What beer are you drinking now? #2247

Here is a special request by @mickyge and @TheGent. Like Buddy the elf hitting you in the face with 100 snowballs.

 

1st thing I thought of was the Queen video, I Want To Break Free. And I love Queen. Cheers!

 

Mango River from Pizza Boy:

 

Amazing batch this year as usual. Flavors of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, fudge, brownie batter, marshmallow, vanilla, caramel, toffee, bourbon, toasted oak, and dark bread; with lighter notes of coconut, smoke, charcoal, raisin, fig, cherry, and dates. Touch of booze in the aromas as it warms, but not overwhelming. Light-moderate roast/char bitterness and bourbon/oak tannin spice on the finish. Very full bodied creamy, silky, velvety mouthfeel; some light slickness, chalky roast, and barrel tannins. Lightly increasing dryness from bitter char and bourbon/oak tannin. Very smooth sipper, mildly warming 12.9%, zero barrel booze. Definitely a step up from the base beer on complexity, super rich. Classic RIS flavors with awesome barrel presence; without being overly tannic, drying, or boozy. Love the marshmallow/fudge brownie notes that come from the barrel aging. Gets easier to find with every release. Still have another can left.


Cheers

 

I had to work until 2, then headed down to the riverfront park for a

Smoked brat and a Rauchbier, Sun's out, couldn't be better.

 

was that picture taken in July, it looks fairly warm there.

 

That's what the mailman who looks EXACTLY like him keeps asking me.

 

At Twin Elephant Dibs a Belgiun Saison excellent brew

A pretty good evening I must say! Cheers from chilly Edinburgh!

 

His name was Robert Paulson.

 

Prepping for family on 1st holiday celebration of the year! Just kidding, should be fun.
Thanks to @TongoRad for crossing off this longtime want and first Carton beer!

 

I hope so too. I listened to Die By the Sword on the way home from work last night. Had my elbow resting on the door and the music was so loud I thought it was going to dislocate my shoulder.

 

Great posts today people!

First beer of the day for me, and it’s courtesy of the very generous @FFFjunkie

This is an amazing IPA. Plain and simple.





Cheers!

 

Getting away from the dark for the time being.

 

It is the usual year-round temperature that Vince Lombardi signed into law of 17 degrees, but the field-turf we have on our lawns melts this snow very quickly.

 

someone I work with has that same dress, he doesn't wear it as well as you.

 

I’m not just saying this because you have an 80 foot satellite sticking out of your ass right now: fantastic form.

 

You listen to heavy metal, but pair BLS with a Pig Destroyer "amazing IPA?"

 

Stoutfest today with beer, pizza, board games and good friends. First empty: CBS 2017, bigger maple presence after a year in the bottle. Cheers!
