Beer of the Day - BOTD - 2019

[Black Adder]

I've waited, impatiently but mostly hopefully, for New Glarus to return this seasonal release to market...

Technically, I think Cabin Fever is a helles or Maibock lager. Crisp, fresh and clean up front, with a solid malt body combined with a lingering honey finish. In bottles or cans, an amazing drink. Stocked up pretty good on this one.

Up in Anchorage, this Cherry Grand Cru is obscenely good.

Looks nice. Reminds me of why I use a glass so often; appearance of the beer is part of the fun!

I was waffling tonight; do I finish my last Xocoveza for Rick, or choose something else?.....

This is actually an old standby, part of my introduction to craft beers. I can see where people consider it a little too sweet, but you have to return to your roots every once in a while. When I get the 'ole stinkeye from the wife, I tell her it's organic... it's gotta be good for me! I'm thinking of blending it with Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout to cut the sweetness.

Haven’t had one of those in a little while, but Organic Chocolate Stout is fine by me! I admit I avoided it initially, thinking it would be too sweet, but I really enjoyed it, and we had some in the beer fridge for quite awhile.

Passed on anything from Boulevard (KC) for this game.

I had one of these this weekend too! It is sweet, not a daily drinker but its enjoyable for the end of the night.

I don't usually drink weissbier in winter. But my local wine/beer store was going out of business.

Bready yeasty nose. Sweet malty taste. Rather low carbonation. One of my favorites when I don't want hops.

Doppelbock from Bent Paddle, Duluth MN.

Described as "a meal in a glass" by the folks at Bent Paddle... a bit of a stretch... but its rich, malty goodness is undeniable. A nice one.

Creature Comforts double Koko Buni on draft
Minimal head. Dark with reddish tone. Low carbonation. Roasted malt on the nose. Very thick mouth feel. Smooth. Sweet. Dark chocolate. Vanilla. Hint of coconut. Long lasting bitternes.

Yummy.

3 Sheeps Cashmere Hammer nitro rye stout. I haven't had one for years; I remember liking it better back then. Now I get a bitterness I don't really care for. It gets pretty high ratings on Rate Beer.

Last evening: Founder's Porter

On the right is Bubblin’ Crude, a Russian Imperial Stout, which is pretty tasty.

"Bubblin' Crude" -- LOL -- is that the perfect name for an Imperial Stout!? (The only negative is that now I can't get the Beverly Hillbillies Theme out of my head.)

I thought so! Haven't seen a stout with a similar name, either!

A wonderful beer week. On Thursday, had Hopslam on draft. On Friday, bought a whole six-pack.
Try to find this double IPA if at all possible. To my taste, it's even better that 2018. Just a touch of bitterness. Beautifully aromatic, citrucy, herbaly on the nose. Huge cloud for a head. Moderate carbonation. Wild honey aftertaste that last for eternity.

Curmudgeon’s Better Half by Founders. Barrell aged and delicious. 12.7%. Lookout!

 

[FL shaver]

Didn’t know it came in cans until I saw it here. Glad to have found it last evening. One per winter keeps it new and exciting! Found Organic Chocolate Stout, too.

Well, I've gotta admit, you pick up something different every time you try it! I just overstocked on the stuff. There was a bit of a localized frenzy over it a couple of winters ago and I got caught up in it.

Hopslam. It is a fantastic edition!
