Fellowship of the Drink IV: I'm out of Lord of the Rings Puns

[Scturo]

I am quite pleased, @scturo takes great care of his recipients! Thanks a ton!

Glad it got there in one piece. Cheers!

Yes!! 13% I am quite sad that the FG was so high 1.05 but yes yes! I am very glad they made it safely!

FG at 1.05 and 13%? Were you aiming for 17?

... Just about if not more. I was hoping for anything 15%+ but I just couldn't get there, OG was 1.113. Need to change up yeast next time or do mixed fermentation. Haven't had another HBer try any of my brews so I'm nervous lol

Tomorrow is right around the corner my friend.

Package arrived from k1ngl1ves. Can't wait to tear into them. Going to load them into the beer fridge now.

All together like they are, that is probably the most obnoxious looking bunch of cans I've ever seen. It's like a nyan cat drank too much tequila and barfed all over the place.

Oh yeah, tell me what the beer is too. It's mine, just not sure what and from when.

Imperial stout.

Initial impression was good flavor-wise, but body was thin.

As it warmed, however, it became freakishly good. Extremely well done.

 

[jimyson]

Bourbon?

 

[imasickboy]

Bourbon?

There was a noticeable alcohol presence, but no detectable wood flavor, so I wouldn't say there was any added bourbon unless it was a very tiny amount.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Thanks a ton imasickboy. Awesome packing and exciting extras! Love that shipping box packing.

Bit of luck involved. The Nomura was out in 1 day. WTF is Juice in 2. Austin Beer Works just released that Monday. Don't forget to toss the 4th tap unless you love butter. Glad it all arrived safe and sound! Cheers my friend!

Got Afro_lou's on Thursday but didn't get a picture and only had chance to drink one HenHouse IPA so far out of the box. Took it to a party on Saturday and on Sunday didn't feel like having any beer (Thanks, Saturday night!)

It's a nice load of beers to sample for the next couple weeks. Even got some hot sauce to put in my Chicken Chili on Friday night!

 

[PaulR]

Shout out to Homercidal for this awesome box of goodness that just showed up. Can't wait to dig into all of these, really wish it was Friday again now, lol. And I will be using this box again along with the glass shipper to keep the streak alive.

@RevKev I drank your imperial stout over the weekend and have to say that it pours beautifully with a pitch black color and about a 1/4" head that turned into a ring fairly quick. Lots of roast flavor, and damn it was HOT! I bet a good year on the cellar shelf would do that beer well. Overall good flavor. It the alcohol presence was in no way, shape, or form hidden so it took over a lot when you drank it. Overall, nice work.

It definitely will benefit from some age, has ~5 months on it now and I have still about 2.5 gallons sitting around for next winter! I definitely will have quite a few bottles that I will cellar and give out once I do my variants! I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback, it was my first time designing a stout and I went big haha, I apologise for the lack of a nice label didn't have anymore when it came time

Hope you enjoy the rest of the box too!!

Got this nice porch bomb today from @JDXX1971. Can't wait to try them all, especially the homebrew!

Had this waiting when I woke up. Thanks, Jerbrew, can't wait to try them.

 

[Scturo]

Wow, got porch bombed by TBC today. Thanks man for the awesome offer and extras. Glad to see I must break you in the box! I'll be crushing these all weekend.

 

[k1ngl1ves]

A little side quest with tlucarelli. The bottles were cold when they arrived (Thanks Snowpocalypse 2017!), so I cracked the Rhinegeist right away! Delicious! Can't wait to empty these! Lol!

Glad they got there safe! Would love feedback on the homebrew also. It's been about 7 months since brew day on that RIS

Glad everything made it fine. Let me know what you think about the "I must break you!" Enjoy!

 

[Relampago]

Received PaulR's box this morning none of the stuffed animals from the picture were in the box. I think all the extra beer took up all the room. Thank you for the generosity.

Thinking about having a Big Chicken tonight. Girl from work is coming over to learn more about D&D and I think that will work well for sitting around discussing Character creation, gameplay, etc.

Good thing she doesn't like beer, LOL! More for me!

Are you sure she's really interested in D&D, or is it just an excuse to be around and learn more about you?

I think it's the later. She's not looking for D&D. She's looking for The D...

 

[Scturo]

I agree, she's not after D&D, maybe some S&M. [emoji6]
