What beer are you drinking now? #709

I think I've got a new favorite 6 pack







¡Salud!

 

Agreed. The comment about unrealistic expectations is on the mark. On its own merit, it's a solid beer and the "ABLE" applies perfectly, more or less equivalent to my "OK". Mostly the folks that attend a cookout at my house are in-betweeners. They aren't overly serious about beer, but they do like trying different things. It's a bit of fun - counting up the empties tells me what people liked and what they didn't. If people ask, or are looking for something specific, I'll point them (hopefully) in the right direction but I generally put out a variety and people pick what they want. On that particular day, the coffee milk stout took the prize - most people had at least two by my math (or one person drank a boatload by themself). By my informal market research it is something that I should have on hand for a gathering.

 

Got a box from my son in Texas filled with great beer! He told me to drink this one first, as it was brewed a week before he shipped it, making it 2 weeks old. Deeelicious!

 

Getting my drink on as I work my way through Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker in anticipation for MGSV.

First some nice traditional hefe:


And then me proceeding to jump for joy because I found Two-Hearted in cans:


While I'm on the subject of Peace Walker...ULTIMATE CO-OP WEAPON: HUMAN SLINGSHOT!

 

Dreary Monday... good day for a big beer... Java '13.



Prepping for my guitar lesson in an hour...

Cheers!

 

lol true true. If FBS had a glass, I would.

 

Enjoying an all grain homebrewed Helles.

Cheers all

 

Homebrew..American hopped Saison. dry-hopped with Mosaic and Tanzanian Peaberry.
I would say a successful experiment

 

Lunch time!

 

Kulshan Reisterbrau Stout

 

Happy Monday

 

Such a good beer, hoping I'm able to find some of the barrel aged variety when it comes out.

 

Just reviewed SA Octoberfest (3.36) which had a significant metallic off flavor, and was quite sub par from years past. Followed it with Great Lakes always outstanding Nosferatu. It took about a quarter of the Nosferatu bottle to finally get rid of the metallic aftertaste from the SA, so it wasn't my taste buds. Anyone else finding the metallic flaw?

 

A little bit of "Prost!!" from the east coast, thanks to @302BeerGuy

Both are very good, but I like that Dominion's Octoberfest isn't quite as sweet. Gonna give it the edge.

Cheers and beers!!

 

Anise flavor. It's not as prominent as Bell's Kalamazoo Stout but there is no mistaking that it's in there.

 

Stillwater Artisanal/Hof Ten Dormaal - Bronze Age. Spot on for the style.



And this...

 

Hmmm ... I'll have to see if it hits the "make your own six pack" section. I might try one bottle, can't say I'd buy a whole four pack of it. Haven't had Kalamazoo Stout either, so good to know. Thanks for the help!
