    Survived the 9.9 inches of snow we received over the weekend. I wish I was in Southern California or Vegas, but likely won't head West until Spring at the earliest.

    Scrolling through the jam-packed weekend threads and hitting the first Revolution beer I had back in the day. It remains a solid go to over the years on draft and in the variety packs I am now snagging.

    One more 1973 set, so many good tunes featured on XRT's flashback. Reminded me of when you could hear just about anything on a good radio station, be it reggae, southern rock, metal, soul, pop.

    Wishing you cheers and beers on this first day of February, also my Beer Advocate Birthday!

    I turn six today.

    Good morning early bird @ChicagoJ

    Starting six hours ahead of you with SNPA before lunch which will be made of salmon and rice.

    Hazy orangish brownish. Khaki head. Smells of sharp unidentifiable citrus rind that’s most just a sharp musk. Bergamot. Taste is fresh bread. Green hop tang maybe a bit much for the style. Earth. Dirt. Earl grey. Orange rind essence. Pretty unique. Tiny carb bubbles but prickly. Strong yeast profile. A lot of must. Fairly dry. Frankincense type. I like this but glad I only got one and much better as it warms

    @Shanex with the obscure death metal. I raise you one.



    cheers.

    Good day BAs! Well, three inches so far and expecting at least another three today. I'll clean the driveway (Snowblower!) later today, but we don't have any scheduled outside expeditions until 25 Feb, assuming the on-line beer purchase arrives in a reasonable manner. Today's New Breakfast Beer:

    Actually kind of disappointed - weak coffee brew. Rating 3.58, rDev -9.4%.

    [​IMG] Storm is coming and starting this Monday off with Modestman Center Of Attention. I would say that @SierraNevallagash had a very successful Barleywine tasting and that is awesome. I want to apologize I was planning on having one yesterday, but the wife would have been pissed. Sometimes you need to to choose sex over beer. Cheers all.

    My wife got me a breathalyzer for Christmas and that 15% BW on deck would have ruined Pound Town for me. Cheers man.

    Tell me about it, we have been down this road before in this thread re: our wives or GF and there’s a moment in the day when you know you have to stop and think about what made us fall in love.

    Not that easy to put things in perspective without being too vulgar or sleazy. Cheers!

    Have a good Monday. We and my gf had an amazing dinner last night at a gastropub and then we watched Young Frankenstein. I fell asleep on her shoulder about halfway through so I will have to watch it again. I should have got some energy drinks or something, but I did sleep well last night. Apparently there are school closings today, I had my leftover Rueben for breakfast and it was outstanding.

    From @Shanex Chouffe Blanche. Awesome witbier. Lasting fluffy head retention and soapy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big lemon, pear, red apple, coriander, peppercorn, light banana/bubblegum/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, wood, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness; and yeast spiciness on the finish. Slight wheat tang/tartness. Medium-plus carbonation, light-medium body, and fairly crisp/clean finishing. Balanced creamy/grainy wheat and sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing bitter/spicy dryness; no astringency. Refreshing, minimal warming 6.5%. Spot on style as expected. Big fan. 4.1

    My potty mouth is probably going to get me banned from BA. But hey, I can't help what brewers name their beers! :wink:

    A little chilly today, but the steady breeze and unusual dampness makes it feel another 5-10 degrees colder. Still, a SE GA Winter is warmer than a NE Spring or Fall. :slight_smile:

    Running low on Willettized now that my "local" is out. Time to space them out a little more. But not today. :slight_smile:

    Cheers!

    It's rare I have one PB stout sitting around let alone two; so, with the impending snowday what better than a side-by-side between D96's Stay Puft and TH's Hold On To Sunshine. TH beer is very earthy, peanut-centric and reminds me of Mast Landing's Gunner's Daughter. D96 has that vanilla/mallow addition and tasted more like a Nutter Butter with nuanced peanut. Cheers!!
