Halle Berry's pet Octopus: NBS BIF 8

I’m looking to try that one myself in the not-too-distant future.

 

Did a blind review of the Kentucky Beer Dad, it is great, I feel that it was pretty close to Sucaba in quality, with a unique doppelbock like mouthfeel and finish.

4.55/5 rDev +6.8%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5

16 oz can poured into a tulip

A- A murky ruby red/brown with a small off white head. 4

S- Caramel, toffee, bourbon, dark fruits, figs, some cherries, oak. 4.5

T- Caramel, dark fruits, bourbon, cherries, figs, hints of chocolate, a little earthy, oak, very well balanced. 4.75

M- Smooth, medium to full body. 4.25

O- A fantastic beer, very well balanced and easy to drink, truly worth seeking out. 4.5

 

Now I'm even more interested - that sounds fantastic! Great review, Larry!

 

Thanks @Dragginballs76 ! This is from his “thank you” box. Much appreciated Mike!

16 ounce can, dated 03SEPT2018 with #MANDABAV printed on bottom.
Pours a golden yellow, with some haze. Chill haze perhaps?
Fluffy white head of about 1 finger, recedes to small ring around glass with great lacing.
The nose is tangerine, white grapefruit pith, green melon and cracker.
Grapefruit, honeydew melon, grass, light dank, Clementine orange and lemon candy.
Softer mouthfeel, lighter carbonation, lingering hop finish.
Good beer, I usually prefer a sharper hop bite but there is a ton of flavor for the lighter ABVs.
The past 2 days I’ve worked 36 hours and I’m very thirsty. Mrs Strohme2 and I hit Founders-Detroit for a quick lunch and CBS bottle pickup. She doesn’t know it yet, but many, many beers are to be opened this weekend.

 

Cool picture.

And cheers on the many beers to be opened this weekend.

 

I feel like you are teasing me!!!

 

Hello all long time since I've been here. I'll say I could be enticed to partake in this event but mostly it will depend on the timing of it. We have some travel planned in Dec so alot depends on the dates.

 

I had picked up a couple of 4 packs but sent my last couple of cans up for the Philly share. If I can find some more you guys will be the first to know...

 

I read that as 160 oz cans at first and thought damn he sent minikegs!

 

I hope someone does this next round. For shits and giggles.

 

Oh, boy! HAAAAAA! I'd have a tough time getting those into a flat rate box.

 

You could fit one in the boxes that @FlintB hit me with.

 

¼ Quarter Bottle = 200 ml

½ Half Bottle = 375 ml

Bottle = 750 ml

Magnum = 1.5 L (2 bottles)

Jeroboam = 3 L (4 bottles)

Rehoboam = 4.5 L (6 bottles)

Mathusalem = 6 L (8 bottles)

Salmanazar = 9 L (12 bottles)

Balthazar = 12 L (16 bottles)

Nabuchodonosor = 15 L (20 bottles)

 

We will be drinking a Nabuchodonosor‘s worth of beer tommorow. I mean Larry is bringing a god damn Magnum. We’re easily gonna hit 15 L.

 

That time frame would work for me as my travel is the is the 13th thru the 16th of Dec.
