Drinking a Hopslam while organizing the beer/wine fridge(mango wine in the corona bottles). The Hopslam was bottled 1/10 and I'm picking up more bitterness than I did last night when I first had it. Next up, my IIPA to see how it compares. Slainte!

Damn all of you and your Jai Alai! I doubt anywhere local carries it, but I'm on a mission to find some now...
Yeah, that one'll get ya for sure. Great beer though.
That's an amazing beer, gotta couple the other day. I thought it topped FBS for sure, but I'm gonna sit on the other bottle and try again in a few months.
Dude, man, I am VERY jealous of you right now.
My god man!! And you people say that I have a problem.
No, really, not a bad beer to have an assload of. Workin' on a nice li'l stout....
Let the stout parade continue...
Hopslam. Super ripe fruit/dankyness-yeah the aroma is all over your face pretty much. Sweet caramel/honeyness. Has more body than I remember it before,but think Im on the,- Its better this year train. Or am I just sayin that cuz this was bottled 15 days ago? Possibly not really bitter enough either? or as bitter as I remembered it. Definatley not complaining though. Unless they already do this,I almost think this is hopbursted this time.It shure is drinkable- my glass is empty and im thinking wtf?-now. And I thought it would be the last beer of the night....

I had my first FBS the other day and thought it was great, but I agree with you, Wake-N-Bake is better. The problem with WnB is that it's a seasonal and it is hard to find around here. My local liquor sold out in 3 hours, I had to drive 60 miles to get my last 2 four packs.

Didn't have last years, but I definitely agree with the aroma/flavor. Real tasty!

My Midnight Maple Wheat, aging nicely and the maple is coming through nicely.

The last glass of my coffee oatmeal RIS. Nothing like standing on a snow covered deck making burgers on the barbecue, and having a beer... while not wearing pants.

Incredible. Thanks to Jeremy for Rlrhis and some other 3Fs
Ballast Point Sea Monster. Another great beer from nukebrewer.
The beer in the background (Cigar City Moat Water) was just dropped off by SWMBO's best friend who wants me to make a clone for her wedding in December. Trying it tomorrow but I don't even know where to begin, imperial sweet stout with vanilla and coffee beans aged on maple wood. My head hurts already.
Great ... now I have another stout to hunt down!
I think you can do the Moat Water clone by just doing a milk stout and add vanilla and coffee (carefully.) While it is conditioning you could pull a few samples and add it to maple at various sizes/treatments and see where it goes. The biggest problem is you don't have a lot of time to punt and start over. Good luck!
I think the aroma and finish on the WnB was superior ... but I think the FBS had a better mouth feel and initial taste on the tongue. I wish I could get enough WnB to do lots of side-by-side comparisons, but I doubt I'll get that lucky again. As it is, I'll probably let my 2nd bottle sit until spring and then give in!
Yeah, I got a buddy who was nice enough to send a couple. I may have another bottle or two in line if another buddy doesn't drink 'em first. Good good stuff, I can see why it went so fast.
Needed some hops after pizza and a stout.

My crossed-eyed pig IPA
But you know I got in trouble today when WF had 20% off All Beer! That makes it almost affordable.

You're killing me here!!
I'm just cranky because I'm still not drinking. I've felt too sick to drink for almost three weeks so I've only had two beers in that time period. And now I'm on antibiotics, so still no beer.
As soon as I'm better my beer fridge won't know what hit it. Will I start with the Hopslam, the Sixpoint Resin, Bear Republic Racer 5..........too many choices. I wish Wookey was one if them though.
Those macarons look incredible!

I think I'm screwed on this one, just doing research it sounds amazing (100 on RB and 96 on BA). Coffee dominant in the nose, lays in the background on the tongue. Vanilla and maple play well with a definite taste of lactose. Superior mouth feel. I do have a 2.5gal set up, but the wedding is in December. No bottles allowed at the venue and they want bottles to keep until their anniversary. Will be asking for help on this one. .

They're the Pierre Hermé, none finer. They go every year at this time, and have brought them back for the last 4 or 5 years. My food snob kids have come to expect them.

Thanks man, I think another few days to a week and I'll be back to normal.
Until then you guys will have to continue to pick up my slack here.
Carry on.
