    Have a good Friday. Slept all afternoon until 730PM because I got tired at 230PM. I have been listening to music all night, and I played Dota Underlords for 3 hours. One of my friends talked me through the strategies for 2 8 person bot matches over voice chat. A lot of fun. Me and @Blogjackets are going to winking lizard for lunch later on. We’ll see what's new to me on that tap list.

    R. Shea West Coast Citra IPA. First time having one of their beers, but it was one of many breweries that popped up while I was up in Michigan. Awesome IPA. Lasting fluffy head retention/thick foamy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, white bread dough, biscuit, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and body; very creamy/bready malts, balanced sticky hops, and some resins/rinds in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing resin dryness, no hop astringency. Very smooth, nicely soft, minimal warming 6% or lingering hop burn after the finish. Awesome Citra showcase. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice zized wheat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Very big fan! 4.13

    One of my friends introduced me to Frontierer last night, so I listened to all their albums; and they reminded me of Dillinger, so I have been listening to them all night too.

    More heat, sweeter and less pronounced hop flavor than the Hop Stalker, but 9.4% will make things happen.

    This recording is what my shift felt like.


    Off for a nap, beer run and more beer consumption. Cheers all and enjoy your Friday!

    Trying to get into my work emails remotely for the last time this weekend. I get to them, I get to them. I have another beer, that’s what’s important.

    Shame that it doesn't live up to its potential. I love a good Cognac. It seems that aging a Baltic Porter in Cognac barrel could be world class if it were done right.
