What beer are you drinking now? #552

If you're going to call a beer Hoperation Overload, you'd better singe my tongue. Hoperation failed. Not bad, but the New Dogtown pale ale I had earlier had a hoppier profile than this DIPA. Local brewery, Destihl, needs some more game, but the effort is appreciated!
Cheers!

 

sorry...forgot my photo of the FW event tonight...1/3 taps...

 

Brooklyn keeps on taking it.

 

Curiosity 6 by Tree House. What a great tasting beer. Hope this sees their regular rotation

 

Some alumnus pride, a beer I've never had before, and my snake plant because it made sense

 

How did the spices hold up in this aged Luchedor? I ask b/c I have a bottle of this year's release and am debating on drinking or cellarinf.

 

Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye. Not worth a picture but I will let you know that I found a sixer of this for four bucks.

 

Up next...



Show me a song that better decribes this beer... Cheers BA!

 

Bells Black Note

 

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty shitfaced right now. Thought I'd have this as my nightcap...

Great nose on this, but is a little lacking in mouthfeel. Otherwise, this is a decent, readily available BB Stout. Not a world beater, but gets the job done if need be.

Probably won't hear from me tomorrow as I have some good friends coming over to celebrate an impending birth. Here's what we (as men) have to look forward to..


That's 128 oz of BCBS and a little Speedway + sex panther to level things out.
Should be a total shit show. Prost!!!

 

Shit. Tonight.... Cascade Blueberry, St. Louis Kriek, Heady Topper, Cantillon Kriek, Hopsittution, A colab I cant remember... Great session!

 

Toppling Goliath Psuedo Sue, delicious! Cheers!!

 

Still sipping my Detour, reminiscing....

 

OK, "Steel Reserve 211" I get that... but, could you elaborate on the vacation...

 

Revisit review night as usual!

Very nice English porter! Prominent roasted coffee with balanced chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, caramel, toast, brown bread, light nuttiness, herbal, and roast/toasty earthiness. Nicely robust and very smooth.


Awesome saision. Big lemon zest, tangerine, orange peel, pear, apple, pepper, sage, grass, herbal, floral, wheat, cracker, light bubblegum, and yeast earthiness. Great yeast, hop, spice balance. So crisp.


Absolutely incredible scotch ale. As far as widely available offerings are concerned, this is the benchmark followed closely by the House ale. Big caramel, raisin, plum, cherry, fig, pear, toast, toffee, apple, oak, brown bread, chocolate, coriander, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Extremely robust and balanced with no cloying sweetness. Total awesomeness.


I love this one just like last time, awesome barleywine. Nov 2012 bottle code. Grapefruit, tangerine, orange peel, citrus rind, floral, grass, caramel, toast, toffee, raisin, bread, light pine, herbal, and floral/toasted earthiness. Awesome sweetness/bitterness balance and a great amount of malt/hop complexity. So satisfying for the style.


A damn good Belgian strong ale! Lots of raisin, plum, cherry, fig, pear, apple with balanced honey/candi sugar/toast/lightly nutty malt sweetness and a fair amount of earthy/peppery yeast notes. Very enjoyable!


Cheers

 

At this hour, I think I can speak for 90% of BA, we're all a bit shitty.

 

It was good. Bourbon character was more mild but I got a lot of cinnamon and chocolate
