    Late night here with my favorite Chicago brewery's porter. Set the alarm for 11 so I can get groceries and lunch before the next snowfall.

    Spiteful God Damn Pigeon Porter

    Hello BAs! Top of the week to ya. I'm enjoying this refreshing glass of Indeed Apple Crisp Ale. I dunno what the ratio is but they nailed a great little cider/beer blend. What beer are you drinking now? Cheers!

    Here's the Black Marble Stout from Sullivan's Brewing

    Moderately sweet and in no way would I call this a "Dry Stout," Irish or not. There is the usual roasted grain with the charred and bitter finish, however. It's just enlivened by the malty flavors and the quite moderate bitterness. The creamy carbonation is also quite appealing. I am going to see if I can find a can of Guiness someplace for a side-by-side tasting. The last time I had Guiness it was so surprisingly awful, and Sullivan's seems like a different style of brew. From the 500 ml can with an efficient gizmo to amp up the carbonation.

    Sometimes like rereading a book or watching a movie again, one just has to crack open another beer in which they had precisely in the night. And with that, what do we have here? Yep, still too syrupy on mouth feel. I definitely won’t be buying another 4 pack. Bummer how much BCBS has fallen:

    For the life of me I just can't recall what the 1st nitro beer I had was. It was ages ago. Sullivan's is tasty. The drop Irish Maltings Ale is remarkable IMO. Do you prefer nitro stouts over standard? I like non-nitro Guinness but do like creamy nitro Ales.:beers:

    Good day BAs! Thanks @ChicagoJ for opening the bar!

    Off to another gloomy fall day here in NW PA - the highlight will be our son's wedding this afternoon. This beer is no highlight.

    Information Overdose (Ghost 1715) from Adroit Theory Brewing. Four-pack of 16 fl oz cans, ordered 04/10/25 from Adroit Theory on-line, received 08/11/25, $25.31 (including shipping)/$ 0.395/fl oz. Reviewed 01/12/25, review 3645.
    Final impression and summation: 3.25 Uncredited art work. Basically, tastes like many of their Russian Imperial Stouts, sans the heavier palate, higher ABV, and more complex alcohols.

    Getting after it early on the last of my 11-days off before returning to work, & temporary beerlessness. Jasper just wants me to go away.

    Too cold for golf today. We need to make later tee times.
