Other Half (2020)

Waiting for those Barrel Aged Stouts to drop. I'm assuming tomorrow before Thanksgiving?.OH stout pricing is a steal compared to BCBS...

 

Not when you factor in a lifetime of insulin

 

I saw barrels of Snowbirds 4 on the sidewalk yesterday when I picked up the most melony DDH DMD ever.

*shakes fist in air

 

Stout season is in full swing and we've got two fresh and two barrel aged Double Sunsets coming your way tomorrow, Wednesday, starting at noon. These will all be posted for sale online at 9am Wednesday morning. We’re very excited about the coffees we selected for this years batch! Order for Curbside Pickup using the link in bio. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
2020 Double Sunset Imperial Stout (13.0%) with Mudhouse Roasters Ethiopian Teshome Gemechu Coffee, Vanilla and Milk Sugar. We have worked with the fine folks at Mudhouse on our Double Sunset stouts the last few years and this year is no different bringing in this Ethiopian coffee they describe as having toasted almond, white peach and brown sugar. $16 per bottle. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
2020 Double Sunset Imperial Stout (13.0%) with Ceremony Coffee Roasters Mexican Siltepec Coffee, Vanilla and Milk Sugar. Ceremony is down near our DC location in the fair land of Baltimore and is a regular in our coffee drinking rotation. This Mexican Siltepec is sweet and clean. The folks at Ceremony describe it as walnut and date and it definitely has some chocolate notes. $16 per bottle. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
2019 Double Sunset Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout (13.0%) with Coava Coffee Roasters Guatemalan Nayo Ovalle Coffee, Vanilla and Milk Sugar. A favorite coffee around here with big rich chocolate notes. Coava describes it as orange, almond butter and milk chocolate. $22 per bottle. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
2019 Double Sunset Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout (13.0%) with Mighty Oak Coffee Roasters Ethiopian Sasaba Coffee, Vanilla and Milk Sugar. This one from our Queens neighbors is a new one to us but has some interesting flavors going on. Mighty Oak describes it as Lime, Cocoa and Hops. Hops! $22 per bottle.

 

Not sure about the BA ones, I picked up the last BA Double Sunsets and the soured.

 

Triple Space Cut - did I miss something announcing this? Space Diamonds crossed with some kind of "Cut-themed" strata series? Or is this just something from FLX/DMV they brought up.

It's impossible to keep track

 

Certainly feels that way - I rely on one BA forum over four Instagram accounts.

Website needs a secondary glamour shot of each can from aerial view to identify tab color.

 

This is macabre and beneath the intelligence of our resident PhD. An Other Half pastry stout at ambient temperature is already an exercise in pure masochism. At 160°F, it'd be a deathwish.

 

@algebeeric_topology is a walking contradiction. Math PhD that looks like Gregor Clegane. And on the beer side he's a unique combo of The Right Hon. Dr Suarez Puristboi PhD, CFA, CPA, FSA, CAIA, JD, PE, and Mostest Basic PastryMcDonaldsBoi FFS, WTF, OMFG.

 

Don’t forget LBM (legum baccalaureus of melon)

 

My first thought was "Why would you microwave a stout?" Then I realized that's just insane. Who would heat up a stout in a microwave?

Rob would heat it up in his all-clad sauce pan on his 36" Viking stove.

 

We may have gotten carried away this time, but how do you ever find the limit if you don't push the boundaries? Come give our little Mylar experiment a try, today starting at noon. Link to order Curbside Pickup in bio. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Also, just a reminder that we're open tomorrow from 10am - 6pm, so you can always swing by if you run out of beer or just need to get out of the house. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
DHDHC Mylar Bags Imperial IPA (8.8%) We just had to do it, at least once. We decided to double the HDHC treatment on Mylar Bags. We aggressively dialed back the base Mylar Bags bitterness, and added Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, El Dorado and Amarillo in aggressive volumes. It's like drinking a whole 6-pack of IPA from the early 2000's all at once. We had to push the limits just once to see what would happen! $24 per 4 pack. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Triple Citra Daydream Imperial Oat Cream IPA (10.5%) oats, a hint of lactose and tons of Citra combine to make Citra hop candy. If Thanksgiving doesn't make you happy this surely will. $22 per 4 pack.

 

Looking forward to hearing reviews on that DHDHC Mylar cuz it just sounds like a waste of hops to me.

 

Can confirm the melon in the DMD. Thought I was going with a safe pick here.... I guess nothing is sacred anymore

 

I'm in for a couple 4 packs of Mylar today. Think I will pass on Double Sunset since last year's BA ones were just...average.

 

Drinking DHDHC Mylar, very tasty, super "juicy" but yes, prominent melon notes. I'm down with it and maybe you should be too.
