Ravensfire Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It got cold tonight, so my wife and I split a 2014 2nd Shift LSD (liquid spiritual delight) imperial stout for dinner and a 2013 Perennial BA Abraxas. Almost cried when she asked if we could open the Abraxas but it was a good night for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpiz Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Avery Rumpkin, which is about the best damn dessert beer I could ask for. I bet this would be incredible after a couple more years aging, though I'd be afraid the pumpkin would continue to fade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet this would be incredible after a couple more years aging, though I'd be afraid the pumpkin would continue to fade.Might be surprised. Recently had a SBS of Southern Tier Pumking from the current year against one from 2 years ago and I liked the older one better. Most of the time the flavor is more spice associated with pumpkin and pumpkin pie than it is pumpkin (which is kind of bland anyway) and that didn't seem to fade that much.

Vosgar Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Another new one for me.....Alesmith IPA. A very good IPA that to me is well balanced, doesn't go over the top in any area and has some good citrus and pine flavors to it Edited November 17, 2014 by Vosgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbanzobean Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Having my first go at a 2014 Southern Tier Warlock. I think this one has a bit less pumpkin influence than last year's, but I don't have one on hand to be sure. Either way, a nice delicious beer to enjoy while I'm doing some prep work for Thanksgiving. So far I've got my turkey bagged up for a dry brine (apparently dry rub is only for BBQ), and have the fill level for my deep fryer measured for the behemoth of a bronze breasted turkey my farm gave me (24.6lbs instead of the requested 14-16 lbs). I'm using the heart, gizzard, comparatively enormous tail (it's the size of a meaty bone in chicken breast), and neck to make a stock. I was going to go ahead and make gravy from it tonight, but it's getting late so I'll probably just stop at this stage and pick back up on Thursday.

amg Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I was fortunate enough to get a couple bottles of Zombie Dust at non-gouging prices, so I'm enjoying one after cleaning the gutters. Always a nice treat (the beer, not the gutter cleaning). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPPSmoker Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I went bananas drinking and buying beer yesterday. I drove two buddies to OddSide Ales. They were releasing two different bourbon barrel aged stouts. One of them was the usual imperial stout but the other was an imperial stout with bacon, coffee and maple syrup. The maple syrup really enhanced the chocolate notes. It was pretty damn good. Then we went to Perrin's Brewery. They had Malted Milk Ball porter on tap after being absent for several months. I consider this beer to be every bit as good as KBS. I also purchased an imperial stout and barleywine that they aged in Van Winkle Family Reserve barrels. We finished off our day at Founders. They had Pumpkinmudgeon on tap. I couldn't pass on it because I may never see it again. I wish I had passed. It was their Old Curmudgeon Ale (which I love) aged in bourbon barrels with pumpkin spices added. It was a sweet sticky mess. I like the pumpkin spices to be subtle but they dominated. It weighed in at 12.9% and kicked my ass to finish me off for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclebunk Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Two Brothers "Wobble IPA." Super judicious use of hops that give it a nice citrusy flavor without overdoing it. Worth seeking out for Chicagoland locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth seeking out for Chicagoland locals.I just passed on that one last night. I'll give it a go with your thumbs up.I got lucky last night and stumbled into some Goose Island Bourbon County Stout. I was chatting up the owner of a rougher area store, and when he casually mentioned how surprised he was they still had the BCBS, my jaw nearly hit the floor. I made sure to let my brother know about my easy purchase after he froze his ass off standing in line for hours to get it last Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
