!
