Ups, wrong thread again

Work out done, Kettlehead for lunch, and starting with a glass of grade A Maine DDH Hopjuice 7.4%. Cheers all.

 

I will accept a 9/30 canning date on this one

Sir! The most beautiful pic of all...well done.

 

Switching styles so as to prevent palate fatigue:

 

Happy Thursday ba. Can’t get to crazy till later but I’ve got enough time for a couple. Half & Half, imperial milk stout w/coffee, barrier/other half collabo. The first batch they released of this was insanely good. Not on that level anymore but still decent,

 

Great job, sir. My early morning load was getting too heavy even for my own broad shoulders.

Wiseacre Brewing Oktoberfest





Taste is rich malt lightly spiced with hops. An almost buttery malt (Munich, Vienna, Pilsner and Melanoidin) with the depth of the malt varieties used. The brewer lists only Bravo hops for an IBU rating of 24. I don't know if there are any other hop varieties in there but this one 'tis enough and 'twill serve. I get floral/spicy along with just enough bittering that kicks in mid palate and lasts into the aftertaste, which leaves with an impression of clean freshness. An interesting juxtaposition between malt richness and hop bitterness offsetting each other in a way that is complementary yet both distinctly separate and running smoothly on parallel tracks. I don't know if this is what the brewer intended but it works.
