I was wondering the same thing. I seent it on the book face.

Yeah Elaborative 4 available as an on-site "preview". Since it's so low ABV they are also letting groups get one after already splitting a CD bottle. Citrusy and a bit creamy, very nice beer.

CD13 is the truth. Up there with Sarrasin as my favorite HF beer. And it pairs perfectly with the cheese plate.

Love that Alpine cheese, whatever it's called. CD15 still there for on-site as well?

Yep, but less of 13 so we grabbed that today and are going to get 15 on Friday.

Afternoon (3pmish I think) because we are going to do Waterbury for the morning/lunch. Then Parker for dinner after.

I was supposed to go out to HF this morning, but....then my wife told me she booked a "girl's day" and I realized that meant I would be taking my daughter to HF...she was like...

so, possibly Friday.

Good chance I open one with breakfast tomorrow, if so I'll post my thoughts.

opening twilight in an hour will leave feedback.

Vanilla and coffee on the nose and throughout the sip. Cinnamon at the end. Really smooth on the palate overall great beer. This batch of double Galaxy and Nelson though are on super point. Elaborative 4 was super tart and a little puckering! Hope everyone enjoys their thanksgiving brews. Cheers!

 

[JulianB1]

Scott's Revenge wings, Edward, and Convivial Suarez at Parker Pie, good way to wind down the day.

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

Julian, cheese.

There we go

 

[JulianB1]

This batch of Double Citra on draft at Parker is just mind-blowingly good. I'll be back here on Friday afternoon clobbering pours of it.

Anyone able to compare the two Clara releases from July and August? The August release had the Foudres (or was it Puncheon) in the description and was wondering if there was a discernible difference between the two.

 

[JulianB1]

Just an incredibly well-balanced beer, really the total opposite of how most breweries would go about using these adjuncts. The flavors are all there but the star of the show is the base porter itself. I think it really shows the sort of care and attention to detail Shaun puts into his beers with regards to balancing flavors and creating a pleasant drinking experience as opposed to just assaulting your senses.

 

[tylerk88]

If anyone has any extras, I'd love to get my hands on some Twilight!

 

[JulianB1]

Number45, any idea when you were thinking about hitting HF tomorrow? Hoping to be there around 3-4 to get fills before closing, then we are headed to PP for the rest of the day/night. I plan on eating at least one pizza, maybe more depending on how long we post up. And more wings, definitely a lot more wings.

I'm thinking of trading for some HF porters/stouts for my dad for Christmas, since he loves these styles and hasn't had the chance to try any HF versions.

Twilight of the Idols 2015 sounds like a good place to start. Have recent batches of Everett been good? I recall having one a bottle a couple years ago that was phenomenal. Any other fairly easy to get but delicious HF bottles I should seek out? Thanks guys.

Pretty sure I can help you out. Would an everett, geneaology, and twilight do the trick? Could grab a fear and trembling too if you think he would like that.

Prob will be there about 2-3. I'm out for Parker,

Having Twilight now. Agree completely with this. Nothing is overdone. Porter shines with slight vanilla and coffee. It's just absolutely ******* perfect.

Prob will be there about 2-3. No Parker for me. Would love to meet up. Get there 2:30 or 3 if possible. Meet me and the CD15 is on me.

Everett has been great. Don't hesitate to get that for your father.

I'll be there, wearing a red NWAlpine pullover. Look for the guy who looks like he's about to go climbing but has too big of a gut for it.

 

[CypherEnigma]

I'll be there Saturday around 3-4pm. I don't know any of you guys will be too but I'll be looking for someone so split bottles with. I'll be there queen with the nail polish and mules(the shoes, not the people).

 

[Number45]

JulianB , please.

Was awesome meeting up today and splitting a CD13 and CD15. Just cracked a Twilight, what an incredible beer. Love it. Another great day at the Hill.

 

[Gene1]

Taking an unplanned trip up there tomorrow morning with KevyWevy and Os. It's a cannonball run so we won't be sticking around too long, but hope to see some of you fine folks there!
