What beer are you drinking now? #4489

S'mores Borg: Bourbon Barrel Blend, from Twin Elephant Brewing Co. It's a tasty treat but I liked it A LOT more on draught than from the can. Cheers!

 

Hop Butcher Choice Stock IPA (Strata/Nectarine). Strawberry, tangerine, orange peel, floral, passionfruit, some mango, grass, and pine. Solid hazy.

 

Right along here ba. Coconut PM Dawn, stout w/ cold brewed coffee & coconut, trillium-
Very coconut forward with lots of sweet chocolate malt and subtle bitter coffee grounds on the finish. Definite mounds candy aspect here. An inky feel with a dry full body that helps to balance out the sweetness. Smooth and well done but the coconut is the star and really drowns out the coffee for me.

 

Out front on a 78 degree afternoon, WW Pernicious.

 

Only true Chicagoans know Pequod's. That cartelized deep dish crust is like no other.

 

Three Floyds - Return Of The Ancients

 

Waiting for that signifier of Spring, NASCAR, to get started in an hour or so, and cracked a Batch 95 Fred from HotD.

 

The last of my current stash of Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout. One of the best in the style IMO.

And oh, what is this, ALL of the Miles Davis and Gill Evans albums. Of course that means Sketches of Spain, but also Miles Ahead, and Porgy and Bess. As much as I love almost all of Miles' catalog, this might be my favorite period.

The Miles Ahead album, is the original 57 Mono pressing with the famous "Why'd you put that white bitch on there" cover . Miles hated the album cover, said that, and made Columbia change it, so this one is pretty rare ha. Its also one of the best big band albums ever.

 

Hope you're having a great Birthday, Doc!!

 

This one has grown on me, coffee, vanilla, and a silky mouthfeel.

 

I hope the Rx works quickly, Larry. We want to see you feeling better!

 

Someone dropped a six pack of this off on my doorstep. Love it.

 

My jealousy can be stifled now, Double Sunshine showed up in town!

 

Thanks bud - much appreciated!!

 

Actually got up into the lower 60s today! Enjoyed a couple beers outside at iTap with my oldest daughter, son-in-law, and grandpuppy, Penny!



Snapper IPA ~ Logboat


Penny Lane ~ The Beatles

 

Thanks you sir!

 

Thanks - I really appreciate it!!

 

Thanks Mike!!! I'm glad I decided to go have it looked at this morning, once you know what that cough is like, there's no mistaking it if you get it again. Cheers!
