Thank you Pianoman. That's all I needed.I think you just wrote the recipe. Imperial Amber using Trappist yeast (WY3787)...
Wife comes back tomorrow but moving VERY forward on beer related activities this last week. Here are a couple projects I did using spare materials for the most part. I can now temperature control 2 buckets in this small freezer. Built up an another mash tun with an old cooler also.
Couldn't resist a 7day sample of the IPA. Columbus and Hop blend Citiva in the boil/whirlpool. Then 3days after, cryo hop Citra/Mosaic and more Citiva during fermentation. Same will be kegged hop. Hope it stays this way. I've tasted this flavor in so many modern IPAs. Recognized it immediately. Orange juice like. Nice bitterness. Since I've always struggled with IPAs, enjoying while it lasts.

The last 2 are pretty good.
This one is great. More my style too…a Czech Pilsner
Very local… brewed here in Wilmington, NC.
A very good Schwarzbier from Wilmington.
Forced to drink from the can since the beach condo my brother in law rented doesn’t have squat for glassware and I’m at the pool too.

Grocery store refunded me since they gave me the wrong DFH. Now that they're free, they're pretty darn....humm, who am I kidding, these are still bad.

Kicking back with some HB Blonde for a few minutes between yard chores.
Tropical Lightning IPA from Wilmington Brewing Co. at the Shuckin’ Shack in Carolina Beach.
HB pale ale
If this is what you're looking for, Brewer's Friend has a clone recipe. Look for Grimbergen Dubbel-ambree clone. I can't say how good it is. I have an extract recipe I've made that compared well in side by side tasting.

Enjoying a glass of the Falconer’s Flight contemporary APA/ 90’s IPA.
Lol! I was in a Q4 planning meeting today and I saw your post, sighed and thought, "Damn, it really is getting late in the year."
Yes, I'm an idiot.

Dude I worked with bought 5 cases of that ever year. That's the only beer he bought and drank at home. 5 cases to last until the next season....
Edit: I need to finish that story. Several years back I brewed my first Okoberfest. It was a $hit$show at the end. My dogs broke off a spigot and I ended up spending an hour working with that and forgetting about the wort. I turned it off but it stayed hot the whole time, thought it was ruined. Went though the lagering phase and so on. After a couple months realized it was damn good. About 7%. Knowing this dude was a big Oktoberfest dude, gave him a 6-pk. He said it was the best he'd ever had. No joke, he said. It was pretty good. I tried to repeat that process a couple times but just never came out as good. Guess I'll forgo another spigot next time..

I don’t know if you’ve ever been, but if you ever want some good breakfast while you’re in the area you gotta hit up Kate’s. We discovered it while we were over there in March.
Wife came home with this, I'm not complaining.
Short pour of Irish Red
Charlotte, NC brown ale
Hb snpa, it's a small glass, 8oz pour.

Couple of local brews during this week of crazy orders for regular clients and absolutely stupid fly-fishing customers. 
( Yes, you need to pay for a new rod section, no, running over the rod isn't covered under our Manufacturer's Warranty...)
Anyhoo, I think my taste/smell is coming back! I get the 'dustiness' of the Galaxy hops in the Space Wolf, and definitely the orange in the Tangerine Speedo.
Space Wolf by New Level Brewing. Great colour, with the Galaxy hit, at 7.6% abv. Smooth and crushable.
Tangerine Speedo from Vaycay Brew Co. It's definitely a tropical 5.8% NEIPA, and definitely tangerine. Love it! Cheers everyone!

Hey thanks. Yup that's it alright. Something about it that just clicks with me.
I recently visited Bells Brewery/ Gift/ Tap house in Kalamazoo Mi. They busted out cases of Black is Beautiful. Was a type of Lager but poured and tasted clean like an ale. Very tasty indeed! However, the brew was only sold locally on a limited basis. On tap it was obviously delicious. I couldn't even find it in Deerborne Mi which is a few hours away. Right place right time I guess. To me Everything Bells makes is good! He recently opened another brewery called Upper Hand Brewery in Escanaba Mi. Located in Upper Peninsula and make an Escanaba Black that's awesome. Then Mr Larry Bell basically handed over the brewery to the people who had the idea for the brewery in the first place. He said, you worked for it...Its yours. I heard he's getting out of the business but don't know where the main brewery will finally rest. Anyway, there's your Bells news.
This message didn't go where it was supposed to go..,sorry.
I had 3 of those while playing horse shoes with friends! Love it!
