Coffee brown. Huge coffee, Forgot I used chocolate wheat cause we were out of light chocolate.

 

Another pint of the new NE Pale, please! Now that it's fully carbed, it's really poppin'! Big aroma, very fruit forward with a dankness on the finish. Drinks bigger than a 4.8% beer. Really tasty!

First bottle of a sour raspberry. Only 2 weeks in the bottle, so nothing great about it yet. Good flavors for sure, and no off flavors! No funk yet from the brett L and B that I added at bottling.

 

1) Interesting beer idea.
2) That TV is way too high on the wall.

 

1)thanks she really liked it
2)
Not too high just he angle lol

 

A winter warmer focused on ginger. Came out much darker than I wanted, so I'll need to cut back on the Munich and Chocolate Wheat I used, maybe 1/2 of each and see what happens. Was 58% MO, 29% Munich, 8.5% Malted Oats, and 4.5% Chocolate Wheat. Probably up the amount of ginger as well, as it's a nice note now, but I could go for some more oomph.

 

Toto's twin chocolate vanilla coconut brown porter. Aroma and taste are just as you would expect but finishes dry enough you want another sip. Also quite drinkable at around 5%. This definitely cracks the regular rotation.

 

RDWAHAHB.

Currently drinking my homebrewed pale ale, "Ryan Sherman's Tears." Brewed in honor of me winning a bet with Ryan about OSU not making the playoffs. Bite me, Ryan! . Just an easy drinking, slightly malty, lightly hopped, then dry hopped with simcoe pale ale. Nothing fancy, but goes down easy. The label was designed by my wife and then printed onto mailing labels just to rub it in his face a bit more. Hah!

centennial during the boil, then threw in some simcoe in the dry hop just because I had some extra laying around. Next up---a focal banger clone before my spring saison bonanza hits.

 

I'm enjoying my annual Christmas Solera Burton Ale (inspired by the late Fred Eckhardt and the Ballantine Brewery of Newark, NJ). This is year #26 of my solera, and it's tasting exquisite.
