    Just finished a day of being on call, and looking forward to ten days of no call.
    Let the beer drinking begin!

    Ever since they started me on Exforge I just can't handle the hot stuff! Enjoy it while you can!

    Yesterday was graduation at UF. Wife (retired faculty) and I attended functions and then a party/fish fry with PhD student (and his family)we have been hosting. Fun day and lots of good food.

    Something strong to wake me up:

    Good morning BA, hope you all have an enjoyable Sunday. Just doing the laundry right now, and about to play some Xbox. I just recently have started playing more games recently, after not doing so for a while.

    Going back to Ohio this weekend so I need to clear out my stash of Ohio IPAs. This is still tasting incredible! Flavors of big grapefruit, tangerine, mango, pineapple, lemon/orange peel, and pine; with some light caramel/bready malt balance and dank floral/grassy hop earthiness. Aggressive pine/citrus rind bitter, dry, and sticky finish. Always delicious! Still got a handful of White Rajah to clear out too.

    This is an excellent English winter warmer. Big flavors of raisin, plum, fig, cherry, pear, apple, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, toasted biscuit, and light nutty/roast maltiness; with moderate herbal, floral, pepper, piney hop notes; with a bit of yeasty earthiness. Moderate pine/spicy bitterness; with a very smooth finish with balanced creaminess and hop stickiness in the mouthfeel. Just all around great complexity and balance of hop, yeast, and malt flavors. I look forward to aging some as well. After 2 months since my review, there already is noticeable mellowing of the hop notes. Glad I got a 6 pack and may stash away some more as well.

    Great quad! Huge flavors of raisin, prune, fig, cherry, date, apple, light banana, pepper, clove, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, and light nutty maltiness; with some herbal hop and yeasty earthiness. Fair amount of yeast spice on the finish; with a great balance of yeast and malt flavors with no cloying sweetness. Some creaminess and slight slickness in the mouthfeel. Well attenuated overall considering the ABV. Really glad I grabbed a 4 pack, this is excellent stuff for an American made Quad. Tons of complexity and great balance all around.

    Incredible stuff as usual. Enormous flavor of dark roasted coffee with dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, toasted dark bread, and light smoke/char maltiness; with a bit of herbal/piney hop notes. Good sized roasted coffee and piney bitter finish; creamy/silky medium-full bodied mouthfeel. Super smooth for the ABV. A real winner, glad they are available in MI again with the recent new Shelton distributor. I hope to see some of their newer releases in the future.

    Cheers!

    This got released last weekend. My top album of the year right now. Prog instrumental metal.


    Keeping the instrumental theme going. Best AAL album IMO, but they are all fantastic.

    Lol. I have the same beer for NBS! I won't read your review until I write/post mine today.
    PS, I think Ten Fidy is pretty awesome....

    Weird how threads get closed here. Anyway, had a great breakfast and a Dogfish Head Higher Math. Now "working" :slight_smile: on a Thirsty Dog Wulver, my favorite Wee Heavy Ale.

    Again, a good Sunday all...
