    This gets overlooked. Very food brew though.[​IMG]

    See, there you go again. Straight into being a jerk. You know I have feelings, right?

    Well, at least one or two.

    Unfortunately my last of these. Still tasting great. Dare I use the word crushable? Other Half seems to know what they're doing.

    Delicious fruit stout. Flavors of big juicy blueberries, caramel, maple syrup, toffee, chocolate, cocoa, toast, dark bread, and light smokey maltiness; with a touch of herbal hops. Bittersweet balanced roasted finish with slight fruit tartness. Medium bodied and very creamy/silky, with slight chalky roast character in the mouthfeel. Touch of roasted dryness. Not super complex, but this nails the idea down to a T. This tastes like blueberry pancakes with balanced chocolaty stout notes mixed in. Vaguely similar to Dark Horse Tres, but less roasty on the malt character. Glad this is year round now. A rotational favorite.

    Great English brown ale! Glad they kept it as the fall seasonal. Wasn't a fan of either of the pumpkin beers they released before. Flavors of big nutty medium roast coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, toasted brown bread, and light chocolate/cocoa/vanilla; with a touch of herbal hops. Light herbal/roasted coffee bitterness; creamy medium-full bodied mouthfeel. Touch of increasing dryness. Very smooth and drinkable. Well rounded and balanced coffee/malt complexity. Will keep grabbing the singles, as I already have a couple more.

    Excellent IPA. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, and pine hops; with moderate cracker, biscuity malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus rind, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; balanced bready/grainy malt and sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Moderately increasing resin/rind bitter dryness. Touch of lingering hop astringency, not overwhelming. Very easy drinking. Really impressive mix of dank and vibrant hop complexity. Very tropical and earthy/piney at the same time. Nice pale malt backbone, no residual sweetness. Delicious as expected. Great mix of hops. Mosaic, Citra, Crystal, Azacca, Cascade, and Amarillo. Love the hop bill. Hope it shows up in 6 packs eventually. This was in the mix 12 pack. I love all of the Heroes anyways, so no big deal if it doesn't.

    Incredible DIPA as always, glad these are year round cans now. Flavors of huge grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, apricot, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, and pine hops; with moderate honey, bready, light caramel malt sweetness; and floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind bitterness on the finish. Medium-full bodied; with a creamy/sticky, and lightly slick/resinous balanced mouthfeel. Lightly increasing resin/rind dryness, zero hop astringency. Super juicy, bright, and fruity on hops; malty yet never overly sweet. Mildly warming 10%. This is staying a staple fridge DIPA for sure, as long as the freshness stays consistent. Centennial, Simcoe, Columbus, and Chinook hops. One of my favorite hop profiles for any IPA/DIPA.

    Like, you "feel" thirsty, or "feel" like another beer?

    Cream of Broccoli, I'm upset because it doesn't taste like the name says it does.

    Just kidding, this is delicious

    My last Oktoberfest in the fridge. Enjoying it with some hard pretzels. Hopefully it won't be the last of the season.

    Exactly. Or like I "feel" like crying in a corner, listening to depressing Joy Division songs while desperately hoping for @PatrickCT 's acceptance.

    What a week. First the senseless tragedy of what happened in the city I live, now Tom. Had to have a couple beers and with that a sincere toast to all those people who got caught up in that and those who came to their rescue...and Mr. Petty.

    Perfect balance of bourbon barrels, Hershey's chocolate fudge and peanut. Not a giant peanut butter bomb, but I don't want it to be that way.

    Sometimes in life you need to take things tongue in cheek and not so seriously my friend. Agree with all youve said but the "boob theory" is just what it says: a theory. There hasnt been a study long enough to substantiate the facts on this.

    I have never once made a tongue-in-cheek comment. I choose my words very carefully and am always 100% serious. Always. Have a good night sir.
