What are you drinking now?

Got this sucker as a gift today. What do you guys think? Should I let it age a while, or drink it today?

Bourbon and first runnings of my Promised Land Stout(milk and honey stout).

Whew, i'm not sure I could drink wort & whisky!

Although it's about beer thirty. Can't say I've been drinking all day unless I start in the morning and I've only got a few minutes left.

Mmmmmm

'Abbey' Single, aged on blackberries. I was too lazy to bottle condition since it was less than a gallon, but I don't mind flat beer.

How's it change with age? I remember, not fondly, trying a freshish bottle 10+ years ago.

Not drinking yet but am I a bad person for having stone arrogant bastard, anniversary ipa, and RIS for me and 18 cans of coors light for everyone else. I don't care too much for our guests this evening

EEK I don't allow Coors or Bud light in my house /shudder If I have guests like that they can drink water (I will pee in it if they want Coors light)

Bad person? No. Dick? Maybe. I know I sure am. Keep us posted as you consume 66oz of Stone with people you loathe.

I digg it... Super sweet, and some oxidation, but it tasted great. I shared half the bottle with my wife.

Starting here before our hour drive to the in-laws. Drinking my "liquid smiles" abut faster than normal. Might have to down a SN Celebration also. Gotta prime the pump haha. MerryChristmas all.

On to the second batch of the day. First runnings of my Chocolate Orange Peel Stout and bourbon.

Belma bittered and Nelson knockout saison gravity sample. 1.064 to 1.002 in 10 days.

Flying dog - raging ***** pale ale.....good stuff.

Should I, or Shouldn't I?

Got this back in early November. So tasty. Love DFH.

You sir are a champion.

Drinking Bell's Christmas Ale.

I would love the recipe for Chocolate Orange Peel Stout....sounds phenomenal.

Wow. Some extended time in the fridge did amazing things for this beer.

We drank a 2011 and a 2012 side by side at Halloween the difference was insane. Both great, but the 11 was head and shoulders above three 12

Hmmm how long exactly was "extended time"?

Just finished a Founders Red's pale ale, and tonight a lindeman's apple lambic with prime rib!

**** yes. Been waiting a while to crack my first bottle of this. Nice toasty oak notes and lots of dark fruit and spices. Definitely some dark cherry flavors. Very very nice! Look forward to cracking my next bottle next year.

Finally got breakfast cleaned up and dinner all ready to go so it's time for a beer!

My Saison @ Christmas Ale. Zombie Dust later.

This is my first time brewing this recipe so I can't say exactly how it will turn out but I'm more than happy to share the recipe I came up with when I get a chance.

Absolutely! I'm also jealous, because I can't get it here, and I really want to try it. That's ok though, I'm having some RIS (Big Eddy), Boddingtons on nitro, and some dry stout on nitro. I'll finish my day off by ordering 50 lbs of Golden Promise for a batch I'm doing next week...

One of 2 bottles I got.
