What beer are you drinking now? #848

Make it stop!

 

Starting to love this new tradition of stouts with weekend breakfast! PM Dawn from Trillium this morning

 

been hesitant to open this 2nd bottle due to discussions, but happy to report t'isnt sour, just delicious.



i feel bad for you cats getting repetitively barnstormed with snow & sub zero temps. not ragging just sayin' that stuff is beautiful... on TV & in beer photo backdrops etc. meanwhile i'm prepping the grill & getting heckled by the residents out back on what promises to be another 75° winter day here. managed to get a few semi clear shots of one of the hummers stirring about in my yard this morning:

 

Do you ever NOT have proper glassware? So awesome.

 

Kalamazoo Stout

 

An RIS kind of morning

 

We won't see hummingbirds for a couple months here... woodpeckers are everywhere right now, which usually means snow - or ice - will be falling soon.

 

Perfect beer for a bitchin cold day!

 

Almanac is local but some of what you've seen previously, is definitely a matter of having ' proper ' friends.

 

So I accidentally turned my Victory at Sea into a slushy ...it didn't taste bad just really prominent coffee and an u uncontrollable head so the head looks a lite odd in this pic haha but it warmed after a couple hours is and the vanilla came out to play I feel like the Vanilla is much more prominent in this year's batch and so delicious

Since I didn't let it fully thaw and drank part of it as a slushie this seemed appropriate haha


and then my current go to beer that never disappoints love this beer

It's what I reach for after a tough day at work

 

A very fresh Fathead's Hop Juju. Even the burps are delicious...LOVE this beer.

Cheers!

 

This is last year's. I mostly agree with you. I think it is better overall on the fresher side as far as the flavors go, but it is kind of hot/boozy for all the stronger it is. The alcohol does calm down a bit though after a year. Depends what is more detracting I suppose. I would say 6 months (give or take) from bottling is probably the sweet spot. Which is not good considering I have 16 left. It is a very good beer, but isn't really all the way there. It is beautiful looking though. I would like to see some oaked Old Stock!

 

Really cold outside so staying in to binge watching Harry Potter and trying new beers, cheers!

 

Once in a while i guess

 

Got a little crazy. Sixpoint Sweet Action and floated a Murphy's Stout. When I got to the point of transition and combination, it was awesome. Pour was beautiful but still struggling with posting pics. That could be a new thread, new creation with floating a stout.

 

Finally getting around to trying this. Excellent.
