Okay, so probably the 120 proof bourbon earlier in the evening had something to do with this, but hear it out.
Saturday, I brought a growler of my GP/Chinook SMaSH to my GF's, even though it had only been carbonating for 2 days. It was still foggy and undercarbed, but very zippy and balanced. I commented that this beer would be better if it was a little warmer, like a cask ale. GF put about a quarter cup in the microwave for 15 seconds or so, and it came out at probably ~115ºF...
It was incredible hot! A pleasant medicinal herb tea thing came out, and the low carbonation was still there. So good, we put the rest of the growler through the microwave in small quantities.
Any experiences in this area?
