Garagiste Meadery Blue Mountain

Espresso. Blueberry. Richness. Sweet.

Afternoon was spent at a local brewery (Imperial Oak > Open Outcry for those in Chicagoland), and now I'm settling in for the evening with a great mead while watching the second half of the Cubs / Cardinals doubleheader. I'm amazed at how well the coffee has maintained in this compared to a beer of the same age, no oxidation or negative coffee character to be found. Espresso / Blueberry aroma and flavor with a base honey sweetness and clean fermentation profile, finishes sweet but the coffee cuts that and adds a bit of body to it as well. Hoping the caffeine gives me enough of a boost to make it through a west coast Phish show on the couch this evening.

Cheers!

Really counted on the neighborhood party to hang. Ultimate fail. They even had a bunch of Spotted Cow, some Ballast Point, and Maplewood. I overestimated their staying power. So I'm here opening beer five with you. Started with Trillium Running Naked, then Focal Banger, then Frost Lush, and Alchemist Crusher. Figured I wouldn't be just helping clean up then coming home by now. Solo beers it is. And some Pearl Jam Wrigley 8/22/16 bootleg.
