What beer are you drinking now? #2292

That's better. Girlfriend tries to serve me chicken bacon. Nope......

 

26 more years to go go. Damn! I did construction every summer for many years. Was a high rise iron worker for a few years in my early twenties.. No way I could do 30 years. Not tough enough to be blunt.

One good thing is that you will not be tied to a desk in a cubicle. Did that. It sucked.

Make sure you get good finacial retirement advice. Not me.

 

Oh no.....go hog or go home....

 

Are we talking Beatles Hey Jude?

 

This is Double Maple 4 Elf. This was awesome! Lasting head retention/soapy lacing for the ABV. Aromas and flavors of huge caramel, maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses, toffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, cardamom, ginger, peppercorn, citrus peel/zest, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of licorice, chocolate, cocoa, coffee, smoke, char, raisin, plum, prune, cherry, fig, date, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, grassy, roast/char bitterness; and peppery cardamom/cinnamon/clove spiciness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; very creamy/silky/bready malts, some sticky spice, and light chalky roast in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing bitter/spicy dryness, no cloying/astringency. Dangerously smooth, minimal warming 11%. Perfect balance of rich malts, maple syrup, and spice flavors; with balancing earthy hops against sweetness, and restrained fruity yeast complexity. Was definitely an improvement over the base beer. Double ingredients, with the same water. Not overwhelming on any aspect. Will get again. 4.13


Cheers

 

Flying dog; double dog mixed with miller lite. The double dog alone smells awesome....the taste is good at first but very bitter at the end. So i just happened to have both in the fridge, I mixed half and half, well my oh my! What a great pair, take the after taste from the double away, but adds some sweetness to the brew.

 

Was the battery a DieHard?

Wife and daughters want me to eat healthier. Not a problem but chicken bacon or saughes. Really?

 

Not sure, and I'm not going to deal with the brutal cold to go to my garage to find out.

At least not till I have to go to work tomorrow.

 

I'm officially jeleous!

 

A whole other discussion for a whole other night.

 

Back of the kitchen fridge gold from Founders. Cheers!
