That looks good. How would you say it compares to Guinness? Mind PM-ing me the recipe?

Definitely more roasty and lacking the twang but it's smooth. It's one of the better ones I've brewed. Sure thing on PMing the recipe.

This seems like the first beer I’ve seen marketed against Celebration. It’s good, but much less bitter and more dry hopped than Celebration. I’ll take them both if anyone is asking.

A little Irish before bed.
I scored a bottle of Jameson at a gift exchange the other night that I’ll have to crack sometime too. I really should get some proper glassware. A triple shot plus 8 oz of mixer fit well in the solo cups though.

just got home from a stout tasting night with about 6 friends (3 pairs of couples). Every couple brought 2-3 cans/bottles/bombers for tasting. All were really good in their own right but always hard keeping a clean palate throughout. My favs were the millionaires stout (casita brewing) and Curtains II (the veil) which all had the best balance between barrel aged bourbon and the grain and/or adjunct flavors. Biggest surprise was the 5yr old Black Ops which was still very lively and rich with flavor.
The Answer: Dark Room (9.5%)
Two Blokes (Mt Pleasant, SC) - Putin the Terrible (9.5%) very nice RIS with an English style edge.
Two Surley's Darkness: one non BBA (2016) and one BBA (2017) - 12% each. Great mouthfeel on both but the BBA took away more than Id like from the cocoa/coffee notes I got from the non BBA one. Both very good though.
Brooklyn Black Ops - 2016. This one was better than expected as Ive had 3yr old ones before. Still very lively and not even close to "washed out" . Great rich flavor.
Casita Brewing: Millionaire's Stout: 12.5%, 1yr in Irish whiskey barrels and conditioned with hazelnuts, coffee, and vanilla beans. Great Balance, nice rich thick mouthfeel but not by any means a sweet pastry style.
Burial: (read label for the long obnoxious name lol): 15% with pecans, cocoa nibs, and vanilla beans. VERY thick and rich more in line with pastry style. Great with desert cookies but glad I just had a small tasting. Booze was minimal which was a shocker given the abv.
Dogfish Heat World wide stout - 16% - oak aged with vanilla. Definitely the booziest of the bunch. Its 2019 and definitely could use another 3-5 years to mellow. Good, but not the favorite of the bunch.
The Veil: Curtains II, 11%, collar with Hudson Valley. Lots of additional stuff: Pineapple puree, candied pineapple, coconut cream, flaked coconut, vanilla bean and honey. BBA (Buffalo Trace). This was one of my favs and I HATE COCONUT, but this had so much going on that I couldn't even detect it much at all and others couldn't either. Definitely thick (not too thick) and pineapple/honey/Bourbon dominated. It totally worked!

But you can brew it again!
And I will! Just not for awhile again because I have waaaay too many other recipes and ingredients to use first. But I made this batch with Voss and my next order will definitely having a packet or two included for summer

Here's a family portrait of the Panther Piss series of adjunct lagers that I've been working on for a couple of years. On the right is Panther Piss Classic (6-row and pils). In the middle is Panther Piss Gold (6-row and Vienna). On the left is Panther Piss Dark, 6-row, Munich, and Vienna.
It's fun to see them all together--even if I had to break out two glasses to show them off

Nice line up!
Thank you! I was hoping to get them in day light, but I'm done for the year as of this evening and, well, I'm thirsty.

Unexpected spinal surgery on one of our pooches has wrecked our Christmas plans. Fortunately, she should be ok but a long recovery. So, instead of traveling I’m having a beer or two tonight.
