    Hey all, happy Thursday.

    New beer in my pint this mid-morning: Samichlaus Classic. An extra strong beer and self titled the most extraordinary beer in the world, whatever that means.

    It’s indeed 14%, in a standard 330ml bottle size. Pretty vintage label. No head, it’s only brewed each year on 6th of December and aged for 10 months.

    From Austria, overall this is quite good, not a boozy mess as I was maybe fearing before buying it.

    Great one and nicely appropriate in Winter.

    Prost!

    Wow - I had a totally different experience with that beer than you did, my review:

    I couldn't drink this beer, cloyingly sweet, brown sugar way too pronounced. Really just a major malt bomb, I couldn't find anything that would have made me want to drink more of this. I made it about half way through the bottle and that was it.

    If you like the style I'm sure it's a fine beer, just not my thing.

    That's one beer I personally will never purchase or try again. Cheers!

    14% ABV! That is right at the legal maximum for beer in my state (Georgia). Wow!

    Most Goose Island’s BCBS and variants cannot be legally found then?

    That's a GREAT Doppelbock! Shows up on shelves around me from time to time. An unfortunately spotty supply.

    Nope. Can't bring those into the state - legally.
    Bootlegging is still a thing in the Southeast US. :slight_smile:

    Literally everything you disliked in this beer is on the other hand why I enjoyed it immensely. To each their own as usual. Cheers!

    Hoping it's a slow workday and I can make an early exit. Later...

    Genuine advice. Tell your boss you’re feeling a bit off and tired, and gently request him to leave earlier so that you can have a few with us on Page 1 of the thread.

    Might or might not work, looking forward to see you later. As they say in German as we’re into Doppelbocks today: «Arbeit kann nicht warten.»

    Prost !

    Good Day BAs! Thanks to @Shanex for kicking off today’s thread; having a bit of a beer sweet-tooth, I like his opener. Getting my morning coffee - KBS MMF:

    [​IMG]

    Bottled 8/8/22. Poured at 57°. Chocolate fudge goodness. Definitely better fresh than the 2 yr old bottle I drank on Monday.

    A breezy 61° now. Later today the rain comes through, followed by the lower edge of the cold front sweeping across the country. In a day or two we may have daytime temps that only reach the 40s. Cool for here, and I’ll enjoy a few days of SWFL winter.

    Have a great day y’all, and Cheers!

    It's not that unusual that I drink the same beer as @Shanex and this morning is no exception. I'm drinking Samichlaus Classic 2021 Edition. This is another beer that I’ve never tried before that I got for the holiday tasting and didn't get around to drinking

    Don't usually get to hang with WBAYDN page one-ers but an unexpected day off due to a sick kid brings me to the VB early. Hamms for brunch. Will hopefully be back this evening. Cheers yall!

    Decided to forego morning errands to sit on the patio with the dogs and enjoy the cool damp morning…and drink another BBA impy stout - Bottle Logic’s “Darkstar November” (2022):

    [​IMG]

    Poured at 53°. Sweet bourbon nose. Sweet brown sugar followed by rye and molasses flavors. Warmth in mouth from 12% abv. Another solid beer from Bottle Logic.

    I may do a grocery run this afternoon to get some things for Christmas Day cooking; otherwise, my shopping is done and I plan to just take it easy this weekend. Cheers!
