I'm a fan of that one, but it needs to warm up some to really shine. Enjoying my CA Common while making some Christmas cookies.

That's what it's doing right now.. It is actually getting a little tastier. It's just more of a balanced IPA, like DFH90 and Bells Hopslam

A classic example of hop paradigm shift.

Mikkeller Hop Burn Double IPA from Belgium. Lots of yeast sediment on the bottom of the bottle. Great flavor but super different than West coast DIPAs I am used to.

Glad you like it. So do you see what I was talking about. Definitely needs more dry hops next time.

As for my current beverage, I'm continuing my clean out of aged Sam Adams beers with this. I'm enjoying this one better than the Imperial Stout and Dopplebock. Nice smokiness and very smooth for 10% ABV.

The Mikkeller is actually very similar to my attempt at a English IPA. Getting a lot of East Kent
