    Good morning/afternoon BAs! I wonder if this thread has kicked off with a Japanese Happoshu before today?



    Kirin Nodogoshi Nama. Not bad, but not very good either. Thanks to @Snowcrash000 for this style ticking trade. Have a great day y’all!

    Good morning, @DoctorZombies! My wife asked why I had @DoctorZombies written on the calendar today. I told her that was to remind me to drink the amazing beer that he gave me, before the deadline that is listed on the label. I just made it at the buzzer! This beer is amazing! All the flavors listed are very noticeable, and they blend perfectly! What a treat! Thank you, sir!

    Good morning BAs! Thanks, @DoctorZombies, for starting today's thread. Most mornings it starts too late for me to join in, but today I'm doing laundry and running behind. Today's New breakfast Beer:



    The photo looks cloudy, but the initial pour is crystal clear and beautiful. I won't buy another of these for myself, but I'll be picking up one for a friend in the UK.

    Coldish (42) and rainy today. Mrs. Z overdid yesterday and is still in bed (2:30pm). The boys took off on foot to find the Firth of Forth. I’m on laundry duty this afternoon with a well stocked fridge - “Pistonhead Kustom Lager” by Brutal Brewing, Sweden:



    I’ve had this before and seem to like it a wee bit better today. Clean crisp lite spicy hops and bready with a whiff of DMS. Poundable at 4.6%. BB date 23 August 2019, so probably 4 months old. Cheap grocery/convenience store beer I’ve seen all over UK. Cheers!

    I am trying this rare Imperial Stout from Epic Brewing, Quadrupel Barrel Aged Big Bad Baptist, ABV 12.30%. It is aged in Whiskey barrels and Rum barrels and brewed with roasted cacao nibs, Barrel Aged coffee beans, Barrel Aged coconut, and Barrel Aged almonds. The flavor (and aroma) has all of that, roasted malts, dark roasted coffee, significant coconut, chocolate, whiskey, rum, and a hint of almond/nutty, some booziness at the right amount. All of that really well balanced. A truly fine Imperial Stout.

    Moving on to a salted caramel milk stout - Fallen Brewing, Scotland, “Chew Chew”:



    Caramel, lite salt, lactose and very lite sweetness; caramel candy finish. Smooth milky tongue coating from the lactose. Quite enjoyable.

    We went to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art yesterday which featured the largest assortment of Warhol early drawings, sketches and art, photos, movie posters and commercial art I’ve seen anywhere. An interesting and worthwhile exhibit.

    I don't "Gulf IPA" is exactly a category but it is catchy . . .

    [​IMG]


    Deep, clear orange gold color with good white cap and lacing.

    Aroma of piney, citursy hops with a decided grapefruit zest bent.

    Taste is hop forward with a solid malt base. Hops play the major role here with strength and vibrancy yet the malt makes it's presence known. Fairly complex flavors well blended together from start to its clean, refreshing finish.

    Great Notion Chuck's Notion IPA. Not the best GN I've had, but it'll do for getting me ready for the new Spiderman flick this afternoon.
