    We got out of work at 11am today for the weather, and no work tomorrow. There's a lot of ice on the ground and temperatures will stay below zero until Friday. Time for a big Cellaruary beer!

    Hello folks! I just wrote a whole post about how much I like this banger beer I’m drinking but I couldn’t get my photos to work and lost it cause I copied over it like a dope! Second times the charm…

    Right into it!

    Brew: Horchata Cream Ale
    Brewery: Patina Brewing (Port Coquitlam, BC)
    Style: Cream Ale
    ABV: 5.5%
    Rating: 4.10/5.00

    Alrighty! I’m getting BIG notes of cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and a malty breadiness that’s been modified by the adjuncts to create this fruity pastry flavour that’s just glorious. Seriously tastes like horchata. I get a slight minerality (once the flavours subside) while typing between sips.

    Mouthfeel is to be expected for a cream ale. Slightly fuller than usual but other than that she’s crispy as a MUTHA with nothing out of the ordinary going on.

    The nose is similar to the tasting notes but slightly less interesting, far more concentrated, aroma of green apple, cinnamon, and this milky sweet pastry. Basically as much as this tastes like horchata, the beer factor makes it taste and smell more like apple pie in a great way.

    In the end this is a killer beer that totally surprised me. It’s one thing that it’s a great, honest cream ale, but it’s another thing that it delivers on what it says it is and tastes like the delicious beverage it’s based on. I find a lot of beers that claim to taste like something else falling short. This one hits the mark.

    Hope everyone’s enjoying their beers this Tuesday night. Much love. Cheers!

    Rough day.
    Just settled down. Something really strange happened earlier tonight. Just happened to walk outside and the sky is very clear and you can see Venus amd some stars. Well I saw UFOs. I know I'm nuts but trust me I'm the biggest skeptic. This was a line of identical lights all spaced apart the same distance. There had to be like 25. They flew high in the atmosphere then spread. I grabbed my phone but it was dark as heck. Put my phone on night photo. This is one of the pics. Keep in mind the shutter stays open longer in night mode. These lights were completely in a straight line all flying the same rate. [​IMG]

    Took a moment for all the anal probing jokes to rush through my head,and I know that's a sensitive issue for @GreenBayBA but that sounds interesting @tasterschoice62 [​IMG]

    It would be criminal if Double Bastard in 19 ounce cans wouldn’t be called the Big Bastard.

    OK, time to catch up. Going with pork schnitzel with a paprika sour cream sauce for the main, and Bratkartoffeln as a side (with bacon, onions, and cheddar). Step one: trim and halve the pork. Step two: boil the potatoes.

    Switched to a lovely dry Riesling my partner purchased today for this meal specifically, so that's it, BAs. Cheers and good night!
