    Have a good Sunday. I have been playing puzzle games, chess; and have been poking around on Tinder this morning. My account went dormant because I got bored with it, but I am interested again.

    Got a December 2017 bottle out of the closet. This one is kicking ass as usual, reminds me more of a well aged Bigfoot right now. More rich molasses and brown sugar melanoidin notes; with a duller citrus, stone fruit, and pine. Resinous, sticky, and drying finish ends mildly sweet and long after on the finish for a while with lingering resins and rinds. The pine attacks a lot more than fresh. SO glad that they are releasing it in December again this year. It usually takes a hiatus for 2-3 years. I got 6 bottles in 2017, but I might just grab a case this time.

    Definitely AOTY right now.

    Good day BAs! Thanks, @superspak, for starting today's thread. I'm with you on the case of Gnarlywine purchase - sounds like a plan! Today's New Breakfast Beer, and the first one in a long while:

    My son recommended it and passed along a can - OK, IMHO, but not great. 3.77, rDev -5.5%.

    Brooklyn’s East IPA. Good beer, for an old school IPA. Best of luck with the Tinder search, Spak.

    Phase Three Vivid Light, a new offering released July 31, 2020. Great beer to start the day.

    This is the second excellent WCIPA offering from this suburban brewer, closer to the WCIPA style than Terrazzo which is more of a Midwest IPA pour. Will continue to buy both. Full review here.

    Sad the daylight is close to an hour later than solstice at this point, will only get worse from here. That said, it is a perfect Summer morning, 65 degrees. Beautiful to the eye and on the skin. Made it through Blues Before Sunrise and the jazz show which follows. Perfect song for @vabeerguy in the second hour.



    Buddy stay off of that wine
    Although it makes you feel mighty fine
    You can drink gin and beer, that's good
    You can drink liquor aged in wood
    But buddy stay off of that wine

    [​IMG] Poured into a 20 oz giant tulip glass bottled 3/13/2020. Pours midnight black in the dead of a cloudy Winters evening, with a massive 2 plus finger mocha head that leaves a few thin streaks of lace, as it slowly settles into a thin layer of mocha bubbles. 4.75.

    Smell is deep dark fudge, vanilla beans, roasty coffee grounds, cinnamon, and some oaked bourbon. 4.75

    Taste follows dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee, cinnamon, and a little bourbon lingers sip after glorious sip. 4.75

    Mouthfeel is BIG, a tad dry, gentle carbonation, and at 10.2% it drinks bigger, but extremely approachable and complex. 4.75

    Overall this is one I have always wanted to sip and thanks @Ocalafox for sharing this one. Vann a very impressive brew and feel like I’m not worthy. Lives up to the hype for sure. 4.75 Cheers all.
