What beer are you drinking now? #3536

Next new beer is De Struise Sjovoev. Black Damnation 30. A Blegian Royal Stout from Flanders aged for 1 year in bourbon barrels from Versailles, Kentucky. Comes in at 13% ABV. Fantastic stuff.

 

Hair of The Dog Brewery -- Otto From the Wood
Strong ale
ABV: 13.0%; pouring temperature: 39.9 ℉; bottling data: 2016



4.3/5 rDev +1.7%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

Another strong ale winner from Hair of The Dog. It has the standard weak head expected from their bottle conditioning while the aroma and taste are just heavenly for a high ABV beer. The few bits of pulpy sediment were interesting (no, I didn't pour the bottle gently to leave the sediment in the bottom). It really did taste and look a bit like fruit pulp. One for the history books...

 

Good afternoon, advocates. I've been doing chores since 9am. I'm finally finished! Walked the dog, now settling in w/ some Yankees baseball and a Stone IPA. I feel good. Cheers!

One of the best hip-hop videos ever made.

 

We did a brunch! Now we're relaxing and splitting an imperial stout.







Cheers!

 

Avery Brewing Co. -- Pear of Peaches
Imperial hazy India pale ale with pears and peaches

3.6/5 rDev -8.2%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5

Eh, a so-so hazy India pale ale.

 

Another new beer, and likely my last for the night. The Oracle, a Belgian barleywine. Fermented with Trappist yeast and coming in at 10.7% ABV. Brewed by White Pony Microbrewery in Belgium. On BA, this is called a quad. Not sure why this is the case since it's literally labeled as a barleywine on the bottle. Might need to change that! Fantastic beer!
