Long Trail Imperial Pumpkin. A bit early in the season yet, but damn do I love me some pumpkin beer. Also, I don't usually drink Long Trail, but I trusted my gut on this one and wasn't disappointed.
Home for lunch from work. Had Flying Dog Raging Bitch, Sixpoint Bengali Tiger, Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA, and Green Flash West Coast IPA... I think I'll take the rest of the day off.
Tonight I'm drinking a New Glarus Laughing Fox. We were a stone's throw from Wisconsin this weekend so of course we hopped the border on a beer run. Laid in a supply of Fat Squirrel and Spotted Cow too.
Has some sam Adams octoberfest with dinner, a glassof.angels envy.bourbon to wash it down, now coors light and some green flash le freak when i get home.
Brewdog Hardcore IPA, Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Imperial Red, Thor-Bock.
Had an Alaskan Birch Bock and Barleywine yesterday, and inspired me to pull out one of my own.
No wait...it's Firestone Walker Double DBA time! Limited edition, apparently. The self important folks at FW say this will be killer. Well, it better be given the price of admission. This beer is packaged in a cardboard box, so you know it's good!
Also known as their Imperial barrel aged ESB (12%). I wanted to hate this beer at $16 plus tax per bomber, but is was excellent. It's one of the best beers I've ever had. I wasn't impressed after the first gulp. I was like, that gulp just cost me 75 cents and I wasn't blown away, this beer sucks.
However, after a few swigs and sniffs it hit me. Holy crap, this is a barrel aged 12% ESB and it's basically perfect in every way. Extra bonus points for having a toasted coconut note and a hint of funk from the barrel.
I want to brew 55 gallons of this tomorrow. Who has a clone recipe?
