My Old Ales (10% ABV) take forever to carb, at least three months. Incidentally, it takes that long for mine to really taste good.
An IPA, same ABV, fully carbed in a week.

Thanks, yeah it was still pretty sweet, probly needs some time in the box.
 
I'm hate drinking this year's Holiday Beer. It's a variant of my standard West Coast Pale Ale, but I opted to use some of the newer fruity/tropical hops in lieu of the trusty old C-hops. In total, it has half-a-pound of Ahtanum, Azzaca, and Cashmere. Four of those ounces went in at 5min and flame out and the other four were split between two cold and fast dry hopping charges.

The result is an insipid, generically fruity, boring mess. It would be nice as a July beer, but it's not cutting it as a Holiday Beer.

I'm going to dump this pusillanimous swill and re-brew with Cascades, Citra, and Amarillo. That makes good beer.

I know everyone's palate is different; for me, that might be the ugliest beer I've ever seen.

My favorite Chappelle Show skits were "The Player Hater's Ball" and "The Time Haters." I love me some hate. I love me some serious hate.

What you've got there, that's some next level hate.
 
If you are from NC you prob have had this beer collab from Olde Hickory, Duck Rabbit, and Foothills. Each brew their own imperial stout prior to blending in barrels. This year is decent but it’s been better in the past IMO. Typically it’s more velvety smooth right out of the gate. But this is still good this year.
