    GOOD MORNING, BA's!

    Wow! This stuff is smooth! A lot going on here, with a very rich mouthfeel.

    Good morning BAs! Starting the day off with this Stygian New Breakfast Beer:



    A decent entry from Narragansett - one may end up in a NBS box if my target hasn't already had one from RI.

    A chill morning here after a busy weekend and another one coming with a trip to Grand Rapids for the KBS release. I still look forward to it every year and I was fortunate to score a ticket once again. Let's have a great week!

    Couple days of this stuff and then back into the 50s.

    This is really nice. When I opened the bottle my nose was filled with bacon and pancakes covered in maple syrup. Nice coffee in the taste with subtle bacon/smoke and maple flavors. Now I just need some eggs, bacon and pancakes to pair this with. Cheers!

    Nummy Nug Nug Other Half IIPA collab with Industrial Arts... Features Nugget, Ahtanum, Vic Secret, and Mosaic hops... 2/17 canning...

    Good God, BA, this beer is unearthly... get your hands on one of these and tell me I'm crazy if I'm wrong. Whatta great beer. Other Half is pretty damn reliable, and I tend to hedge my bets somewhat with them, but this is truly stellar...
    [​IMG]
    They've gotta up their production and distribution because you deserve it, BA... :sunglasses:

    Aromas of tropical, orchard, and citrusy fruits, maybe something floral and grain-like in the mix... Powerful taste-punch on the palate - again, bursting with fruits but also ringing with pine impressions throughout... Sweetness is moderate, ameliorated by that dank pine bitterness, keeping it tight and lean. Said bitterness is moderate, too - no single element is too over-the-top - aside from the fact that it is appropriately hop-forward, of course... :wink: Smooth and lush with plenty of carbonation in a medium-weight body... Some pine resin bitterness lingers behind, giving a little shellac on the tongue, calling for another sip...
    [​IMG]
    Don't let the pic fool you, I'm already onto my last couple of sips, and that sucks... :slight_frown:

    S'alright, though, BA... I'm coming back with another beer in short order...

    Having a Cuvee des Trolls. I found it in a shop in Belgium this weekend. Nice.

    First beer after three days of hiking with a backpack and some company. In beer-topographics roughly the area between Rochefort and Orval. The area probably is a nice 'beer-cation' destination.
    Cheers!

    Notre-Dame de Clairefontaine Abbey (not a beer abbey).

    [​IMG]
    ... there was Trappist beer on a sale in the abbey shop however ...

    But this lovely Orval cheese (bit heavy addition to my backpack) was a great compensation. Still have some left to enjoy with an Orval beer later tonight.

    He's done lotsa shit, but these are still among my faves...



    Keep the ones you love close, BA - nothing lasts forever...

    Cheers... :wink:

    Got off my lazy ass long enough to open another beer and get some burgers going on the grill. Drinking makes me hungry!

    Averbode, an abbey beer I picked up last weekend in Belgium. Humble, but amazing in quality and taste.
    Below two snapshots from on of the two occasions I had for buying some beers.
    Cheers!

    What's up BA? Proclamation Derivative: Citra up first on my afternoon off. Pretty tasty, very crisp and easy drinking but a little thin.

    Really great bourbon barrel aged scotch ale. This is a fierce contender against Backwoods Bastard. I think I might like this more, even being the Founders fanboy I am. Looking forward to more beers from Central Waters in the future. Cheers!

    Thanks @superspak for this S'more Stout. It's far from cold, as it's a beautiful day, but S'mores are good any day.
