    Good Morning and Happy New Years!

    Starting the day with one of a few nice beers planned for today. The first is an excellent Imperial Stout from the cellar, brewed by one of my favorite Chicago Breweries.

    Spiteful Brewing Hostile Harry Black & Blue

    [​IMG]

    This is a variant of their Hostile Harry stout, canned December 14, 2018. Wonderful after the first few sips, letting it warm further to let this beer fully shine.

    Cheers one and all!

    If you can post in the last thread of one year and the first thread of the next year without going to bed.... then you enjoy drinking. 2020 and 2021 beers together.

    I’ll probably play some more from 2020 today, but this was my favorite of last year plus the first song I always have to listen to on this day.

    Have a good new years. I worked all night and I had my usual Columbian Roast coffee with french vanilla cream. and vape. I need new coils and glass for the tank I shattered last month. And then I had ham and cheese with Pickle Doritos. Super legit flavor! Will buy again.

    Happy New Year. Some hair of the dog inspired beers. Didn’t get drunk last night. So today i have to make a Tres Leche I’ll get on that.

    Evil Genius Brewing Company
    Brunch So Hard
    NEIPA. 6.5% ABV. 52 IBU
    Fishtown, Philadelphia, PA

    Collab with Miller High Life. Couldn’t find anywhere if certain ingredients were done so maybe just a friendly brew time / marketing thing.

    Citra, Mosaic, Azacca, Hallertau Blanc hop bill.

    Murky pale orange. You can see the streaks of murk as you pour the remaining can in. Smells of orange, mango, pine. Tastes sweet orange. Orange zest and rind. Subtle mango but especially towards the gravy like finish. Medium thick. Almost smoothie qualities. Good carbonation cuts most of this. Amazing bang for bunch NEIPA for $8.50 a four pack. Not selling at all at work and can’t imagine why because these are very solid.



    for the rap fans

    [​IMG] This is a tasty little number from Flying Dog. Nice looking brew, with a damn fine body, and all the other things I hope for in a stout.

    Happy New Year everyone! Hopefully not the same as the old year. Another delicious breakfast courtesy of my lovely boyfriend. The Willetized is courtesy of me. He’s not much of a drinker. You’ll notice I’ve just about worn out my Mr. Rogers cup this year. Bonus picture of the supplier of my baked goods.

    Stayed up past midnight with Mrs. Z, with no drinking all evening...still, slept in late this warm morning. Usual dog/kitchen chores done...coffee time! My first beer this New Year is Last Snow, a coconut and coffee porter:

    [​IMG]

    Canned 9/23/20. Poured at 56°. “Made with natural flavors.”

    Ruby/dark brown pour with clarity under rocky dark tan head; some cap retention leaves a middling sized island of micro dots and a thin ring; no lace, no legs. Strong roast coffee nose with a whiff of coconut behind. Roast!, espresso, burnt brown sugar; coconut on backend. Light body, moderate minus carbonation; bitter roast bite on tip of tongue. Overall, this is a C+ coffee porter; it feels thin, and the taste is good and roasty until I get to the off artificial flavor/linger; whenever I see “made with natural flavors” on the label, I am wary...

    4.25 | 4.0 | 3.75 | 3.5 | 3.75
    Score: 3.82 rDev -14.9%

    This beer was much better, imo, years ago before the buyout...anyhoo, have a great New Year’s Day and Cheers!

    Good 2021 to y'all.
    Still processing the loss of MF DOOM since Wednesday morning (when I learned of it, a friend of a friend who knew about it). Thought I saw this in the back of the fridge last night, a pleasant surprise to see a last straggler from earlier this fall. TRVE DUMWICH Porter. Cheers... let's keep the flow going today.
