I had Yeti Imperial Stout last night.
In my haste to drink it, I didn't let it cool long enough so by the end it was warm. The cold parts were delicious though. I do think the Chocolate flavored one had more umph, flavor wise but this had "the bite". "The bite" is best tasted on Avery's Mephistopheles Stout but was present here in a slightly more muted manner. Overall, I'd definitely get another one. Hopefully fully chilled next time. |

I tend to start my beers off chilled and let them warm up to room temp or thereabouts as I'm drinking. Tasting and smelling how the beer changes, how new aromas and flavors open up and old ones get altered, with temperature is so cool that it never gets old. |
Saturdays in Tuscaloosa are my homebrewing days. When those fall on a 'Bama home game the day gets to be pretty insane. Here's what I drank yesterday:
homebrew ginger saison homebrew pumpkin ale Short's Black Cherry Porter Three Floyds Robert the Bruce Boulevard [Smokestack Series] 21st Anniversary Fresh Hop Pale Ale 2009 Cantillon Classic Guezue 2007 De Struise Pannepot homebrew Pliny the Elder-clone, aka "Hoppier Arenas" (named after Javier Arenas) |

I continue to be addicted to Tank 7. I need to branch out and try some other Smokestacks. |

Just had an Oskar Blues Tenfidy. Good but I like Old Rasputin and Yeti better. |
My wife is pissed at me for getting back into good beer. She absolutely LOVES beer, but she hates the calories. Drinks wine instead. When I was drinking swill all the time, she didn't really miss the beer. Now that I'm pulling out Tank 7s and Saison Duponts and shit once a week, she's bitching up a storm and sneaking a glass here and there.

I've often wondered myself since I gravitate to Imperials. |

Just got back from the release of Dissident at the Deschutes brewery. Had an elk burker and a glass of it for lunch, not as sour as the last batch a couple years ago but It will get more so as it ages. I liked it and recommend it. I got 6 to put in my cellar and will probably get a bit more.
Abyss comes out the end of November, love the abyss. http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/brew...s/default.aspx |
