    Have a good Tuesday. Work again tonight at 11PM. I went to Akronym brewing last night, then me and my GF had a food coma and passed out at 9PM. I woke up around 3AM. After 2 brewery visits this week, I will get to some reviewing for once. I just seem too lazy to review anything these days. It's raining ice outside. Need to do my taxes today as I got the 1099-G in my inbox. Hopefully the tooling engineer job calls me back today. I got a survival video game Humble Bundle for $10 last night, will have to fire one of those up today. I installed Memories of Mars after I bought them.

    From @Shanex box last week. Better get to work, cuz he won't stop telling me to drink the beers :stuck_out_tongue:.Duvel Tripel Hop Cashmere. Awesome Belgian IPA. Poor fluffy head retention, and minimal lacing. Aromas and flavors of big lemon, lime, peach, pear, apricot, red apple, melon, coconut, peppercorn, light banana/bubblegum/clove, cracker, white bread dough, light toast/biscuit, wood, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness; and yeast spiciness on the finish. Medium-high carbonation, medium body, and fairly crisp/clean finishing. Balanced bready/grainy malts, and sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Light lingering resins/rinds through the glass. Light-moderate increasing resin dryness, no hop astringency. Smooth drinking, mild increasing warmth of 9.5% after the finish. Spot on style. Expected nothing less than great stuff. 4.07

    This album is too Epic to not be on Spotify. I haven't listened to them in a couple years. They are French prog metal, one of the best:ok_hand:

    Cheers @superspak and yea I can be a naughty bugger when I send someone some beers and he keeps neglecting on them. :wink:

    Anyways good review and glad that you like it, I agree that for Duvel and even though it’s one of their Tripel Hop variant, the head retention was oddly lacking...

    Currently drinking Carolus Tripel before going for another haul of renovation work. Cheers!

    Good day BAS! Raining and the temperature is just above freezing so it hovers around "NASTY" outside - hope my son got to work OK this morning. Wow @superspak a box from @Shanex - must have had massive shipping costs! Review those Brews!

    Today's New Breakfast Beer is another from Old Nation:

    2016 Bourbon County Proprietor's from my Black Friday days in the Chicago area. The pepper heat is still there along with the cocoa nibs and maple sweetness. A pleasant warmth on a colder day with some nuisance *********s. I'd prefer a REAL snow if it's going to snow!

    Snow is the theme today. Our Nov, Dec and Jan snowfalls until yesterday were 0.7, 2.8 and 5.1. This is the first legitmate snow this year, but still a light dusting for people in WNY or NE Indiana.

    Just had some lunch at https://www.thefunkytruckeria.com/menu. I ate half (right side) of my tacos and all the nachos. I have chips and queso and the other half for later. I think the buffalo cauliflower is my favorite so far. Taco Tuesday is B2GO. I will be going back for that. My gf just went home to get some stuff done for an interview tomorrow that is in Akron, so she might swing by again lol.
