All were great beers, but the Gingerbread Stout was the winner for me. Then we made an impromptu trip over to Saint Arnold where I had Santo Black Kolsh, Icon Belgian IPA, Elissa IPA, Brown Ale and Endeavor IPA. My favorite was the Endeavor. Soooo yummy! Then my brother and I went to downtown liquor store (Spec's) that has an awesome selection to pick up a few brews. Didn't get pictures of any of them because I was busy catching up with my friend, but you'll see pictures of the beers I picked up at Spec's. I didn't get that much because the place was packed and the parking process had already pissed me of so I kinda just wanted to get out of there. I'm going to go back on Wednesday to get the beers I set out to get while I am down here.
Looks like you hit the town well today. Downtown specs I expect to be packed because its probably close Christmas eve and day. So it was the last day. Did you see the $250,000 collection of whiskey? Lol. Wednesday it'll be less pack. If your in the area check out D&Q. It's a gas station with a great selection of brews.

That's what it's doing right now.. It is actually getting a little tastier. It's just more of a balanced IPA, like DFH90 and Bells Hopslam

Glad you like it. So do you see what I was talking about. Definitely needs more dry hops next time.
nukebrewer said:The fruity note I didn't get at all and even got a second opinion from my brother. I do agree, more dry hops and lower mash temp would fix that baby right up. No technical flaws that I could tell, so your process is sound.
