Dessert & very sweet.
 
Buffalo Trace is very hit or miss finding it here in PA. We have state run liquor stores. Our liquor store gets their deliveries on Thursdays and you check then. If they get any they only get a few bottles. They put them behind the register and you’re only allowed to buy one. I’ve managed to get a couple.

Buffalo Trace has been hard to come by. But not as hard as some others. I have not seen a bottle of Blantons for sale in 2 years. Weller, a couple others.
I live in the middle of bourbon country. You’d think prices would be cheaper. There are a few only sold here. My all time favorite was Henry McKenna 10. Used to buy it for $38, now is $125. I haven’t seen Blanton's either. Weller is here for a second mortgage. I’ll keep buying Wild Turkey 101 for $35.
 
Just finished bottling 2 batches and relaxing while my washed gear is drying.

Had to try the hydro sample of the Mott's juice hard cider. It finished fairly dry, at 1.000. I pitched S-04; otherwise, with wine yeast, it goes into the .990s.

Then popped open a crowler of Austrian holiday lager from Forgotten Star.

Jülbock- this year's Christmas HB, a doppelbock inhabiting the lighter end of the spectrum in both colour and richness.

Word of advice- don't brew an 8% Bock in mid November and expect it to be ready for Christmas. 'cos it will probably be a boozy mess.

As of today this has just lost the alcohol bite and become very enjoyable but I'm sure it'll be even better in March.
