The thing with half pours is I just drink too many of them!How about half-a-pour Sunday? Half pint of HB Altbier.

Local ProAm winner Belgian single.
See what I mean?Another half pint...
No not mine… this could be the year I put some entries in for the first time, though.Yours?
I like it. It does age well too. We have a guy in our club who has it going back 10 years or so. I brew barleywine usually once a year and this is the model I aspire to.Bigfoot. Awful! Perhaps Sierra should have named this Bigtaint instead.

Edit: First time trying this.. I REALLY wanted to like it. I really did. Truth is, I don't. I don't like this one bit. The reason I don't is that it is SO alcohol-forward that that is all that you taste. No complexity like you'd find with a Belgian Quad or Doppelbock. The experience of drinking this is not too dissimilar to what you would have drinking MD 20/20. Disappointing. I'd much rather drink whiskey. Wormwood, black pepper and not much else here. In addition, this is WAYYYY too hop-bitter for the ABV, and that is what ruins this for me. It makes the raw ethanol bite punch you straight in the face. Unpleasant. This tastes like when you accidentally get some deep woods off in your mouth while treating your face. Think what Jeppson's Malort would be like if it were an ale. I hate this. I want my $6 back!
If that was what I was drinking now, I'd not be typing, that's for sure.
All 12 of my beer cases have beer in them. First time in a long timeIf that was what I was drinking now, I'd not be typing, that's for sure.
Sounds intriguing. Mind shooting a quick recipe?Let us all take a moment, as we clearly (pun intended) near the end of the keg, to bid adieu to the HB Azacca Cashmere pale.

DAMMIT..!! I almost blew Spotted Cow out my nose when I saw that Voldemort meme.!!HB Scotch Wee Heavy with dinner.
Should have bottled it on 4/20...HB Alt on right, Long Trail Ale on left. Was shooting for anything in the ballpark of LT, but box says it was bottled on 4/21. It's much sweeter than I remembered. Enjoying mine more! (Not being cocky AT ALL.)View attachment 761096
Looks like you’ve got yourself a Kristallweizen there.
April 2021 Maybe it was actually April 20th, 2021Should have bottled it on 4/20...
It's crazy, 59% wheat even. Last time I brewed it it was your typical cloudy wheat beer for the length of the keg. The only thing different for this one was I threw in a whirlfoc tablet towards the end of the boil, just out of habit rather than on purpose. Tastes just like the last batch though.Looks like you’ve got yourself a Kristallweizen there.
