    Sorry buddy go Jimmy G. The sports writers wanting to put Roger’s in the same league as Brady makes me laugh every time even if his arm is maybe the best since Mariano, the stats don’t match up.

    Boulevard Rye on Rye 6. Amazing as usual. Aromas and flavors of huge raisin, plum, prune, fig, cherry, date, peach, pear, apricot, orange zest, red apple, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, spicy rye whiskey, toasted oak, coconut, and brown bread/crust; with light notes of licorice, molasses, smoke, oak char, leather, tobacco, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Minimal booze in the aromas as it warms. Mild herbal, grassy bitterness; and bourbon, rye, oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Light-medium carbonation and fairly full body; very creamy, silky, bready malts; light slickness, sticky hops, and oak tannins in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing lingering bitter/tannin dryness; no cloying sweetness. Dangerously smooth sipping, mild increasing warmth of 12.9%, minimal lingering barrel booze. Loved it just as much as the base beer. Perfectly balanced between rich malts, fruity yeast, and rye barrel presence/integration. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering bitter/tannic dryness. Very similar to an English barleywine as with the base beer.

    Good Morning, BAs. Nothing says Saturday Morning Breakfast to me like a big old glass of Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen.

    Planning to hit the Gun Hill Barrel Aged Beer Festival at the Gun Hill Brewery in the Bronx today. In light of that, this seemed appropriate:



    Weather isn't supposed to be too great, but, hey, that's what galoshes are for. Hope to see some of y'all there. Sláinte!

    No QB past or present is in the same league as Brady when it comes down to rings. Results are what counts IMO.

    I’m coaching most of the day, but I’m definitely ready for some recording and drinking when I’m done!

    I see you corrected the post. Did not want to call you out on grammar.

    As I will probably do multiple times tonight, I blame the beer. You know my grammar game is flawless! :grin:

    I nearly cracked open my Bourbon Paradise, @Justonemore91, but went vanilla instead.

    Bell's Double Two Hearted. Fantastic as usual. Aromas and flavors of huge ruby red grapefruit, mandarin orange juice, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, honeydew melon, citrus peel/zest, peppercorn, and pine hops; with balanced honey, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, light caramel/nutty malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Mild booze in the aromas as it warms. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; very creamy/bready/grainy malts and some sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing bitter/spicy alcohol dryness, no cloying/astringent. Very smooth/soft, mild increasing warmth of 11% after the finish. Amazing Centennial showcase as expected. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized balancing malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. More candied-like citrus and a bigger malt backbone; but just as balanced from the 2.5X extra hops. Did not prefer it over the base beer, but will buy the regular more often than I have been.

    Probably no one athlete but the past is now just that. It's going to be hilarious to watch the Patriots lose to the Dolphins and the Jets for the next decade.

    The question is does Belichik eventually leave of his own accord or finally get caught in some cheating scandal and get chased by the organization or the league?

    Just in time after taking out the recycling. OB Can-o-Bliss. Now let's stop talking about day-drinking and actually DO IT. Cheers! And some music for those of you in the tundra this morning...

    Two more seasons for Bill. He will try to prove he can win on his own and struggle next year. After that the next year the rest of the conference will have rebuilt and I don't see him hanging around to take all those L's.
