    Got a nice refreshing 30 mile MTB ride in after work today. My saddle rail top clamp fell off unknowingly while I was riding, so I had a very unpleasant last 8 miles of riding home trying to balance a saddle on the seatpost and bottom clamp plate with my thighs :confused: Thomsons seatpost clamp design is unique. (tomorrow I will resolve this with a bike shop visit)

    Revisit reviews:

    Great old ale, but does not live up to expectations from last time I had the 30. Very similar to the 12 and 16 I also had this year, not a whole lot of additional complexities were there. Taste of chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, vanilla, toast, toffee, oak, raisin, fig, peat smoke, leather, and roast/oak earthiness. I am going to make sure to sit on the Reserve 40 I have for a while longer. This was bottled a year ago.

    Reviewed over 3 years ago, and with a previous year vintage(aka OLD). Haven't seen it fresh til today, 5/1/14 22 oz. Very delicious DIPA; definitely maltier than most, but still has great balance. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, caramel, brown sugar, bread, floral, grass, pine. Good amount of pine bitterness on the finish. A bit slick and fairly sticky mouthfeel.

    Wow, Delirium Noel is still as awesome as I remember. Big raisin, plum, fig, pear, apple, apricot, banana, brown sugar, toast, clove, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Tons of complexity and well balanced yeast and deep malt flavors. I love this just as much as 2 years ago.

    Nightcapping it with a Milwaukee Brewing Company Polish Moon Milk Stout. Tasty stuff. Might have to make it a double header

    Moving on to one that used to be one of my favorites, but this last four pack does not taste up to par... Plus, it seems to have been bottled in the future. Wonder if that had anything to do with it? lol

    I'm trying Dead Guy Ale for the second time. The first was two or three years ago before I even new craft beer like even existed. All I remember thinking back then was "... whoa, it's one of those weird beers like Arrogant Bastard that comes in the big bottles with crazy artwork and is really strong..." My how I've changed after exploring the world of imperial stouts, DIPAs, barleywines, Belgian ales, and other more intense styles. Still, I think this is a pretty tasty and refreshing bready brew. Kind of like an American pale ale, I think.

    One of these days when I run out of IPA in my fridge, I will just stop drinking beer for about four weeks so I can get back into competitive running shape. Today, however, is not that day, so I decided to share this awesome treat with a few friends who are just starting to get into sour-ish beers:

    It's not actually Duvel in the glass, but the same beer I reviewed yesterday, Milwaukee Brewing Company Hop Freak.

    What an amazing brew. I think this is limited. Only way to describe it is as a slightly lighter Heady Topper. I will be buying more of this.

    EPILOGUE

    "Drink With The Duvel Day ~ June 6th Eternally" is over.

    I laughed, I cried, but I mostly laughed. Many souls were saved and a few were lost. I was surprised when Yog-Sothoth arrived with The Duvel. Thus, I was forced to depart this earthly plane for a few hours. It wasn't a pleasant trip, but then, this is the price I must pay for listening to the voices at night.

    Equations are being solved, and numbers are being assembled by the Cthulhuic Council
    and the accounting department in R'lyeh.

    A full report will come at a later time.

    Thanks for indulging The Duvel!
