What beer are you drinking now? #3158

Good morning from North America. Up early to work on some call reviews. This requires fortification. Happy Sunday, all.

 

Good morning BA. Workout is complete and it’s time for the dreaded laundry. Starting off with one of my absolute favs. Boulevard’s Rye on Rye-perfect sipper while watching the rain storms blow through.

Enjoy your day everyone!

 

Another really special brew from @jzeilinger and New Trail. 10.5% NETIPA. Cheers all.

 

Good Morning America! Cross post with New Beer Sunday 851 / Weekend 47! This is a heavy ABV that drank very easy, too easy. I'm going to crash for a bit before resuming the day.

Really liked your song today @Shanex ! Never heard of that band before, but loved how the song built up. Always look forward to clicking play on your songs, especially European imports.

2nd Shift Liquid Spiritual Delight



Full review linked here. Long story short, let this warm to get wonderful complexity, coffee is excellent, nice chocolate fudge and vanilla backing, like the malt profile, creamy rich and decadent. This is my second 2nd Shift Brewing beer (the other a Pilsner), and both are 4.5+ beers. Don't sleep on their beers.

I slept through Saturday Morning Flashback, and after reviewing their set list, I am glad I did. A rare miss in terms of their overall selections for 1994-1995.

Here are the only two solid songs of the three hour set lot.



The third Garbage tune I heard this weekend, it's been too long.


See you back with something more low key later today.

 

Starting off with some Tree House coffee (House Blend) on ice and con leche. These guys know to make coffee. I regret not buying more than the one four pack that I did.



And now some Tree House Free To Roam (Oak-Conditioned Helles), from the can. These go down so easily.

 

Good day BAs! Thanks, @Shanex, for starting today's thread! How about a picture of the fishes? Inquiring turtles want to know! Well, we had some rain overnight - the street was wet except under the maples and oaks. I may get my zucchini planted (FINALLY!) today - it's essentially a weed and'll produce fruit within a week or two. My peppers and tomatoes have blossoms and will probably be ready to pick when we're in Iceland - my neighbors and son usually reap the fruits (sic) of my labors! Today's New Breakfast Beer is one I brought back from TX:



I sucked down a LOT of these on my resent TX visit - Damn good! Rating 4.2, rDev 0%. Cross-post with NBW/NBS.

 

Watching England vs Croatia, drinking Casita Brewing Zero To Kimono



Cheers!

 

Somebody must think Cou Ronner is a fine wine!?!
ps-But obviously you know the business! Cheers!

 

Happy Sunday BA's! 4 hours of OT and a little shopping complete. SN Summer Break, nice, light and hitting the spot.

Gearing up for second half, drinking Casita Brewing Guess How Much I Love You



Cheers!

 

Cross post from NBW:

I picked today’s new to me beer up at the brewery last month in Asheville, NC - “Dark Age”, a BBA Imperial Stout by Wicked Weed Brewing:



At 54 degrees pours black with grayish/ruby edges; quick dark tan head recedes quickly leaving a small island of micro dots and a thin plus ring; some spotted lacing and thin legs upon agitation. Strong bourbon nose up front, followed by sweet prunes; chocolate as beer warms. Bourbon forward entry, then sweet caramel, chocolate and dark stone fruit; bourbon and oak middle; prunes and chocolate covered cherries middle; bittersweet dark chocolate and bourbon in aftertaste. Medium full body; moderate minus carbonation; medium warmth in mouth from 12.3% abv; smooth, almost silky mouthfeel; not adjuncty; slight phenolic bite; dry barrel finish. Overall outstanding; the barrel notes are well balanced with base; bourbon is front and center; a tad thin for abv, which makes this beer dangerously easy drinking, and I personally like the subtle booziness; well done!



4.25 | 4.25 | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4.5
Score: 4.43 rDev +3%
Cheers y’all and have a great Sunday!

 

Game is picking up, so…



Cheers!

 

Am I dazzled, no. But it is pretty tasty stuff.

 

Hot and hazy already, heading for the 100s.
Seemed like a good time to pop this one.
