What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2606

Your picture works for me too.

Imgur as a direct link from the app apparently isn’t supported anymore so like other third party image hosting site you’ve got to embed your pics link which apparently you succeeded.

 

Buy it, go back home, chill it, drink it and stay at home! Same brewery as Cuvée des Trolls by the way.

 

Using it too often? Yeah, that's ridiculous. Imgur is what I use 100% of the time, so if it ever sh*t the bed on me, I'd reluctantly have to find an alternative.

 

Having another Nelson. Yes, I really love this beer. Cheers!

 

Happy Monday, BA! Starting with a new brewery to me, AKiA Brygghus and their APA Press Play On Tape. Very enjoyable.

It’s been 10 years this year since the original drummer of Avenged Sevenfold passed away. Listening to stuff from all of their albums tonight. This one is for Jimmy.

 

Was never a huge fan of Korn, but Blind is one of the most iconic debut album openers of all time. ARRRRE YOOOOUUU RRREADYYYYY!?

 

Spoetzel Brewery -- Shiner Bohemian Black Lager



3.39/5 rDev -2.3%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Deep, dark brown body; nice carbonation; thick and creamy head. Faint aroma, generally malty with a bare suggestion of roasted grain and chocolate. Watery, roasted grain flavor; faint caramel; decent hop bitterness at the finish. Medium-light body; a little fizz at the finish of each sip; rather watery; malt grain warmth develops at the finish.

The beer's best feature is its looks. Otherwise, while not a total washout, the beer comes across rather thin and weak where it counts -- the smell and taste. It gets a bit better as it warms up, yet doesn't escape the mundane.

 

Spoetzel Brewery -- Shiner Holiday Cheer

Revisited 12-10-19

Original ratings: 3.5 3.75 3.75 3.5 3.75 (Your Rating 3.71)

The appearance is top-notch; brownish-amber body with excellent carbonation; the head is dense and cream, very long lasting. Nothing changes with the aroma; peaches mainly but with some nutty malt elements. The taste dips; the initial impression is of watery, cherry soda; some warmer malt and pecan notes develop late. Medium-light body; thin and somewhat fizzy; nice overall warmth.

Like many Spoetzel offerings, the taste and mouthfeel just feel weak and watery. It's a shame since their various style offerings could be so much more with some extra effort. For a holiday ale, this beer works, but falls on the lightweight side of more robust offerings from other breweries.
--------------
Nice, copper colored body with a good, foamy head. Definite peach aroma along with a nice, malty character. Light, caramel malt body with a fruity tang. Medium bodied; dry finish.

Shiner created a nice, easy drinking holiday ale. The peach and pecan nuttiness are noticeable but not overpowering. Good complexity and balance with a unique and enjoyable flavor.

Some Belgian winter beer next, Winter Mess by De La Senne.

 

As my wife is fond of telling me, welcome to the joys of home ownership...

Try to stay positive (at least for the family's sake)...
