What beer are you drinking now? #63

This, only the "Peated" edition. They ain't lying. If you don't like truckloads of peat, stay the hell away! It was brewed with whisky malt and is probably the biggest peat bomb I've ever tasted.

 

My Belgian Milk Stout!! Incredible!! Rich, thick bitter chocolate with a pretty big hop presence like a RIS and the lactose help coat the tongue with this black elixir!! Wow! 7.4% abv but seems a little boozy, may be the higher carb as this is a Belgian style. Also just 10 days young. Belgian yeast is hidden by all th complexity though.

 

well I hope yesterday counts because I went out with a few friends and the place had only BMC and yuengling. Guess what I drank? oh that and tom collins.

 

Half way through this. I think I am wrong about the ABV. Feels more like a 10%. Going to wax top these and store them for awhile.

 

A friend got me this one. Merry Christmas indeed!

 

I'm having a Batch 19. The bottles showed up in town. And...I'm giving my Lost Abbey glass a well deserved rest:

 

Batch 19 x2



Oh and the bottles are best by May 27, 2013. That's a bit hopeful, imho. Fresh, it's really good.

I like the label: "Banned, Defiantly Bold Beer"; "Back. From The Lost Archives". Coors Archive Brewing.

 

Im drinking a home brewed hefe.

 

Ha! You DO know that you completely fooled me with you BA name change, don't ya?

 

Alfred Strong Dark Belgian-11%abv. Yummy!!

 

BOOM instant increase in rarity with the wax. You should probably hand number them too

 

HFB George,

 

Now drinking an Orval. Bottled May 20, 2011.

It really astounds me how different it tastes with <than a year on it vs 2 or more years. It's like it's not the same beer.

 

After a 6 1/2 hour drive up to my parents house, sitting by the window watching the snow fly by. Local beer time.

 

You have a great friend! I can't wait to try this beer. It's at Bin 2860 just down the road in Los Olivos. I think I'll buy it when I pick up my last two bottles of Eclipse. My wife will kill me, of course, but it'll be worth it. How is it? It looks delicious. I'm such an Old Rasppy fan.

 

Pretty mild barleywine. Not bad, but not really good either.

 

Smuttynose Zinneke to start but going to my brother in-law's later which should yield some delicious treats...

Cheers to one and all out there!

 

Needed to hydrate a bit from those big beers!

 

This two month old Flower Power is one of the best amber ales I've ever had. : /

 

They brought it back, so its back in my glass:

Goose Island's Night Stalker (*eerie night sounds follow*)

Remember getting this after I'd tried BCBS - the BCBS was gone quickly, but I was curious about the brewery, and this was their only other stout offering. I really liked it then, but when I had it a year or so later, it didn't wow me. Maybe it didn't age well? Maybe I was just really enamored with their Big John and Bramble Rye stouts...

Now, resurrected in 2012, I find myself really digging it. Maybe a little different brewing process or ingredients, maybe its (to me) better fresher, maybe my beer palate has evolved - I dunno, but whatta great brew. Cheers!
