    Pigeon Hill -- Cinna-Mom on French Toast (kudos to @superspak)



    3.77/5 rDev -11.5%
    look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75

    Inky black with a thin yet lasting light tan head. Incredible aroma; truly smells like french toast; maple syrup; a touch of bourbon. A rather strange flavor; sweet with an almost sour backdrop; cocoa; diluted maple syrup; a little metallic; a strange bitterness. Heavy body; thick and viscous; oily, chewy.

    It looks like the can was filled on 02/12/18. This might explain the weird flavors I pickup. Although one would also expect a big, dark, imperial stout to age well (generally speaking). The aroma was truly outstanding. And the looks were good for a high ABV stout. There is not much of a boozy presence at all. But there is certainly a somewhat off flavor with this beer. Perhaps in my fairly frequent visits to Michigan and Ohio, I might be able to pickup a fresher version. I'm wagering it may have a more appealing taste. I can hope.
    --------------
    I saw this movie in the theater when it was released. The Bo Diddley segment blew everyone else away. This excerpt seems to have the sound a bit out of sync, but there's no denying Bo's power and presence...

    Supersize me! Gas station beer in a hotel room. It smells and tastes a little skunked, but I’m drinking it anyway. I would have liked it if the SNPA I had before was this big. Company that I work for is wearing me out this tour.

    Hi All. I rarely pop in here, but I really wanted shout high praises to @Buck89 for hitting me with a most interesting take on an IPA:
    Strawberry Upside Down Cake IPA by Southern Grist
    https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/44180/308246/

    Holy cow. Southern Grist really hit what they were going for. I wouldn't drink this daily, but it is unique and tasty. Thanks for this gem, John.
    Great meeting you and the wife. Look forward to another meet up.

    Cheers.

    First of two new Upslope beers tonight... I first had stuff by this brewery about, oh... 6 years ago, when it was brought back from the CO area by a good friend of mine. Now it seems to be available in my area.

    Review here!

    Took a risk buying a sixer of this one, as it's not bottle dated, but hit a home run. No sign of excessive age or oxidation. Really, really good!

    Excellent tripel and pilsner at the very local Bryan/College Station Zoigl! Wish I could share them with all the BAs!

    Testing a new family tent and a new Ninkasi (for me anyway).
    They both turned out decent, but of course I'll get more use from the tent.
