Starting the night with this. Damn good beer.

I tried something based on that and ended up with crap. Added some ECY02, waited 6 months and ended up with awesome. Bottled it, went back to crap. 4 months later, it's finally headed towards awesome again.:D

Yeah, you still have a MAW thank you package headed your way. I procrastinate, luckily for you, the beers I will send will benefit from said procrastination.
Drank (drunken?) young, the beer is just slightly weird. This is the first time I have had it that the Brett is killing it. In the Brett-iest way possible.
 
Unloading the haul from the sale at Whole Foods. Case discount compounded the savings!

Hopefully the case discount makes up for the alchopop lambics. If you're new to the style, don't write it off based on those two.

Jester King RU55 and Green Man Snozberry then a Blatherskite, and then a hidden pipe Coffee porter. Now tacos and then who knows. Yeah.

Where you gettin fancy at tonight?

Glad I got to try this. It's pretty good

How's home feeling?
 
Gravity sample of my Roggenbier. Had some scorching with the heat sticks (I still don't know how, I've never had that happen before, and no issue with the next batch after it...), hoped it wouldn't be too noticeable (or I could at least pass it off as smoked), but the burnt flavor and aroma is pretty front and center and harsh and unpleasant. I'll see what happens after sitting, but that flavor probably ain't getting better, and I might dump the batch.
 
Bells Two Hearted. I'm pretty happy considering I expected this bar to just have Bud Light.

I need to get my hands on one that old. The '12 was still pretty good, but I'd love to see what it's like with that much age on it.


Sent from your liver, please give me the night off!

His stuff is all over the place batch to batch. If I get over to NC again and can find more old ones than I want to hoard, I'll let you know. I've got a 6 pack of '12s. I tried one fresh and bought more hoping they come around. Could be a different batch than what you tried, these are one the phenolic/side. I hope I find another Stille Nacht honey hole. I've found a few 05 and one 07 in the last couple years that were some of the best beers I've ever had.
 
Just watched The Shining with SWMBO and kids...forget how many times the F-bomb got dropped along with several other bleep-worthy words. Oops! Now they're all off to have nightmares while I start drinking! I think I'm going to start with a 22 oz HB that I call Big Dark Stout...genius...I know. Anyway, this was put together with some malt and grain that was a little old, but was given to me for free; so I decided, "What the hell...worst case is second tier beer." Last time I tasted this one, it was kind of sour/tangy...not what I was looking for in a stout. This time, head looks good, aroma is kind of "meh", flavor isn't really sour anymore...better. A couple more months and it could go from "meh" to "hmmm".

I'm happy to be home, but I'll miss sleeping all night.

Trying to decide whether to go to bed or not. I hear screaming up there...

I've got some advice. It starts with a V.























& ends with an asectomy.

i'm in Cary...near Raleigh. Sounds like something worth seeking out. I'll have to investigate...maybe I can help some brothers out ;o) Is this stuff outrageously expensive?
 
I guess Ill give this one a whirl. In a stout mood. Maybe its the freezing rain. But this is a stellar beer

Sure thing, let me know if you do.

That depends on your idea of outrageous. This bottle was $4, which is what it cost 5 years ago. Generally in the $5.50+ range these days.
