What beer are you drinking now? #4916

Thanks for the open @mactrail ! Was just about to post myself after completing my review, with a healthy portion still in my glass.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday, including those who celebrate Western Easter.

Back with my final 2025 BCBS variant. This one is very boozy, at its peak enjoyment when the base also shined about 15-20 minutes after opening. Full New Beer Sunday #1102 take linked here, full review linked below.

Goose Island Beer Company Bourbon County Brand Double Barrel Stout (2025)(Bottled August 22, 2025 @ 5:13 PM)

Roosevelt Sykes, “The Honeydripper”, featured in the 2 AM hour of Blues Before Sunrise. You might know this song better performed by Brother Ray Charles.

 

Great song! And Nathan won't let it go to his head, if you delay teaching him English or Hanglish. That said, I'm sure he is even more bombarded with similar praise en Francais.

I'm limited to one self imposed at home beer a day most days, but in addition, I'd leap at the chance at a Seattle Porter, even with your cinnamon warning. I pull a lot of BA beers, but that is primarily to clear my backlog over the years. Porters are much lighter and many times on par or better than a beer 2 - 4 times stronger.

 

Happy Easter BA!

We've just finished an 8 mile walk into Corfe. Took. A pic from up on the ridge

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

Today's New Breakfast Beer:



Gratitude (Rye Barrel Aged) from East End Brewing. Four pack of 12 fl oz cans, purchased 02/04/26 from Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA. $ 24.50/$ 0.510/fl oz. On room temperature shelf at distributor, stored at 40 degrees F at home. Reviewed 05/04/26, review 3719.
Final impression and summation: 4 (After deducting 0.25 point for an undated container) Uncredited label art. Possibly the best brew I’ve ever had from East End – head and shoulders above their basic barleywine Gratitude. This actually has great flavor and aroma as opposed to their basic barleywine. However, it does lack the excellent lacing of the base beer.
Rating 4.1, rDev -1.7%

 

The weather is amazing today. I don't think I could take a bad pic.

 

Enjoying this lovely red ale this morning

Enjoy your Easter Sunday all

 

Hey, I might be able to help a bit, especially since you can still get into BIOS. That usually means the system itself is still responding.

A couple quick things you can check:

Do you see your main drive listed in BIOS
If you change boot order, does anything different happen
When you try to boot, does it freeze, loop, or show any kind of error
Did anything change right before this happened, like an update or new hardware

Those should help narrow down whether it is a boot issue or something deeper.

Unfortunately I am a bit limited on time today so I may not be able to go much further right now, but if you update with what you find I can try to see how else we can troubleshoot.

Also that meal sounds awesome. Bolognese, marinara, pomodoro, that is a strong lineup. Using a parm rind in the sauce is such a great move for depth too. Leftovers with fresh grated parm might honestly end up even better.

 

Just wanted to take a quick moment to wish everyone a Happy Easter.

Whether you are celebrating spiritually, religiously, or simply spending time with family, I hope the day brings you some peace and good company.

Raise a glass of ale or pour yourself something nice and enjoy the rest of the day.

Buona Pasqua!
