    I'm feeling disoriented right now. I sat on the couch and engaged in a staring contest w/ the dog. We both almost fell asleep. Haha. Now he's following me around because he wants to go for a a walk. I think the initial Vegas season of the Real World might be the worst season ever. None of these people are engaging. Oh yeah, here's a hazy. On a positive note, the Galaxy is tasting like it did back in the day when I considered it a top 3 hop (for me). Cheers!

    Had most of their beer list, this one is new to me.

    Brewery Notes:
    7.1% Pecan Porter, 16 oz draft.

    Appearance: Dark Brown base, bright white head, light carbonation permeates. Poured close to the rim. 4.0

    Aroma: Chocolate Fudge and pecan, caramel malt backs. All sweet, but doesn’t smell cloying. Medium strength. 3.75

    Taste: Consistent with aroma, chocolate fudge, sweet caramel, pecan, chocolate malt. All work well together. 3.75

    Mouthfeel: Very sweet, very light and easy drinking, prickly carbonation add to a light watery body. Caramel malt and sweetness lingers. 3.5

    Overall: This is a good stout, sweeter than I typically like, but I am enjoying the different tastes. 3.75

    May turn out to be a 1970s themed Two for Tuesday.

    First of two just played here.

    6 years ago today, my dad had a horrible accident that lead to his death a couple weeks later. I'm trying to be happy, but on this day it's tough.

    Padishah 2022 - Mobcraft Brewing - Imperial Stout - 11% ABV

    https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/32325/577393/#navigation

    4.34/5 rDev +4.1%
    look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
    This beer looks like I'm pouring motor oil. It is pitch black pouring with a 1 1/2 finger brown head. He bubbles are fairly small for the most part. The head retention is quite good. There's really no lacing as the head dissipates to a ring around the edge of the glass.
    The aroma is a very pleasing mix of brown sugar, toffee, caramel, bourbon, chocolate, and dark fruit.
    I get a lactose like flavor up front. I don't think there's any in here. I get a lot of chocolate in the flavor with plum, raisin, and fig. Caramel and toffee make the mix also.
    The body is fairly thick. There's a bit of a burn on the backside.
    Delicious!

    Back to Saddle Mountain Brewing Company in Goodyear, AZ, while they have the Tripel on tap. Plus a Glenlivet 15, neat.

    Interesting trivia:
    Goodyear is home to Luke Air Force Base.
    It is named after WW1 pilot Frank Luke, who shot down many reconnaissance and barrage balloons.
    "Frank" was the callsign for the F22 Raptor pilots who went up to shoot down the Chinese "weather (haha)" balloon a couple days ago.

    There is a pretty good head on this, one of Treehouse's few and far between nicely bitter beer.

    Full review in the Cask Appreciation thread. WBAYDN take, this is near or exactly the same beer as London Brown Ale, I’ve enjoyed both over time.
