    Still plowing thru 3 months of mail (and bills) this rainy afternoon...in keeping with my IIPA theme:

    More earthy and less malty than the Palate Wrecker - still very good.

    Good afternoon. I had to give my liver a two day break after all the beer and baseball from the weekend, but now I need some hops in my life. Thanks to @jzeilinger for sending me this because I never probably would have bought it.

    And this is lunch, Natty Boh brauts. Cheers everyone and have a great day!!

    Just a hint of peach and at 8% it's easy drinking. I like it better than I thought I would.

    [​IMG] Bacon explosion is on smoker. First : make bacon lattice 2nd take Italian sausage and put in gallon sized ziploc ( just happen to have some of those for beer trading ) roll sausage thin. Cut edges of bag and put sausage atop bacon lattice Add pizza sauce , pepperoni and cheese. Roll up tight and toothpick closed. I've made a breakfast one before too. Bacon lattice , breakfast sausage, sautéed green peppers and onions , cheese and scrambled eggs. Guessing at about 3-4 hours for this behemoth mass of goodness to be done on the smoker. Someone here taught me this. [​IMG]

    You guys in that big old city have plenty of great beers. We need to make road trips to Colorado. Wyoming doesn't have much for beers, but it's great living here.

    Still in keeping with my self imposed IIPA day, I'm dusting off a personal home brew ( I told you I was cleaning out the fridge to make room...), bottled 11/8/13, an IIPA ringing in at 12.5%. Originally a giant mess - including way too hoppy. With time, it is mellowing:

    [​IMG]

    Still too sweet, but the strong hop flavor has began to fade. The color has turned brown - kinda turning into a barleywine style?

    [​IMG]

    It will be interesting to see what more age will do. Cheers!

    As @RonaldTheriot might very well say (paraphrasing so may not be exact but close enough): "Bottled 05/30/14 ABV 6.75%, brewed in California" :wink:

    Beer Mail Wednesday!

    [​IMG]

    Drinking this Courtesy of @SomethingClever Dank You Beer Brother!

    My overall impression of this beer is it's not bad. I've been spoiled by having fresh kegs of Victory's Headwaters Pale Ale recently that this brew "Pales" in comparison. It's a fine beer and quality made but not really bringing me anything new or exciting to the Style.

    I think I need a minute to collect myself...

    That, good sir, is a work of art! It's more of a bacon explosion than I could ever have hoped for, can't wait to see that bad boy after it's smoked!

    Another Beer Mail Wednesday!

    [​IMG]

    Courtesy of @SomethingClever Dank You again Beer Brother. This year's is top notch. For it being close to 11 % it's still Balanced without the cloying alcohol like on last year's release. One of my pet peeves is a boozy hoppy beer. I'd skull crush these all day!

    Totally agree! I just wish they would date those bottles. I've bought more than a few of them as malt bombs...
