Beer of the Day - BOTD - 2020

[Black Adder]

A bad case of afternoon boredom had me wandering the aisles of Total Wine. A lot of Untitled Art; much to my mystification. I was beginning to feel a little dejected, when I saw this:

Described as a dessert beer, it's a stout with raspberry and chocolate. I was a little reluctant to purchase this; was expecting an overly artificial flavor profile, like a chocolate covered cherry. Ink black on the pour, I was surprised at how much I liked it! Kind of sweet, I don't think it's for everyone, but if you're a fan of Founder's, give it a shot.

Xocoveza is on the shelves again, Rick.

I’ll be looking! Never did find it last year.

Second "go around" with this one...

Absolutely decadent!

Founder’s Barrel Runner DIPA. Barrel aging smooths the harsh edges. 11.1%. Very good.

Last night I also sampled Bière from Jolly pumpkin artisan ales. It is a farmhouse/Saison, but a little too much tang for my liking.

Glad to be home with my kegerator. Enjoying a Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA.

Love the photo. My wife’s birthday is December 5th. It is also the birthday of the late King of Thailand. We usually celebrate her birthday, the King’s birthday, and the end of prohibition by drinking beer at a Thai restaurant.

It was a sad weekend, as the tasty Octoberfest keg was emptied. Time to start looking for my favorite stouts and porters!

Here's one for you to consider...

A variant of the KBS series, my almost pathological obsession with anything chocolate drew me to this. In my opinion, the best I've had from Founder's barrel aged stout stuff. Rich chocolate notes with a nice maple lead ( I usually don't like anything maple!). A warning: pricey! Almost $7 a bottle. Leaves a nice, warming sensation in your chest. I'm getting more.

A coworker of mine is retiring tomorrow. I put together this "pick six." I think his plans are to move to Mexico; I'll give him this as a send off and a warning to not take a part time job as a mule for any cartels....

Guys, if you like Founder's, check out their latest stuff, I'm serious.

Picked up a growler of this from my favorite local (Cellador), called Gourde Fumee. It’s a bourbon barrel-aged dark sour made with smoked kabocha squashes, really interesting stuff!

I’ll retire tomorrow too if you send that to me

Llama Mama Milk Stout from Darwin Brewing (Bradenton, FL). Decent.

An afternoon of gathering this:

20 bags of tightly packed, mulched leaves, deserves this:

I knew you fellows would understand; not so the wife...
Psssst... try that Maple Mackinac Fudge from Founder's.

Nice! I pitchforked and wheelbarrowed mulch for that Lagunitas!

I like your beverage better!

 

[Black Adder]

I'm impressed by the size of the mulch pile! Thanks for the peek of the burrowing owl.

I guess I didn't mention that I had a bunch of help...
