What beer are you drinking now? #2159

SN Oktoberfest. Cheers LNBA!

 

Good evening BA
I'm hiding out in the basement, drinking last year's home brewed stout and going through some brewing supplies planning my next batch

Cheers all!

 

I just love this brew. I know I say it too much but I cant help it.

 

Amazing as always. Flavors of huge grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, and light pepper/pine hops; with wheat, biscuit, white bread dough, light honey malt balance; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Very mild pine, grassy, citrus peel bitterness on the finish. Medium-full bodied; bready/grainy wheat/oat creaminess and light hop stickiness in the mouthfeel. Slightly increasing bitter dryness, no hop astringency. Very dank and juicy hops, with perfect malt balance. Never overly sweet/heavy, awesome soft mouthfeel. Super easy drinking. Glad to have this as a year round available beer. This is one of my top most purchased beers ever at the moment. It just doesn't get any better for the style vs availability. Every Old Nation NEIPA is better than most anything else I've had in the state. Glad Boss Tweed is back, and Cart Horse is in this week. Still have some Greenstone to finish off. Will keep buying everything in season.


Outstanding stuff! Aromas and flavors of big juicy/tart/tangy cherries, fruit skin/pits, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toffee, vanilla, toasted oak, nuttiness, and dark bread; with lighter notes of molasses, licorice, raisin, prune, smoke, char, tobacco, and herbal hop. Light herbal/roast/char bitterness and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Medium carbonation and fairly full body; very creamy, silky, velvety, bready, and rich mouthfeel that is amazing. Light slickness, sticky hops, chalky roast, fruit tang/acidity, and increasing dryness. No cloying/acrid flavors. Mildly increasing warmth of 9%, dangerously smooth sipping. Wow, was a huge fan for sure. Amazingly rich and well rounded imperial stout malt complexity; great balance of cherries, without being overwhelming. Nice oak presence, not overly tart or bitter. They really nailed this. Still some available on the shelf. Enjoyed this equally as much as the BBA version. Will keep grabbing more singles while I can.


Cheers

 

I need some more Space...

Had some Elijah Craig bourbon before; prolly gonna have a bit more after this... Off tomorrow, which is cool - due to Yom Kippur - these religious holidays are great for a heathen fucker like me, because they're just freebies...

what you think of this? i love galaxy hops but thought this had a wierd funky cheese taste wasnt my fav.

 

It is not bad and it is not great. No it doesn't exactly ring galaxy hops to me either. I was hoping for more. Oh well it could be allot worse 5 to go in the coming days, so maybe it will grow on me.

 

Last one here...

Cheers!

 

Time for dessert. This is pretty good. The oatmeal is there as is the caramelized malt:

48 years ago tonight, me and 3 friends drove from the Jersey Shore up to Bill Graham's Fabled Fillmore East for "An Evening With The Grateful Dead" and drove back in the morning after the show. I mean it WAS the morning after the show, as it was just before dawn when we got to the car less than an hour after the show . They played 'til 4 or 5.



We didn't drop any clouds that night.
It was all sunshine, as in orange.



My first show at the Fillmore East just happened to be my first Dead show.

That's awesome!

 

Back for some more local juice in the form of Interboro Premiere

This one is so damn well brewed.

Cheers LNBA!

 

There I was minding my own business watching Mayans MC with a Bells Octoberfest & hear this loud pop. That would be the junction between the main & my pressure relief tank on my hotwater heater. The only cut off besides the street is my house main, soooo no water in the house until I get a plumber out. Hopefully tomorrow







Here's some bonus Lone Justice

This beer surprised the hell out of me. I gotta go get more!



Amazing berry flavors and a great firm citrus bitterness. Juicy flavors and feel. Good stuff. 4.29 otu of 5.

 

Good luck on the fix !!
