Sample of my golden sour. Getting better. Stuff has that cracker aftertaste. Hope that goes a way. 15 months in almost ready

Bomber of my Doppelsticke Alt, waiting on the 3rd period and hoping for NYR meltdown.

Griffin Claw's Norm's Raggedy Ass IPA

 

[Ridire]

One more of my astringent Pales as a nightcap. If I were told every day for the rest of my life would be like today, I'd be ok with it.

Could this be the most amazing beer in the world?

Doing a head to head comparison. My milk stout made with Costa Rican cocoa husks in primary and nibs in the secondary and then bottled with a home-brewed Kona blend cold-brewed coffee concentrate...I call it a Mocha Latte Stout...versus Troegs Java Head.

Okay...Troegs has got a better head on the pour and dissipates, leaving a partial thin layer on the surface. As I drink it, it leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Mine is a more fizzy carb and the head goes away. No lacing.

Coffee is clearly present in the aroma on Java Head. I quickly get a malt sweetness and a hit that I think is hops and quickly becomes coffee with a slightly sour, then bitter finish. The aroma on mine is a little sweeter coffee with the chocolate coming through. The flavor on mine is definitely coffee and a little chocolate. It has bitterness, but there's nothing "hoppy" about it and it doesn't really linger. I think the sweetness in mine is all chocolate/lactose, I think they cover any hops and I don't get malt.

So, while I think mine very tasty and I like the coffee/chocolate flavor, Troegs Java Head is definitely more complex and, though the coffee is obvious, the malt and hops still manage to come through. And the carb/head is much smoother and finer than mine.

I plan to brew an all-grain version of mine in the future and I'll make some tweaks to refine the head and carb, and I may change the hops variety and bump the amount...or have a 15 minute addition. I'm not sure how to not cover the malt.

So...both good, mine not as complex...and I'm having fun getting smacked!

I wouldn't go that far but I like to change things up and Norm is a nice change of pace from Bells.

Apparently the 'something different' was
Coffee.






Yep I am in NOVA/DC. Let me know. Funny.... My mother has similar gripes when I ask her to bring Jester King with her when she comes up from San Antonio.

Shipping is not too bad because it is fairly short. Alternatively, if you give me a list of beer, I can see what I can get from a local bottle ship that is out of your distro..... If you can convince your SWMBO.

I may try to ship a box, once this batch is ready...maybe make a road trip some day. SWMBO doesn't even like popping into a Wegman's or Whole Foods and grabbing some Troegs stuff. Tonight, I'm trying to finish my stout comparison. I may have enough stamina for something after that...we'll see.

Shiner Bock. God bless Texas.

Whelp, my plans for the evening are shot. Time to salvage it with a half growler of Midnight Oil and as much Back in the Saddle IPA as I can drink before I pass out or the keg kicks. This will do nicely to start.

Wow, a more accommodating SWMBO! Anytime in the area, I can arrange to swap some hb! Summer brew won't go into bottles until around Wednesday, though. BTW, I picked up a bomber of barley wine from somewhere in Lancaster, PA a couple of months ago...it was either Appalachian Brewing Co. or Lancaster Brewery. Anyway, I hid
it in a closet to age.
