New Year's Eve beers

Got a few fresh Pliny in a trade this week figure NYE is a good time to enjoy those!

 

Will start with some fresh Trillium and end with Side Project's Saison De Rogue. I've got a few SP bottles & have yet to crack one. Think I'll save Pulling Nails for my birthday in a few weeks. Happy New Year, Everyone!

 

Barrel aged Framinghammer, morph,g-bot,6,7 month old heady topper - can't wait to see how that is, hf, treehouse-lucid, tornado,imperial doughnut break,fireflys choconaut porter, maybe a few more. Having a bottle share with some friends

 

I'm having my guests go through my cellar and pick a couple bottles

 

I was in the store yesterday to buy cheap beer for the weekend and suddenly got the notion to also grab a single of Abt12 for tonight. One's enough, I don't get the itch often but scratch it when I do.

 

Real close but 2nd Fiddle won out. It was a 12/3/14 canning. Not sure how old the Heady actually was because I got it in a trade. It was really close, and I was pleased that the 2F lived up to the hype. And is completely different than Mastermind.

 

I really need to get back to VT and pick up some Second Fiddle, which I've never had. I bought a case + 2 four packs of Mastermind when I was in VT a few months ago. I was blown away at how good it was and, wanting to share the experience promptly gave away a case among various friends and kinda regretted it

 

I am doing Stouts tonight. Locally we have Framinghammer Coffee picked up from Jacks Abbey, CBC You Enjoy My Stout, and to ring in the New Year, Eclipse FiftyFifty Java Stout.. Am waking up tomorrow with PM Dawn from Trillium. HAPPY NEW YEARS N.E. BA's

 

I grabbed the Barbapapa for $9 today. I would have sworn it was $8 last time but I could be confusing it with something else. Either way, I'm not complaining over a buck for a 12% stout from Pretty Things. Should be nice in a few hours.

 

I love Mastermind, fortunate to get it a couple of times. First time having 2nd Fiddle and in my opinion it lives up to the hype. Very easy to drink and a little more floral or citrusy than Mastermind which I found to be slightly anise flavor. Still can taste the Fiddlehead flavor profile. So far I am really impressed with Fiddlehead.

 

Wherever you're buying Barbapapa is marking up the price more than other retail outlets. I've found it priced in the $7.50 - $8 price range for the late 2014 release. (For example, Whole Foods River Street had it priced at like $7.95.)

 

Matt, had fresh Headys (canned Monday) yesterday and then both 12/10 and 12/31 canning of 2F today. In the 2F camp all the way right now.
