What beer are you drinking now? #1145

As some other members have said, this is quite excellent! Lots of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla notes, as well as a very subtle hint of hops, but not over done at all like 3F can do from time to time.

 

Deschutes of the day #3, probably the weakest of the group (I doubt Black Butte XXVI is going to suck).


Sometimes paying attention when the kid's shows are on pays off with something fun. I turned on the stereo system to get the full effect.

Never thought I'd say SpongeBob kicked ass, but it did.

 

There is not much more I can say about this beer that members do not already know other my wife, who is not a beer drinker, loved the taste of this.

 

Hey happy HD.
There is nothing to me like a finely crafted Pilsner.
This Pilsner has it all. The aroma, the malt, the classic German hops. The look.
My friends I'm going to say this may be the finest American crafted classic Pilsner that has ever tantalized my taste buds.
Crisp, clean and just delicious. This is damn good IMHO, world class. Can't wait for more!!!

 

Onto a Ridgetop Red.




3.63/5 rDev -1.9%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75

Pours a light prune juice color with 70% opacity. Off white/egg foam colored head @ 3 fingers. Lace is good.

Smells closer to a scotch ale with sticky aromas of fig, plum, and some roasted malts, twist of lime.

Tastes like a Scotch-lite. Lots of bread and caramel, fig jam, yeast, and a slight metallic finish.

Light to medium bodied, well-lit carbonation, semi-dry parch.

Not a bad red ale, just more like a scotch. I could have taken more sharpness from the beer overall.

 

Breckenridge Brewery, 72 Imperial Chocolate Cream Stout

 

Loving this, presumably fresh (hate GF bottle dating) Alpine

 

Wife just walked in from trip to Florida.......BINGO! This is turning into a fantastic beer week!

 

This finally found it's way to St. Louis.....totally worth the wait.

 

This just showed up in my neck of the woods for the first time. I had the BA version before out of the kindness of a lovely Chicagoian BA that some of you might know.

Can't drag me away from this beer

 

Had a Schoffenhoffer Weizen at Germany earlier. Now Efes Dark while waiting for candlelight procession. Well, a tick for Turkey.

 

Thanks @Fyb love me some Nightshift

 

I have been looking for a good pilsner. Could this be it?

 

Mikkeller's Beer Geek Dessert.

I had been saving this for about a month and a half for a celebratory moment. Considering I finished finals today, and with just one semester left until I receive my bachelor's degree, I figured today was the occasion. I just wish I had a goblet glass for it. That should really be my next purchase.

 

2013 Bells Expedition stout....getting better all the time.

 

Fresh Squeezed



Cheers!

 

Just one...and I got to go.



I wasn't going to drink today but I was conversing with @PuppyClawz and Double Duckpin sounded like a nice Starter...this batch is blaze!

 

Sometimes I have to scratch the itch, this was my favorite American pre-craft brew, yeah, with a shot!

The champaign of beers! From a can.
