What are you drinking now?

[1fast636]

Let's see started with heady and ending with my session black/brown ipa fermented with Conan, light night tonight to much to do tomorrow

 

[1fast636]

Thought I would compare my Time Dilation Dopplebock with one of my favorite commercial examples. Wasn't going for a clone, just wanted to see how they compare. Notable differences:

-Celebrator is noticeably darker
-Celebrator's head only a very slightly darker shade of tan
-Celebrator is a little maltier, I assume due the use of a traditional decoction while mine was simply a single step infusion mash.
-Time Dilation has a more pronounced dark fruit character, raisin in particular.
-Celebrator is 6.7% while Time Dilation is 8.1%

Despite their differences they are remarkably similar. Nice full body, very malty and full of big dark fruit flavors. If I didn't know which was which I'd be hard pressed to positively ID them. I officially consider my first dopplebock a success!

Nuke your table is the **** man

Those are out of season. Fail!

Don't hit the cellar too hard. Save some for tomorrow.

Still tastey.

I got plenty. I won't run out.


First on the cellar Friday

Is your plan to drink a whole growler of Ghandi? Not that I am criticizing in any way....I'd love to be able to try some but alas I live on the wrong side of the continent and pretty much never get up to that area even when I go to the east coast.

Yes. I've done it plenty of times. It's like drinking water.

8.8% ABV water....

I simply do not have that kind of alcohol tolerance.

I don't have a utility belt, but this is pretty much what I do when I'm judging at a competition. People like Gordon Strong can get pretty much everything they want to write out of a single taste, but I have to focus on the individual characteristics (aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, etc.) one at a time if I'm going to give useful feedback.

That's fine, and perfectly appropriate when judging at a comp but these guys behaving like this at a bar/ brew pub/ tasting room or festival are lucky not to get bitch slapped

No arguments here. If anyone sees me doing crap like that IRL please, bitch slap me. Although again I admit I really love to sniff my beer when I drink it. They just smell so good!

 

[nukebrewer]

Did you lager it by putting it on a spaceship traveling near the speed of light?


Also, if you dig around I believe Jamil Z did some kind of experiment back in the day of comparing decoction vs melanoiden malt in the grain bill. The "malt" character that I think a lot of people perceive in the commercial doppelbocks and oktoberfests comes down to melanoiden (or a lack thereof).

Haha, that would be the coolest way to lager a beer ever. But in reality it's just a reference to the way your perception of time is distorted when you're drunk.

Nuke your table is the **** man

Thanks. My ex-wife made it for me for Christmas last year.

Still tastey.

I'm sure they were. Raw is the only way to eat oysters. Cooking just ruins them.

DC Brau Penn Quarter Porter. Very nice. Best one I've had from them thus far.

 

[CliffMongoloid]

Rangers!

 

[Qhrumphf]

Haven't had this in a good while. Forgot how good it was.

 

[mattmmille]

Well, after several brews at Fortnight Brewery, where it was a toss-up between another brewery's Bombshell IPA and Fortnight's ESB, I return home with some beers from the HBS to try. I was excited to buy my first can of Ten Fidy from Oskar Blues for more than anyone should pay for a single can of beer and...I'm kind of disappointed. Is it supposed to be really sweet? Either I got a bad can or IMO, it ain't what it's cracked up to be. Very sweet and malty...no character, no bitter, no hops...I was barely able to finish it by pairing it with some slightly burned popcorn...which actually helped it.

Agreed 100%. It's *********gish.

You're drunk or I'm drunk. Or both. I'll figure it out tomorrow. Goodnight.
