What beer are you drinking now? #1190

Why on God's green Earth??? I lived in Germany for three years & was never tempted by that evilness! At least the Calzone looks good

 

Think I am slowly weaning myself from sleep. Up since two this morning; watched The Martian and the beginning of the new Bond flick. Both are rather lengthy movies, hence the multiple beers. Cheers.

 

Vacation week!
Mrs Wiens and I are flying into Tampa today (non-stop, so we'll avoid the mess along the East Coast), and I have a 9 am tee time tomorrow. I hope you Floridians have some nice warm weather for us.

 

Fizzy yellow lager to start this "beautiful" Saturday. And by beautiful, I mean a high barely into the 20's with 10-20 mph winds to make the real feel stay in the single digits (it's 16 right now with a real feel of 3). Yeah, it's an inside day today.

 

Buck up man! Get some quality!

 

Perfect for the kind of weather we're having outside at the moment.

 

bottled "29SEP14".

 

Starting my day with a little Brown Shugga'

 

Good morning BA, have a great Saturday!

My go-to English styled Porter. Big robust and complex flavors of milk chocolate, cocoa, light coffee, caramel, toffee, toast, brown sugar, brown bread, and light nuttiness; with restrained plum/apple English yeast fruitiness and light-moderate herbal hops. Balanced herbal/roast bitter finish with a great creamy/silky mouthfeel. An all around incredible beer every single time.


Great IPA. Flavors of big peach, mango, pineapple, papaya, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, and light peppery hops; with moderate malts of caramel/toasted bread and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Moderate piney/spicy/citrus rind bitterness; moderately dry with a sticky/resinous mouthfeel with a bit of balancing creaminess as well. Really glad I ended up getting a 6 pack of this. I still prefer Centennial as my Founders go-to IPA, but this is really delicious too. I find the malt character of both to be pretty similar, but this one feels more resinous on the hops overall, so there is quite a bit of increasing dryness from that character.


Wow, I haven’t had this in years, but it is just as amazing as I remember. Flavors of enormous dark roasted coffee; with milk chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, cream, caramel, toffee, dark bread, light smoke/char, and herbal/piney hops. Bitter coffee/char and piney hop finish; with a great creamy/silky mouthfeel. Feels more bitter than I remember, but the mouthfeel is still great and the flavor profile is still amazing.


This is a delicious dubbel! Glad I grabbed another bottle, I first reviewed this one about 2 years ago. Big flavors of raisin, plum, blackberry, prune, fig, pear, clove, and peppercorn yeast notes; with balanced dark candi sugar, toasted brown bread, biscuit, and nutty malt flavors; with a bit of herbal hops. Spicy and light-moderate dry finish. Light biscuity creaminess in the mouthfeel. Highly drinkable for near 8%. I would definitely have this again, especially if they did 4 packs with it. Seems to share a lot of similarities to QUAD in the flavor profile, I love it.


Cheers!

Can't wait for this album, next Friday. I am fully confident it will be a 2+ hour album after seeing the track listing.


Haken keeps teasing on their new album, should be this Fall probably. Will definitely be a top 5 album of the year too.

 

Happy Saturday, BA's

Found a few of these left in my cellar.....pretty overcarbed, but still tasty regardless!

Stay warm and safe out there peeps!



Pretty full of citrus! Look at dat head / fro!

 

Fuckloads of snow expected today which means multiple shoveling expeditions. Gotta start the internal fire with a true classic. Real coffee be damned. Have a great day my friends. Cheers.

 

Watching the snow pile up. This is an English Pale Mild Ale. 4.1% ABV. I have to stay lucid enough to shovel later today. Cheerio and stay safe, everyone!

 

BA Fest at Sierra Nevada Torpedo Room in t-minis 5 hours and change...gotta prime the pump.
Not a SN beer but screw it

 

Nothing like fresh cinnamon rolls in a snow storm!!!
