    Good morning BA's or evening to the LNBA's.

    Kicking it off with a Big Beer Box beer.

    Casita Brewing Querido y Perdido

    Aroma is surprisingly mild. Chocolate and chilies are the mainstay of the taste. Some dark chocolate bitterness in the finish.

    Sierra Nevada Narwhal Imperial Stout

    Crazy that Sierra Nevada puts out Celebration, Narwhal, and Bigfoot all within months of each other. Trifecta of perfecta.

    [​IMG] Any beer following the first would have its hands full, so I said why not this classic.

    Good day BAs! Thanks @chrisiswhothisis for opening the bar today! Today's New Breakfast Beer is the last of the Prairie Artisan brews I picked up at Spec's (DeZavala) earlier in the week:

    [​IMG]

    Final impression and summation: 3.25 Almost average brew at a premium price. At least there is no flotsam to strain through my teeth. Thin-bodied for an Imperial stout, but at least this has some spiciness and hints of the barrel aging.

    Rating 3.28, rDev -26.8%

    Thanks for opening the bar @chrisiswhothisis , love your two selections to end your day.

    Your Guinness West Indies selection @Shanex would be the type of beer I'd make a trip to Guinness Chicago to enjoy, but all we get here beyond the "craft" they brew onsite is the keg Draught and the two bottles widely distributed (Extra Stout and Foreign Extra Stout). A missed opportunity IMO, and why I don't go there often.

    The first of two final Micah @GreenBayBA bottles I have from Sheboygan.

    Central Waters Cherry Kringle Stout

    4.33/5 rDev -1.4%
    look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

    Full review linked above, New Beer Sunday #1029 treatment linked here. This is a cherry pastry dessert with light bourbon notes and very enjoyable for this morning. Thank you Micah!

    And the GREAT American Southwest, I bid you good morning, or good night, wherever you may be, this is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell....

    G'day all!

    No rain or snow predicted for today, temps in the 40s, yet I chose this 12.3%abv BA Imperial Stout from Fifty Fifty. I may not be a fan of Frey Bourbon but this is a good drop.

    Prost!

    Edit: BTW, I loved the wax....

    I’m playing chauffeur for the kids later today, so just one for now.

    I’ll play something from my two favorite albums of the year so far later. For now, a semi-classic from the last couple decades.

    Good choice as well and whatever the reason I’m sure some other advocate once told me it’s hard to find West Indies Porter regardless of the State you live in. Cheers!
