Late Night BeerAdvocate - Thu, 7/26

Started with a Little Sumpin', Sumpin' Ale, now enjoying a fresh Saint Arnold's Endeavour. Cheers!

 

Did a little cellar cleaning before dinner. Found (and drank) this...

Now I'm relaxing with some Troeg's Hopback Amber and catching up with my fellow BAs to see what all of you are enjoying tonight. Cheers!

 

Yeah! Easily one of those great timeless albums and easily my favorite Modest Mouse album. Perfect song writing, and those jams man, doesn't get any better! Cheers dude

 

good evening BA's! just had a pretty wicked storm push through my neighborhood. all is well though and onto the brew. again no hops/refreshers in the fridge tonight so sticking with another stout, first for me but enjoying it none the less:


while watching a personal favorite movie/story of mine:

 

Good taster, has a nice bourbon and vanilla taste up front with some chocolate and honey sweetness. Like I said in my review, carbonation would have, imho, enhanced the flavours and I reckon I would have liked it more than I did.

 

Union Jack, Zoe Ale, and a 2012 Bigfoot.

 

Cellar Rats P.O.C. Pride Of Cleveland Pilsner earlier.. SN Torpedo (can) right now.. cheers..

 

Feels like a Great Lakes night... Started with a Lake Erie Monster. Just finished a Dortmunder Gold. Cheers...

 

Couple of Torpedos from the can that I picked up from my regular bottle shop. Got home and realized these suckers were 5 months old. Huh?!?

Guess what...still pretty gosh darn good. Not great, but better than 80% of the beers I've drank.

Cheers.

 

Out of being judged even on BA lets call this #1

 

Not disappointed that I ignored the "Do not cellar" exclamation.

Cheers!

 

Yeah, I noticed that it holds up pretty damn well.

I'm sipping on an Avery IPA right now, bottled in December. It also held up well; hops have faded but they
are still there and the Malt, more of a grainy Malt now, gives it an interesting kick. A lot of American style IPAs at 7 months old wouldn't hold up this well.

 

Is that the white wine barrel one?

 

My week of hops continues with an amazing beer from Indy:



(Note: the 32oz growler is only for brewery reference, gonna try to make it through 64oz of this golden beauty this evening)

 

Started the night off with Full Sail's Chris's Summer Delight, which was delightful. I made some home made strawberry syrup to go with it and the tablespoon of syrup really woke it up. I liked it much better with that touch of sweetness.



Followed that up with a Founders Porter. Can't go wrong with anything from them!

 

Well, didn't see this thread, so i started my own. Just got deleted... Would have been nice to just merge it or something. I took some time to write up something I thought was important. Glad my phone has a deep cache. Posted below.

So, didn't see this up... Figured I would toss it out.
Drinking a boxers revenge... Whiskey comes out on this one, didn't in the first batch. A bit more tart, the carbonation is tiny, and it is more astringent. This is way more complex than the first batch as well. This needs more time in the bottle imo. Good, but more time, it will be great, give the flavors more time to meld together.

 

Got this in a box from kbuzz today... I am glad I got 3, it is fantastic!!! Following it up with a ST Choklat. I guess I have a sweet tooth tonight!!!

 

I'm not normally much of a beer drinker but this stuff is pretty darn good!


Cheers guys!

 

Sipped on a DEvils Backbone "Belgian Congo" pale ale. Meh.
I need some Hops. Watching:
