What beer are you drinking now? #2440

Good day BAs! Today's New Breakfast Beer:



A very good radler with a fantastic grapefruit nose!

 

Pryes Dublin Dry Stout

 

Big thanks @jzeilinger for knowing I would dig this one. Poured into a 16 Great Divide thin Snulip, bottled on 1/14/19. Pours a very attractive near pitch black with a 3 finger dark tan head, with excellent retention and leaving a few thick waves of lace, poured at around 48 degrees perfect coffee stout temp. 4.5

Smell is vanilla bean, biscuit, cocoa nibs, and some dark roasty coffee. 4.25

Taste is a little more coffee forward, vanilla, cocoa, biscuity grain, and hints of hazelnut. 4.25

Mouthfeel is bigger than average, plenty of life for the style, a touch dry as you would expect, and at 8.4% the alcohol is hidden and very easy to drink. 4.5

Overall another stellar beer from Fat Heads, I am sure when fresh the coffee is bigger and bolder but still drinking great with over 5 months on it. Cheers all. 4.25

 

Another day, another (HA) Bodem.
Stopped by my local taproom last night, since they had Cumbre's Project Dank (summer) on, and I still prefer Bodem. That was a bit of a surprise, but the Cumbre's latest hop blend was too tropical for me. Damn, this beer just gets me. Cheers!

 

Day off off, treadmill done now for the lawn.

 

Hitting the links this morning. A day off from the kids deserve something special.

 

Breakfast, lunch or anytime brew . . .



Clear red gold color with light color cap.

Clean aroma that's mostly malty with a hint of something darkish and sweet like cherry cola.

Nice low key flowing malt rich flavor that offers a hint of roasted malt without any bitterness or roast malt elements like coffee. Just a smooth darkness linked to the malt richness.

Medium texture with balancing carbonation.

A good hit but not a home run, it's decent and enjoyable but not memorable.

 

It’s 7am, the dog has been walked and all the critters fed/medicated...coffee time - Peche Mortel:



Bottled 9/21/18. Black with no ruby edges. Thick dark tan mousse like head with some rocky bubbles; long cap retention; heavy ring and lacing; thin legs; perfection. 5.0

Strong coffee nose after 9 months; cocoa nibs. 4.5

Taste follows nose, add roasted coffee beans, and lite bitter sweet dark chocolate. 4.75

Medium body moderate carbonation; silky feel with a dry finish; very slight warmth from 9.5%. 4.25

Overall an awesome coffee stout; long lasting roast bitterness combined with semi sweet cocoa linger makes this eye-opener perhaps my favorite all time coffee stout. 4.5

I’m heading into San Fran later for a day of public transportation and sightseeing. Cheers and have a great day y’all!

 

Yeah, Peche Mortel and Sump are always jockeying for 1-2 (order or vice-versa) in my world of best coffee stouts. Reminds me I haven't had it in a while... hmm.... good drinking you've had out there lately. Did you retire out to the Left Coast, or you headed back to FL?

 

This is like medicine right now. This is a great stout, Trillium did a great job with the coconut here.

 

3 Fonteinen Golden Blend 17|18. Awesome for summertime days.
Cheers!






Short translation: '6 Lambiks from different casks and 5 different brewing processes. Oldest dating back to 24 th of march 2014, so it will be older than 5 years at the moment this bottle is issued'

Best before date is 2037 by the way. Amazing.

 

Beer: Master of Clouds
Brewery: Magnify Brewing Company (Fairfield, New Jersey)

 

I'm off today and this seemed like a good chore-doin' beer. A 2.9% homebrew Pale Oat Mild.

Santé!

 

Nothings finer than another Shiner.

 

Just some Milwaukee's best ice with lunch, in this case leftover cheese fries. There's a place in this world for cheap lagers.
