What beer are you drinking now? #1923

Good morning BAs!

Today's New Breakfast Beer is:



A passable Oud Bruin, but the price point is too high for the quality.

 

StormBreaker • Rye Barrel Aged Olde Imperial Stout

 

Morning meds in the glass .. Dr.’s orders
Well maybe that’s not what he actually said, but that’s what I heard

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE !!

 

8% alcohol. 45 IBU. Introduced in 2016. Brewed in Louisiana.

 

This “doctor” approves, and will write your re-fill RX any day - Cheers!

 

First time with this BA beauty:



Well balanced flavors - the cocoa, bourbon and vanilla all are present and accounted for in a pleasing way. The barrel woodeness plus the rye aspect is a bit drying for me, yet everything else about this big porter is exceptional.

I dropped my iPhone 6 in its charger the other night and I’m typing through a shattered screen. As I have no computer and only use this device to hang out with youse guys, I’m off to the repair store later today; maybe some beer shopping will ensue while I’m out? Cheers breakfast BAs!

 

Thanks Doc !!
I knew that I could count on you and your appropriate diagnosis for this old fellas aches and pains

 

HAHAHA !!
CHEERS DOC

I think I’m going to start writing some prescriptions .. Lol

I want your review again on this brew after a second one
Sniff and sip .. no rushing these 12 abv bad boys !!!

 

I’ve got to head out in a bit, so no formal review, but I hand write in my log every beer (and have done s for years) and could write one up later today when my phone is fixed. My rating:
4.75 4.25 4.5 4.5 4.5
As you can see, I like this beer!

 

Happy Thursday. I like this beer, just wish it was a little less chunky. Cheers!

I picked up Sierra Nevada's new Experimental Hop Pack yesterday, so I am going to drink through them today. All the IPAs are canned 1/8, the pilsner is from 1/5, so a little over two weeks old. Starting with the IPA. Wow! I really like this. A nice change of pace from most IPAs. It tastes like a hoppy pilsner, herbal spicy hops. Great aroma! Here we go!

 

Fresh DIPA from Bare Hands in northern Indiana. Cheers!

 

On to the Pilsner, nice and clean with an excellent fruity and spicy finish

 

A stronger malt presence in this one. The sweet malts and and spicy hops blend together nicely. I appreciate the fact that the malt comes off as sweet, but not grainy.

 

Working my way through the six pack . . .





Clear, shimmering light gold color with white cap and lacing.

Aroma of subtle malt and light floral, spicy hops.

Taste on entry is a subtle malt core surrounded by floral hops with just a taste of the garden, which is to say freshly picked but as yet unwashed product that contains still a hint of the earth. Hoppiness builds a bit more firmly as we approach the finish and lingers in the aftertaste.

 

Good morning. Cup o joe

 

Done with classes for the day, the pup has a vet's appointment at 3:00, she may end up getting a "calming chew" before we leave. Me? This new IPA from Red Hare Brewing - Soft J.


Another GA take on the NE style, a lot of citrus on the nose, some astringency. Taste is very citrus forward, oranges, sweet mandarins, grapefruit notes. Not getting a huge amount of bitterness, but a smooth mouthfeel. As it warms a little herbal notes are coming through. If this had a little bit more dry hop character I'd be happy. But overall probably one of the better beers I've had from Red Hare.

Cheers all!
