Ahhh...

Just thought I'd mention that I have been working very hard lately. I just finished a big design project (OK, 90%, but met with the cust. and they are happy).

Haven't slept, ate, acted normally, or had a beer in a while. So, tonight, I had an Imperial Pumkin Ale, one of those weird Banana Bread beers, and a couple of my excellent malty Milds (if I don't say so myself).

I am pleasantly lubricated, and I just posted a series of replies here that were either witty or offensive; won't know which till tomorrow.

Regardless, I'm feeling great and want to wish everyone on this board the best of the fall seasons. I am greatly looking forward to working less and generally enjoying myself. Cheers.

Now that was cathartic.

Pleasantly lubricated = a beautiful phrase

Cheers to you, sir.

I think someone needs a hug! **reaches his arms out**
hehe

Oh dude, no, not me! He does!

How was the banana bread beer? I have seen it on the shelf, but haven't been able to force myself to buy it yet.

Not worth the money. If you love bananas, they're there in spades (not just banana esters, but really really banana). The beer left a very minor astringency in the back of my throat.

You might get one just so it will stop staring you down when you walk past it.

Hmm... Yeah. I'm not sure. There are lots of beers there that I have not tried. It just sounds so... Odd...

What style is it? Besides banana flavored.

The banan bread ale was delicious mixed with young double chocolate shout ala black and tan style.

Funny, I thought about doing exactly that. I heard about someone else doing that, too.

Now THAT sounds good! I should make that for the next party. My peeps' eyes will bug out!

I'm still trying to figure out a way to do a banana bread ale maybe start with a british mild with a little biscut malt and add banana to the mash and secondary, and spices into the boil/secondary I'm thinking brew infuser with cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans
