What beer are you drinking now? #2284

Here is my low quality cropped down attempt at the eclipse last night. I only used my prime lens wide open aperture, lowish ISO. I am thinking about buying a telescope soon, could be a fun new hobby.


Beer:

Mind blowing insane as expected. Lasting thick head retention/soapy lacing. Aromas and flavors of huge milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, medium roast coffee, almonds, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, coconut, whiskey, rum, marshmallow, fudge, brownie batter, toasted oak, and dark/brown bread; with light notes of molasses, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, char, leather, tobacco, and herbal hops. Very mild herbal/roast/char bitterness, and whiskey/rum/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Light-medium carbonation and fairly full body; with a very creamy, silky, velvety, and rich mouthfeel that is amazing. Slight sticky hops, chalky char/roast, and rum/whisky/oak tannins in the mouthfeel. Slightly increasing lingering bitter/spicy/tannic dryness; no cloying, acrid, astringency. Dangerously smooth, mildly increasing warmth of 11.7%, no barrel booze. Perfectly balanced rich malts, flavorings, and barrel presence/integration all around. Not quite as amazing as Triple barrel when I reviewed it, but quite close.


Cheers

 

Incredible as usual this year. Aromas and flavors of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, and pine hops; with moderate honey, white bread dough, light caramel/toasted malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation, medium-full bodied, and fairly crisp finishing. Balanced creamy/bready malts and sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing bitter resin/rind dryness, no hop astringency. Amazing classic Columbus, Chinook, Centennial, Amarillo, Simcoe profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; with a great balanced malt backbone. Not overly sweet or bitter, extremely well balanced. Lightly boozy alcohol, but dangerously easy drinking. Never disappoints. Feels less sweet than last year. Will get another pack while I still can.

Hoof Hearted Thanks For Letting Us Play Tonight. Fantastic NEAPA. Lasting head retention/thick soapy lacing. Aromas and flavors of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, and pine hops; with moderate wheat, cracker, white bread dough malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; balanced creamy/bready/grainy wheat/oats, sticky hops; and some resins/rinds in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing lingering resin dryness; no hop astringency. Very smooth/soft, 5.5%. Amazing Galaxy profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; with a nice wheat/oat/malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness from lingering resin dryness. Spot on style, got a pack after the review. Hope we see other stuff from them soon.

So excited for a new album next month.

 

Incredible imperial stout. Aromas and flavors of big milk chocolate, cocoa, banana, coconut, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, nuts, and dark/brown bread; with light notes of coffee, molasses, licorice, raisin, cherry, smoke, and herbal hops. Mild herbal/roast bitterness and bourbon/oak spiciness on the finish. Light-medium carbonation and fairly full body; very creamy, silky, velvety, rich mouthfeel that is amazing. Slight sticky hop, chalky roast, and bourbon/oak tannins. Slightly increasing lingering bitter/tannic dryness. No cloying/acrid. Dangerously smooth sipping. Mildly increasing warmth of 11%, with no barrel booze. Another easy winner as expected. Perfectly balanced rich malts, flavorings, and bourbon barrel integration. Minimal booze/tannins on barrels. Always buy more than 1 pack every release regardless. Never been disappointed.


Cheers
