What are you drinking now?

Back home after a taxing as always evening with the in-laws. Drinking my Quad and then going to bed.

Only good thing i've had so far was some 30 year old scotch and I don't like scotch but it was very nice!
Now this, young but tasty, stone fruit, tart.
This was a small batch and I started a 5 gallon batch after I tasted at bottling, hope it comes out as well, going to be fun seeing how this develops.

Thanks Remmy!! Yeah the WSM is pretty awesome.

My first first cook ever on it. And on Turkey Day. Turned out amazing. So happy with it.

Now to this. Thought it would be darker but it's damn good.

I assume you have no "funk" flavors yet? Bottled a month ago or brewed?

The issue with this one is it's a nice change of pace, but I can't do more than 2 glasses in a row. I only made 2.5 gal, just seems to never end. Which is why I've switched to my cascade pale.

No funk at all brewed 7/26 , bottled 10/16.
What can I expect?

Last of my vanilla porter. Getting smacked.

Happy Thanksgiving guys! Hopefully, I'll be having a fresh one of these tomorrow.

It's got a funk that I appriciate but didn't expect. Swmbo demanded that this be the next beer we try. She might have a mild simco addiction.

for me, Brett sets in solid around 8 months. Maybe around April you will taste the farmyard, leathery, hoarse blanket, funk that Brett can add. If you have never had a Brett beer then the flavor is next to impossible to describe, but it IS good.

Mmmm horse blanket?

Wow, this has a lot of fruity Belgian esters. I'm assuming it was intentional, but it tastes like fruitcake.

Interesting.... SWMBO in my house is a hop head too but she tried this one last week and didn't even finish it. Said it had an aroma of cat urine. I use Simcoe in my IPA's but always with other hops.

Happy Turkey day to those who made it this far

No, I've had it but knew 100% would produce fruity esters, thought they would hang around longer, will they start blending with the farm yard or will it come on strong?
This is very nice where it is and I know it's going to change.

Home sweet home. Not as good as i remember this beer being.

I honestly like it more than I thought I would. Looking at her pace... I might get half of hers as well.

Yeah, I agree. That last time I had it, it was very thin and had an alcohol bite that I didn't remember.

I see swmbo stealing this from me. I really need to start writing the names of these troegs beers down for next years Hershey trip.

Mmmm,

Fresh Squeezed IPA.

Yep, she took it.

View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1417146185.876980.jpg

I had to try this based on posts from here although I would have never bought this beer based on description. I like it but see swmbo being double fisted when I give her a taste.

One more bottle for the night. Gotta 'work' tomorrow.

A little to sweet. The bourbon comes through nicely at the end.

This is one of those times where I wish I had a 6+ tap kegerator. At least you could enjoy a beer over a long amount of time versus finishing a keg to finally get a new one on tap.

Ten fidy! !

I have a hard enough time keeping my 3 taps full & flowing. Keeping pipeline full with six would result in divorce
I should have bottled the peppercorn. Lesson learned.

Second pour.

Really enjoying this. Most Old Ales I try are cloying, but this isn't too sweet at all. This only my second HotD brew, but so far I'm enjoying them.

BBobbbayyyy.

Sorry for the lack of a pic but I am pretty sure you all know what all of my glasses look like and have seen FBS. My phone is on the charger in the bedroom. Having a snack of Turkey and green bean casserole and going to bed. I need to be at work in a lot less hours than I wish it were.
