    Howdy all!

    After more visits this morning around the southern bits of Bretagne near Lorient, we stopped at a restaurant overlooking a tiny harbor/marina. This called for a Chouffe Blonde, a steak paired with fries.

    Cheers!

    We visited a museum this morning and one that focus on the French Navy, this is the small model of a French vessel from 1765 that served very effectively during the American Revolutionary War:

    A bit of History, I’m not looking to make it hard on this educated crowd but the Statue of Liberty in New York was offered by France a hundred year after the Declaration of Independence, and unveiled by President Grover Cleveland.

    Good morning BAs! The usual morning chores done…it’s coffee time - Bottle Logic’s “The Fourth Wall” an imperial stout with lactose, coconut, cocoa nibs and almonds:

    [​IMG]

    No canning date. A recent Tavour purchase. Poured at 54°. Fast fizzy tan head; poor cap retention; thin ring and a few spots of lace at best; no legs; black body with ruby edges. Sweet milk chocolate nose; some almond as the beer warmed. Sweet lactose followed by cocoa upon entry; no coconut; toasted brown bread middle; a little almond in the finish. Silky smooth feel, medium light body, moderate minus carbonation; no warmth from 10% abv. Overall this beer is thin for abv and way too sweet; and there’s no coconut. Disappointing.

    3.75 | 4.0 | 4.0 | 3.75 | 4.0
    Score: 3.96 rDev -2.2%

    Mrs. Z is pushing this week to get the patio and house ship shape before our guest arrives, so I’ll spend at least today in the backyard putting tools and miscellaneous into the shed. Cheers and have a great day y’all!

    Good day BAs! Thanks, @Shanex, for starting today's thread! Without the help we received from France, we would probably still be part of the UK - two previous relatives of mine have been named after Lafayette, linking with our(part) French heritage. Another rainy day here on the tundra of NW PA - fortunately it's Laundry Day so I'd be inside most of the day anyway. Today's New Breakfast Beer (actually, NBB Review since I've guzzled several of these without reviewing them):

    [​IMG]

    Decent impy stout - well made for mass distribution. Is it worth $ 1.42/oz? Not IMHO - it's just beer. Over-rated and over-priced, rating 4.1, rDev - 4,4%.

    Yes, I stopped buying most variants, be it from Goose Island, Revolution, or others. The base beers are trypically better, at a far greater value.

    Speaking of which, a nice an easy start to the day clocking in at 5.8% and $1.25 a can plus Chicago, Crook County and Illinois taxes which add 13.14% more to the tab.

    Bell's Oberon - My first of the season, a late start.

    Morning, BAs! Last can of this Talus-hopped Wandering Into the Fog. While I'll certainly buy more WITF, I don't think I'm going to be seeking out Talus hops any time soon.

    Happy Thursday BA's.....weird cool damp weather here this morning - Emma and I did our early morning hike and got sprinked on a little; sun keeps trying to peek through and it is forecasted to be sunny and 70 later (64 and chilly now!)

    This dark lager from my Wooly Pig stash is hitting the spot on this cool morning!

    According to the bottle, there is beer somewhere underneath all that foam.
