What beer are you drinking now? #3453

Good day BAS! Thanks @Shanex for starting today's thread. Today's New Breakfast Beer is sort of local - it's only a six-hour drive mostly on interstate highways:



A decent doppelbock which I'd drink again - rating 3.5, rDev -10.7%.

 

Equilibrium Super Fractal Mandelbrot Set

 

Drinking Stella Artois at an easily identified chain restaurant. Grabbed Stella cause @Shanex said he wanted one yesterday

 

We’ve been getting all their stuff in Houston of late and I love it

 

To Øl #DIPA.
Cheers!

 

Howdy all!

Back in the saddle here, and on feet again, after a 10K tempo run this morning.
Still fatigued from Saturday...but was able to move my dawgs so felt alright.

Usual NA UA suspect here; chocolate taste companion for my little banana-peanut butter toast snack. Pretty darn good...

Cheers!

 

Good evening Advocates,
always a pleasure to have some time to read something interesting.
Here I'm sending you something I have done no more than three times in my life, but I had these two things...
It's not an excuse, but I wanted to do it:
Mister B (ITA) - BEEGNÈ - Imperial Pastry Stout (10%)
Inspired by the typical dessert filled with custard (or chocolate or zabaglione) that is baked or fried.
33 cl can
"Best before: January 2023"
On the nose immediately notes of chocolate and lactic / creamy.
As soon as it is poured it is black with dark brown reflections.
Little foam, but more than I expected: creamy, sweet (almost sugary).
Full body in the mouth, extreme density.
Tasted before the cake the main notes are those of dark chocolate and hazelnut, all with a sweet lactic base, which reminded me more of whipped cream than custard.
Obviously, it gives the idea of being a mix of ingredients (and extracts) far from being defined beer, but all in all it did not come out as cloying or "artificial" as others (see some of Lervig, not necessarily Imperial Pastry Stout ... there are more lactose/vanilla extract jobs that actually turned out to be quite cloying. Unlike most of Mike's production).
Sweet finish, but not cloying. Alcohol content very masked in taste, no ethyl notes emerge.
I took two sips to accompany the Sacher cake, which with her sweetness (obviously) impacted the taste of the beer which seemed to me to have more notes of coffee and even licorice, always maintaining a sense of "whipped cream" in the background.







Sláinte !
Cheers !

 

A post PT beer at the pub - Equilibrium’s “Tie-Dye Science” IPA:



Skunky onion nose; tasty is skunky fruit; not too fluffy but I can’t drink the can. Cheers and have a great Monday y’all!

 

Lost Lager from Brewdog.
The Stella glass is a 'souvenir' from one of the ferry crossings from the UK Nice large glass. It has some engraving at the bottom that creates a swirl. Just like a Duvel glass.
Cheers!

 

Happy Monday BA's

A little Narwhal is not a bad thing.....



from our earlier hike.....Emma in her happy place.....me too!

 

Lunch beer with a little leftover snow. Nice out, already in the 50s.



Cheers and have a great day.

 

'Souvenir'? Sounds like a 5 finger discount...

 

G'afternoon BA's!

Day off from work to spend the day with Pops and the family. Went bowling, Pops couldn't since his knee is really bad...I shouldn't have bothered, didn't even break 90!
Back home resting and sipping on this hazy IPA from Free Will. Drowning my sorrows...





Cheers!

 

This is motivating for a Monday!

Cheers Beer friends!

Cigar City Brewing “Jai Alai.” Haven’t had this in a long time and our Trader Joe’s just started to carry them!
