    Early lunch @ BJ's brewhouse. Had jalapeno burger and their Grand Cru to wash it down.

    Delicious. Along with some other sampling. Their Belgian Grand Cru was my favorite. The pale ale was pretty good too.

    An hour of shoveling, all just to find my driveway. Clearing it clearly isn't an option at this point. I think I have no choice but to wait until my neighbor gets home, and then bribe him to use his snow blower.

    I still feel like I've earned this.

    Cheers!


    Congratulations!!!

    Good late morning BAs! Trying this brew from @BigRedDog from the NBS BIF - it's a wheat oat coconut APA? Coconut comes through better as it warms, oat contributes some creaminess, and the wheat contributes what? the haze? Not really picking up any weisen/hefeweizen notes - guess the yeast strain(s) don't work that well with the wheat. Oh well, still a pretty decent brew.

    Maybe it needs some lime.

    How is the BJ chain? I've often been wary. I only went one time, and I was standing at the hostess booth (alone) and they took two parties to be seated who came in after me. I was hungry, so therefore ornery, so I left. Is it worth going back? Are their brews worth it?

    Thanks!

    And thanks to Telly13 for this great extra.

    Three Philosophers by Ommegang.
    [​IMG]
    Cheers, BA!

    $4.49 single poured into a Sam Adams Perfect Pint glass.

    Appearance: Steady pour into the glass gave a finger of a creamy, tan head. The rest of the beer doesn't look so sexy, but it looks like I figured it might -- a very murky orange/red/brown color with tons of floaters in there. Regardless, looks very good for the style.

    Smell: Awesome. Belgian funk that's so potent it makes this smell like a sour... well actually, it almost makes it smell like a wine with all the grape/dark fruits I'm smelling. Little bit of malts in the background to let you know you're about to drink a BEER. The bottle says this beer has cherries, but I'm really getting a wine-y red grape character that I love.

    Taste/feel: Does not taste like it smells -- it tastes more like I would expect a Quad to. While the aroma is surprisingly "bright" with a fresh grape juice kind of aroma, the taste brings a wallop of malt with more of a raisin or date flavor as opposed to fresh grapes. There's also a fair amount of alcohol in the flavor -- which I actually love in the style -- and just a little bit of heat. The finish is dry and warm, yet Three Philosophers leaves a syrupy residue in the mouth. The feel is good, but I think a little more carbonation or a touch less thickness would really make this beer shine.

    This is a marvelous beer. Pricy no doubt at $4.49 a single, but it's easily World Class in the style. Big fan of this one.

    4.43/5 (+7% rDev)
