The last of the Mott's hard cider that I bottled in Feb '22. Still tastes crisp after nearly 2 years.
I have a new batch that's just about fully bottle-conditioned.

HB saffron milk tea. Never had this before but I was recently given a bit of saffron and recommended to make tea.
HB gose tester. Coriander and salt levels are good, needs more time to carb.
“Black Hole Sun” American Stout at Gem State Brewing. Really good!

HB blackberry stout with a few drops of blackberry kush terps. Subtle improvement.
Three Weavers Brewing Company produces this 9.2% ABV masterpiece “Gigaton” in Inglewood, California. This tasty Double IPA (heck, nearly a Triple) uses 2-row barley, wheat, trusty US-05 yeast, El Dorado and Chinook hops.
This is an incredible IPA, it’s very drinkable at the 9.2% booze, no “light beer diluting mixer” needed here!
Fantastic head no doubt helped by the wheat, superb lacing, Gigaton’s a winner! Enjoy!

HB Amber Ale.
Imperial ale. Full body, malty, a touch of sweet, caramel, subtle tobacco, stone fruit, some hop bitterness on the back. Lots going on and I like it a lot. 9.4% abv, brewed in Huntsville, AL.

I considered doing it but I'm glad you posted that. TH seems very cool.
It's a random pick and critique. Should be interesting.
I like the critique of the 60 year old non pasteurized Natty Lite.

Sam Adams for the Celtics game! It’s close, great game!
This is St. Bernardus Christmas Ale, from a year ago.
When I tried it last year, it seemed to have way too much funk to it, and the head seemed coarse. I basically liked it, but I was not eager to finish the 4-pack.
Tonight I pulled one out, and I didn't taste much of the funk at all. More of the fruitcake flavors came out. And the head seemed nice and fine.
Does sitting in a refrigerator for very long times improve beers? I guess it does. It has improved beers I made.
I wonder if it's a mistake to judge this beer by a fresh bottle.

I keep a solid collection of StB in my cellar.
I always find it on sale too. Picked up this magnum during the holidays because no one was buying it.
Gonna hide it and hopefully surprised in a bunch of years
Do you think aging it at fridge temps improves it? I really like it now.
Aging it out in the fridge is probably the best way. In reality it's aging slowly due to the cooler temp. So you have a slower change. Where sometimes my cellar gets to around 60° which causes it to age faster. I do find most things aged in my fridge are better. It's just my opinion. I also age Rasputin which is pasteurized but for some reason I taste a difference when aged.
StB has an interesting history with Westleveran. I've been lucky enough to be able to age some of them. There's a time period where the Westy gets a little hot. I've never had a StB that got hot which you kind of explained.
Now you got me wondering I should crack an old one for the NFL playoffs
I have often remarked on the Sierra Nevada Torpedo I left in my roasting-hot workshop for a year or so. I liked it better after the abuse. More caramel flavor, and not as harsh. Or so it seemed to me.
I have an Old Rasputin I have had for a few months. Maybe it's even better now.
BTW, SHOMER SHABBOS!!!!
If the mods delete that because of the religious content, it means THEY HAVE NO FRAME OF REFERENCE. They're like children who wander into the middle of a movie...

After running a two hour practice I decided to buy a cheap cabinet to install in the garage. This way I can move majority of my beer glasses out of the beer fridge and have more room for beer. Novel thought, huh?
Hb ESB
Nightcap. J B Pre-Prohibition style Rye. This is some seriously smooth stuff.
Deschutes, oh how I miss you!Still stuck on an icy hill in Oregon, but at least I’m climbing back into the saddle.

(Sorry, Rish, no red tool box, hope the red ceramic garlic box’ll do)
My first sniff of Obsidian in twenty years prompted an audible, “Oh, wow!” The first sip prompted me to say something I can’t share here.
They are a quality brewery that makes a product that doesn’t leave you feeling ripped off.
Left the cans out in the snow too long. Got a little beer slushie
