    Some good old RR "Pliny the Elder" named after Gaius Plinius Secundus, better known as Pliny the Elder, was a Roman author, naturalist, and natural philosopher, as well as naval and army commander of the early Roman Empire[​IMG]

    Found a 2012 Nosferatu where no
    Nosferatu should ever rest.
    Not much bite and yes quite malty
    But still one of the best.

    A big thanks to @LeperJim for this sick bottle opener as the spoils from the Day of the Dark WBAYDN thread. I could probably pop a few manhole covers with this monster. Felt I needed a proper big beer to match stature of such a big opener on its inaugural opening...
    [​IMG]
    This should do the trick. I raise my glass to Jim as he embodies what a true BA is and is just an all around amazing guy. Cheers.

    Sometimes you hit up a small liquor store and find a stash of BCBCS.

    I then go home and immediately crack one open...

    HOPS!! So far this is much more consistent than last year when I had it, where each bottle had a different profile.

    I was in the middle of a self impossed, 2 day detox when an unsolicited, generously offered box from @Highbrow appeared on my front porch. You can use the "B" in BA either way and this guy fits the bill. Of course the glasses were quite good enough, but he throws in a bottle of exclusive 10 year with it. Thanks again

    So pardon the beer foul, but this is what I am drinking now.

    The last of the Blackstone beers I picked up earlier, Barista Brew....a coffee stout. Sweeter than I expected for a coffee stout but, fortunately, the sweetness is kept in check. Really good stuff.

    Saw this on the shelf and thought it sounded interesting. Now was that a good choice. Definitely in the top ten beers I've had this year, probably in the top 5.
    [​IMG]

    So a couple months ago I finally got my very own beer fridge! I got a chance to organize it a bit today, and realized it's not nearly big enough, I need a couple more, but at least it's a good start! Didn't pack it to the brim cause I was afraid the shelves would give out. It's not the highest quality fridge haha. It does the trick though!
