What beer are you drinking now? #3782

Good day BAs! Thanks @Shanex for starting us off today! Been up an hour or so, a bit early for me these days, but it's late morning/early afternoon in Munich where I'll soon be. Today's New Breakfast Beer:



Unusually average brew from Founders, but then the price point is unusually low. Still, some pineapple and mango shine through. Rating 3.52, rDev -7.1%.

Stiil dark outside, so



Or my personal favorite version

 

Today is my Sunday, so I might as well join you all with a new beer.

Fill Me Up Buttercup - Goose Island Brewing - American Stout - 6.4% ABV

I like it a lot. So glad I picked it up yesterday.

3.69/5 rDev +3.1%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
This beer pours pitch black from the can. The head is quite thick at 3 fingers. I had to take 2 attempts to pour the full contents into my glass. Head retention is decent and there's a nice bit of lacing on the glass as the head dissipates.
The aroma is fairly faint. I get a very faint whiff of chocolate and peanut butter.
The flavor starts out slightly roasted, when the chocolate kicks in. The peanut butter really kicks in on the back, and is more of a sweet peanut butter, while the chocolate does remain. The chocolate leans toward milk chocolate in this beer, There's a good deal of sweetness to this beer, but it's not over the top, and is pleasing.
Body is very creamy feeling and smooth. The sweetness from the chocolate and peanut butter does linger in my palate. Beer isn't thin at all.
This is quite tasty, and a pleasure to try.

 

Good day/morning advocates! Slept in again…coffee time - Guinness Foreign Extra Stout:



Roast bitterness. I’ve always liked this beer, even more when it’s on sale at the grocery store. Have a marvy Monday y’all, and Cheers!

 

Yeah, I know. I'm about 20% French/Swiss. A distant close relative (The Baron) was in Duke Frederick's court as a diplomat and apparently accrued several wives through the years.

Except The Baron had the wives at the same time. He left shortly thereafter at the behest of the fledgling American government to continue with his farm machinery inventions. It really is an amazing story.

 

Happy rainy Monday BA's - got a 2 mile walk in with Emma earier before the rains started....and, I took Sunday off and came back a Grand Pooh-Bah - wowza! Ain't I special - haha!



my daughter sent this adorable pic of their red healer - Bean - such a sweet boy!

Parish - South Coast Session Amber Ale

Starting with something light yet sufficiently flavorful. I love the color of this one.

 

Having with tex-mex lunch. This is well done!

 

How was it? I got it in the fridge!

 

Bump In The Night - The Brewing Projekt - Eau Claire, WI - American Imperial Stout - 9.25% ABV

I picked this up yesterday, and am glad I did. It is interesting, but one a day is plenty.

Poured from a can this beer pours pitch black. No light comes through when held up to a light. It almost looked like a nitro pour when I poured it. The head and the beer were mixing well. I had to stop pouring half way through the can to let the 4 finger brown head dissipate some before pouring the rest. There's decent retention, and great lacing on the glass. It took 3 tries to get the can into my glass.
The aroma of this beer is somewhat creamy smelling. I do get a faint hint of coffee in the aroma, as well as some chocolate.
I am going to have a hard time putting all I'm getting in the flavor into words. I do get coffee, and chocolate. I get a creamy flavor up front. I get a pie like flavor in this beer, like a banana cream pie like flavor, from the cream used. I think I get a cherry flavor in here that hits right away. This beer is sweet and it's close to the edge where I do not like to go with sweetness. I know there's more, but I just cant put it into words.
Thick creamy body. Full.
Very interesting and tasty beer. I think one in a day is enough though.

not bad at all! my second bottle and i liked it more than the first. mostly because i drank this one at a slightly cooler temp than last time (which for the most part i like my stouts at room temp and this one was slightly above)

 

Drinking Pizza Port Bacon & Eggs Imperial Coffee Porter, courtesy of @Nugganooch really good, lots of upfront coffee
