Quit lying to yourself, that's Van Winkle reserve.

But if anyone wants to unload a 15 or 20 yr, let me know. $$

 

Haha. Buddy ordered the 20 year just now. About to try that

 

Forgot about this one last night View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1451187794.300358.jpg

 

Shared a Woot stout with my dad, then had a bottle of 2009 Pindar Merlot with dinner, and now onto a glass of apfelwein.

Not sure I can swallow the $750 secondary market but Christmas was good.

 

E H Taylor cured oak. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1451188577.411157.jpg

 

The 20 was quite a bit different. A little more mellow and the oak was different. Not sure how to describe it. Great though!

 

kinda somethng from another post.

here is a 13 month old sour cider. A little experement. About 10% ABV. It was brown sugar, black tea, some random spices from the cabinet (i do that alot) then set out in my shop and open fermented for a week. Held for another week, then secondaried for a month. Bottled dry, un carbed. Honestly at that point it was fing nasty. I almost dumped it. It had the white lambic crap you get from a sour beer, what i expected. Still was gross.
SWAMBO convinced me to bottle it anyway. Over the last year, it has been on my old houses plant shelf for a few months. Then in a storage unit for 4 months. During a record setting 100+ summer. Then in my 65* consistent basement, in my new home, for the rest of the time. Finally opened one a couple weeks ago. OMG its the best cider i have had. Slight sour taste. Very smooth, apple cider taste. I love the bit of tannin you get from the black tea, and it really fleshed out the flavors in it. Im so sad that i only got 4 gallons of it. I dont think i can ever replicate the whole process. But i still get to enjoy it for a bit. I have drank about a gallon of it already

Hop stupid. Still awake, and the game is not helping me get ready for an early AM run.

Like.

Did you work yesterday?

 

I really wish that Imperial Korova wasn't a one off.

 

Nope. Three day weekend!
12 straight days and I was pooped.
Glad its over!

 

Short Mead then bed. A few other beers earlier.

 

I had a Foothills Brewery "Jade" IPA earlier.

Awesome.

 

Me too! Could have taken Monday off but it's light. I fell asleep for 4 hours today without trying. SWMBO is a saint for letting me be.

Another 3 day weekend next, with triple time on Thursday.

 

Forgot the photo.

This and others.

 

Coffee. Getting ready for the 6hr drive up north in a packed car to the world of 3 hrs of sunshine per day. Should have brought some actual Darkness with me...

 

Only 3? How far north are you going?!

 

Awesome

Not quite to the arctic circle, but probably only a few hours away from it I think. 62nd parallel.

 

Café. Just had peanut butter toast.

Gonna go get schooled by neighbors on an easy 8 mile run. Grumble. One is 16, the other two are older than me.


... Never mind they all run marathons.

 

I brewed it before it was cool. Trendsetter.

Full Throttle... Big day of working around the house. Might try to brew, but that'll be pushing it.

 

Looks like a custom piece, worth a Google though. Nothing I represent t at this time, at least that I know of

 

Drive safe! Enjoy the darkness, I would love to sleep up there.

 

Coffee, waffle and bacon all in me, relaxing before taking my mom & MIL to see a Christmas "castle".

 

Tea. Ugh. Forgot to bring the Surly with us, and all liquor stores are closed here Sundays. Guess I'll be giving my liver a well deserved break today...

 

Coffee. Thinking of beer, but will likely wait until after my son's hockey game.
