    This is really an extraordinary Black IPL. I feel lucky to have obtained the last bottle at the local distributorship.



    Not sure how the title is connected to the style (if it is), but the name alludes to Walt Whitman's tribute to Abraham Lincoln, who began drafting the Gettysburg Address, which he delivered two day later on November 19, 1963.

    Beer #5. Thanks @azuelke !

    Exactly 1 year old. The maple has (presumably) faded, but that has thrown this one into balance. Not too sweet or adjunct-heavy. An easy drinking 12%.

    Badger State Brunchfest Coffee Stout, 5.8% ABV. Pours black and somewhat thick, with a one-finger light brown head that left some foamy lacing. Nose is coffee and slight chocolate. Taste follows, slightly sweet, moderate bitterness. Excellent mouthfeel, overall outstanding. Nice coffee stout that isn't overrun by coffee bitterness.

    Thanks to @GreenBayBA for providing this great Green Bay beer in an in-person trade. Our Packers have a bye this week, so we get to cheer for whomever is playing the Vikings, Bears, and Lions. Not to be petty or anything. :innocent:

    A truck ran up into my yard and ripped off two sizeable limbs of a Bradford Pear. It all happened during the rain and wind yesterday, so I just got out to cut them up this morning.
    Toasting my sawyer skills with a Charles Towne Fermentory Side Stepper.

    I had to google Side Stepper as I am not a gamer. The beer is quite nice, dry and drinkable for a 8.3 ABV DIPA.
    I'm glad Charles Towne brought this back.

    Great Raft -- Reasonably Corrupt



    3.9/5 rDev 0%
    look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75

    Dark, opaque brown body topped with a dense, creamy head. Beautiful smell of charred grain and roasted malts; cocoa and light chocolate. Very fine dark beer flavors and gentle sweetness; milk chocolate and cocoa; bold hop bitterness. Medium body; smooth and full; nice residual sugar body; semi-sweet mouthfeel throughout.

    This beer brings some tasty and glass smooth mouthfeel to the palate. It is rich flavor and full in body without being overly heavy-handed. Great balance and fine complexity throughout.

    Phase Three Pressed Coffee/Vanilla Imperial Porter. I thought I would like their first Pressed release with coffee and maple more, but I think this one might be better. Lots of great gourmet coffee coming through and the vanilla is sweet, almost like vanilla creamer or frosting. But the chocolate that comes through from the base porter is what puts this one over the top. Almost like Hershey’s chocolate syrup or just milk chocolate in general. Reminds me of Oreo's with coffee. Really well done!
