    The Wolf, a Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout from 3 Sheeps. This 2023 variant with Pecans, Coconut, and Vanilla. Delicious as is the usual with this beer. Cheers, BAs!

    I can't remember the last time i had a stout cuz the last few days i been smashing Reds and Browns.

    I usually cut consumption down around this time to prep for the onslaught of Tamales and Pan Con Pollo that get sent to me from everyone .

    hey @Braunmeister_1943 sick of me tagging you twice a day every day?!? shouldn’t have sent me so many good beers.

    this is deliver us to evil from burial. 15% imperial stout with coco nibs, cinnamon, aged ancho and guajillo peppers and togarashi spices (whatever the fuck that is).

    this is insanely good. rich milk chocolate with cinnamon and the peppers are super subtle but also perfectly there on the finish. drank quite a bit colder than i typically drink my stouts but even as it warmed the peppers were always balanced and kept in check. damn good stuff. cheers!

    Bell's Black Note Stout 2023.
    A fine sipper for sure but I think I prefer BA Expedition to this. That should not be taken as a complaint!

    Spent a few hours the last couple of days reorganizing the beer inventory and got the oldest of the inventory in FIFO order in the beer fridge which leads to one of my older cans being sampled, Brooklyn Four Roses Black Ops. I found it to be pretty disjointed and not well blended. Rated 3.57.
    Cheers!

    Walkin over to HpB tp do an IP trade ( no stuff for me I'm sendingthem to a hypebeast) enjoying this beer sent to me by Dan Sweetums. @DIM
    Crazy how much barrel presence shines here at 11.7%
    No sweetness here from Sweetums.
    Smash city right here. Perfect mouthfeel, perfect balance of heat and malt and very sessionable ABV
    South County- Virgil BBA Stout

    Yeah I thought that'd suit your strange, burnt steak loving taste buds. I'm a fan of this one, glad you are too. South County are good dudes, even though they make too many ipas. Rainy and 40° here, enjoy your walk.
