    Summer time goes in today, so what's a better way to start the summer season.

    first time i've got to try beers from the rare barrel. but wow, these are really nice. the home sour home is really unique. and just not that overwelming tart as belgian sours.

    Mmm, those 'natural flavors': so delicious. Better not say any more or a wild Jeppe might bite. :confused::stuck_out_tongue:

    Seriously—this is delicious. Don't know if it was a one-off, but I hope he got a long term contract with Two Roads for this.

    An early start to the day, enjoying this chili stout from Evil Twin. Subtle heat, alcohol well hidden.

    Another nice but cold Sunday today, here's what I am having this morning

    Fresh Torpedo, a fairly recent inductee into my go-to IPAs. With the Mills River brewery opening up, these have been available as fresh as ever in the last few months or so around here

    Last years batch is tasting incredible right now. Great presence of barrel flavors with balanced dark malt and dark fruit notes all around. Huge caramel, brown sugar, molasses, toast, toffee, raisin, fig, date, vanilla, bourbon, and oak notes. This is always amazing. I need to remind myself to go pick up more, I only have 1 left.

    4 years old, still have 2 more left. Oddly, I never stocked up on other years; I just randomly bought 6 in 2011. I'll have to change that and pick up a handful this year. Anyways, this is still tasting awesome. Picking up a bit more of raisin/prune fruits with molasses/licorice than I remember from last year from this vintage; but still has plenty of dark chocolate, cocoa, and coffee flavors in the foreground as expected. Delicious

    Seems like it's shaping up to be an Evil Twin day around here. I'll contribute with I Love You With My Stout.

    Spent another long night in a chair at the hospital - my stepfather is having quadruple bypass in the morning. Got home and popped some Wicked Weed to sip while I cook a massive breakfast. Good Sunday morning, geeks!

    Up early with all you degenerates (:stuck_out_tongue:), and drinking a beer that is sure to chase my cold away. (Right? Please?)

    Cheers, BAs!

    My first ever braggot. Interesting style. I like it. Lots of orange and honey with a boozy 8.5% ABV. Cheers.

    I absolutely love that album. I probably found out about Insomnium here on BA (from you or Nate or someone). I get all my new music from BA and Liquid Metal. :wink:

    I must be the only person who didn't really get this brew. Just had it last night, and I didn't love it. Everyone else on BA seems to rave about it. ::shrug:: trade bait, I suppose. :wink:
    Cheers to David Bowie!

    Deliciousness continues.



    It's definitely different from what I was expecting, but it has a great complexity, which I love. (But also: pretty much you can make anything hoppy and I'm going to swoon for it.) He/they may be undermining your trading aspirations with pretty wide distribution, although it's not that easy to find around here.

    Still too early for me, but later this afternoon\evening, there will be Founder's Black Rye and Dark Penance (which the beer store had marked down to seven bucks per four pack, because it was from October)...

    Getting ready to visit my mother. She's in great shape for a 90 year old.
