What beer are you drinking? Winter 13/14

[Yeti]

There's some seriously mouth watering stuff on the last few pages. I got some Nugget Nectar this weekend, but otherwise it's just been Torpedoes and Ruthless Ryes.

[P&MLiquorsEric]

Enjoyed an ATG Bo & Luke next to the fire.

Which was smokier?

[Old Dusty]

Green Flash Palate Wrecker double IPA.

[Anex]

On Sunday we tried these two, and then finished with Southern Tiere Creme Brulee after dinner.

I don't drink a lot of beer anymore, but I always love a good barrel aged stout. Or really any stout.

Both of the Prairies were excellent on their own. But for the final few ounces, I blended the two together...it was just awesome. French vanilla coffee

Somehow I accidentally put back a DFH Robert Johnson's Hellhound On My Ale. I think it's the original release from 2011? Ha, this should be interesting.

Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier. Getting back to an old favorite.

Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree. The entry is very low keyed but look out. Flavor develop and stay in your mouth longer than any beer I can remember. What a great finish.

Also at 12%, his one sneaks up on you.

Not cheap but I'd like to get another 4 pack tomorrow.

[MyOldKyDram]

Expensive yes, but that DCT is a really great beer.

[Ravensfire]

Stopped by my local stress-reliever and had a Santa Fe Irish Red and. Norrh Peak Dubious. Both solid but the Dubious had more potential but there was almost no finish. A bit disappointed. Took an Avery Uncle Jacob and an Old Rasputin barrel-aged home with me for the weekend.

Also had a sample of Stone's new Go To IPA. Sessionable IPA at 4.5%. Disappointed in it. It does not fit the normal Stone profile. It's almost fruity in taste and not much body. Would suggest sampling before buying especiallly if you really like Stone.

Double Crooked Tree tonight and it's hitting the spot but the price is getting just north of ignorant!

[P&MLiquorsEric]

Great Lakes chillwave double iPa. A world class beer. Can't believe this one isn't getting more press.

Great Lakes does it differently than most breweries their size. Outside of the BBN barrel blackout stout, they send out large quantities of every offering to the entire footprint.

[MyOldKyDram]

Yeah, I saw where it hit Lex. Need to go and grab some.

Hop Centric, an Imperial/Double IPA from Two Brothers Brewing Co. in suburban Chicagoland. 101.1 UBU's without managing to be cloying or one dimensional. Nice malty backbone too!

Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier. Getting back to an old favorite.

A beauty but too early in the year for me. When the snow melts away and the sun warms the earth again (if it ever does), I'm on it! That's a great quality Hefe for a hot summer afternoon and one I look forward to.

A 2013 Dogfish Head Worldwide Stout. I'm not sure about the ABV on this one (Guessing 18% ish?), but it is surprisingly smooth and drinkable. Lots of amazing chocolate and roasty malt, balanced out with decent carbonation and a nip of hoppy bite. Zero fusel/alcohol "off" tang at the end, like I've experienced with the 120 IPA in the past. I'll be putting 2-3 of these away for sure.

[Old Dusty]

There seems to be disturbing lack of bottle porn on this thread. So here is today's selection from Indiana's own 3Floyds.

[MyOldKyDram]

I approve. Good porn that!

[MyOldKyDram]

First Chillwave of the season. Orange cream candy and sweat. I mean this in a good way.

[KySalesRep]

A local store had Hopslam on tap, brought some home to drink while watching some games on TV. Great beer!

[Yeti]

Had some friends from out of town visit last night and we did our best to catch up. FFF Moloko and Razorhoof, GL Chillwave, the new SN 4-way IPA box, and some random Mexican beer.

[Yeti]

Closing the night out with a Mikkeller Big Worster 17.3% barley wine. This pours, smells, and drinks lighter than you'd ever imagine. Hot damn is it good.

[KySalesRep]

Having some more Hopslam today, still good! I may have to try one of those Chillwave that I keep hearing about...

[Dannabis]

I like a lot of beer styles but this has been my fancy for the moment:

Carton Brewing, Atlantic Highlands, Swisher cherry smoked porter - smoked malts, hints of cherry, focusedly bitter but not excessive, nose of smoke, oak, earthiness, tangy finish.

6.0 ABV

420 IBUs (surprisingly not overwhelming)
