What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2738

Just finished a bike ride. Time to hydrate

 

Sigh - I miss that beer (and also, that style of beer) - all we get out here is Lizard King and N vs. U (both good beers) but nothing else. Cheers, you have good taste, my friend.

 

In the process of “clearing” some “older” inventory to make room for a new haul. Kane Over Head, 3/17/2020.

 

Prairie Artisan Stuf't BBA Imperial Stout, 14% ABV. Pours black with a ring of brown bubbles that left no lacing. Nose is Oreo chocolate and vanilla, slight bourbon. Taste is Oreo, mostly chocolate, slight bourbon, moderately sweet, slightly bitter, some bourbon burn. Excellent mouthfeel though under-carbonated like many Prairie stouts, overall outstanding. This beer originally came out in the Prairie Dawgs club to rave reviews, but they reportedly dumbed it down for this general release, with complaints of fake vanilla (vanillin) taste - which should be expected given that it's made with Oreos which use vanillin. I bet the original Stuf't had vanillin, and something else changed, like less Oreos. I still like it, but would have liked to have tried the original.

4.27/5 rDev -3.6%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

This had been somewhat of a whale to me ever since I heard it came out limited to Prairie Dawgs. Unless they added real vanilla to the original (plus the vanillin in the Oreos) and left it out of this, then I bet another change is at play here. Real nice spring day here, sunny and in the 50's.

 

Oh no way... me jeloo Beer from Estonia! I want to try their Forest Series!

 

I'm having a Victory Dirt Wolf DIPA. Wifey doesn't much care for hops so she's having a glass of wine and I don't have to share. This is a wonderful example of an Imperial IPA citrus fruits are strong in both the aroma and flavor. There's grapefruit & orange to accompany some pineapple. This is in regular rotation at my house, and for good reason.

 

Haven‘t had this in a longer while. It‘s just as great as I remembered it, cheers!

 

Jester King Das Uberkind. A nice tart saison that they release every once in a while. I do enjoy this, but not as much as say Jolly Pumpkin Oro De Calabaza. Let alone something like Saison Dupont. Though is a nice Sunday sipper.

Spinning Andrew Hill's Dance with Death. This is part of the late 70's, early 80's Blue Note reissues. They still had a huge backlog of recordings from the 60's that hadn't been pressed yet. Unlike the previous reissue series, some of these were not that great, and often pretty poorly recorded. This is one of the highlights from this series for me though (along with Wayne Shorter's The Soothsayer were the two best to be released this time around).

 

Late start today. Cheers, peeps.
