Creme Brûlée. I'm pretty sure it's gonna take me two hours to drink this rich goodness
Yeah, seems like the best bet, especially because they keep sending me coupons since I made it to the cart and didn't check out. I might wait a couple more days and see if it goes down anymore. Trades with Mark are always good!

Critical Anxious from Tired Hands! Thanks a ton Mark. I've really been looking forward to this one.
And??
It's freakin good. I have a hard time believing he didn't use WLP072 in this instead of his saison strain. I'll have to make sure I don't tell my friend who has the blowout tastinsg about this. He's a big TH fan and an absolute freak for beers with flowers in them. No way a big growler of this was going to make it until I go down to Knox next weekend. In fact, between me and the mrs I really doubt it's going to make it through dinner. I better get some homebrew in the fridge so I don't kill multiple growlers tonight. Might have to take the ESD on our hike tomorrow, seems like the perfect beer for a picnic with a view.

Not bad, not sure how fresh it is.
Glad you both are enjoying it! I was going to get you some Lizard Queen but figured you'd rather have some more ESD instead
BTW - did those growlers leak much/at all?
I'm gonna make a silk screen of that.
Haymaker IPA from Mankato Brewery.
Just a little seepage, much better than if the growler had broken! I've got no idea what it's called, but there is clear stretchy non adhesive tape someone wrapped yeast vials lids in that looks good. Electrical tape is also a good choice. I've got my fingers crossed the SCOBYs I send out yesterday make it where they are going. I send some jelly jars with brett in them too I'm a little worried about.
Yeah, really glad you sent the ESD. One of the best saisons I've ever had. Critical Anxious is really good. Loving it to.
If you do, you know I want something! We were just talking about naming a stout that. I might spray paint it on the wall of the brewery.
The Icon series has been pretty good the icon red and Gold were the best.

I really prefer dry DuPont style saisons. This one was too heavy and overbearing for me. Then again I know about how important mood and situation are for beer and me and I was tired and needed a quick drink to relax.
Teflon tape

All this narwhal talk had me going after the four pack in my fridge. Surprisingly little head on the pour, definitely a bit boozy and because of that I feel like all that flavorful malt is just getting covered up. Very little of the cocoa/coffee to me and I'd almost swear there was a little bit of astringency to it. Probably let the other sit for a while and come back to it but overall I'm kind of disappointed
Put those away until next year ... You'll be happy you did.

How were the ones I sent you? I went with the ugly electrical tape method. First time I shipped growlers and I was nervous about it...
Well it was very high abv for a saison. More like a Belgian quad then a saison. But still quite good.
TNGabe said:.They were fine. Got a little nervous when I saw the outside box all dented up, then I realized there was an inside box and you'd gone with the 'egg drop' method. Don't know if anyone else did an egg drop comp in HS physics...Almost busted out the glass tonight, but I think I'm saving it for the matching beer.
