    I have a feeling of that sits a week the booze will calm and the hops will stand out. Just an opinion....

    Hi BAs!!
    My kids are off to an overnight hiking/camping trip with school!! That means an awesome date night for me. That means Portland (fulfilling @SomethingClever 's part wishes) breweries and restaurants for me and missus!!
    First up: Quick flight of all Maine oysters at Eventide Oyster Co (the chefs won the James Beard Award for best chefs in Northeast!!)
    [​IMG]
    Followed by :
    Patina Pale Ale and 6 grain coffee stout (coffee from hoof hearted brewing-yes, they are roasting coffee!!) [​IMG]
    Don't mind if I drink another round!!

    Now moving to neighboring Foundation for a quick pour of THE epiphany!
    [​IMG]
    And then: it's THE Allagash for pour of
    Interlude, dubbel, dawnlander, tripel!
    Now my better half was the designated driver so guess who had to finish the beer!!

    Happy Thursday ba. This never made it out here in bottles last year but I did have it on tap. I'm not the biggest fan of brown ales and I'm not nearly as in love with this as some are. Still pretty decent drinking and the coffee grinds are nice and strong.

    I didn't play the video. Oddly I actually was resigned to a loss despite getting to game 7 in good fashion. Just so hard to win three straight with your back against it - especially against a really good team. I'd be much more upset if it were 2-2 and we couldn't close it out. My frustration peaked in game 4, I guess.

    Anyhow, begrudged congrats (choking down the bile), and go Preds!!

    :grinning:

    P.S. beer - a Guinness as I grab a bite for dinner with GF and friend.

    Stone's right in what they say on the can - this lingers on the edge REALLY close to an IPA. It looks like an IPA (burnt orange, a little hop haze), it smells like an IPA (pine, juicy citrus, some caramalt), it tastes like an IPA (juicy hops prevalent, with some pine at the end of the taste), the only way it's not an IPA is the 5.7% ABV.

    And, like the Seinfeld episode about frozen yogurt, we could have this tested and find out it actually clocks in WAAAAAY above that - you know, in the "Too good to be true" column.

    All I know is that this is a very good APA/session IPA/IPA.

    It's a damn good beer night ladies and gentlemen: Stone Mocha IPA and New Belgium La Follie
    Makes any leftovers better than the sum of their parts.

    I was pleasantly surprised to find that we got a bunch of this well thought of west coast IPA in Vermont. I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, and I'll get a chance to tick Wyoming off my list of states.
