What Are You Drinking Tonight?

[lxskllr]

Chilly and wet today, so a good time for something smokey. Started off warm, so I let my fire burn out. 56° at the thermostat currently. I'll let it drop to ~52° before I get the fire going again. Supposed to be cold tonight and tomorrow.

180 calories a pop… that adds up quick. God bless Gin and Tequila.

Been visiting with a bunch of old friends the past few weeks, and I shared these with them.

This one needs it's own post. Specialty brew checking in at 18.2%. Surprisingly tasty and not even in the realm of barley wine:

Tonight's quaff. I agree wholeheartedly with the name...

Back to keto tomorrow morning, but for now some pinot noir from 19 Crimes and a bowl of Hershey kisses, nice pairing. Life is good.

I used to sample a lot of Saranac's brews when the local store used to carry it. Sipping on Bulleit bourbon my neighbor-hay customer gave me for Christmas.

Had an old classic w/dinner last night:

Sam Smith makes great beer. One of my top favorites for sure. When I want something nice, it's on the short list.

A little bit of this is on the menu tonight.

One for @BeerGeek a friend didn't like this so he gave me 3 cans, some friend huh? Lol.
Not my kind of Porter but I won't throw it away.

 

[lxskllr]

That beer sounds interesting. How is it?

 

[stikine]

It's okay but coconut in Porter is a bit odd to me.

 

[lxskllr]

Definitely odd, but I can see how it would work.

 

[BeerGeek]

I'm not a coconut fan, but I'd definitely give it a try. I've got a friend who's in love w/coconut, and wishes he could find a beer flavored as such (all he's tried so far came up short). Austin, did the coconut flavor stand out? And did it still maintain a traditional porter taste, or did it lean more towards chocolate/coffee styled porters?

 

[stikine]

It definitely has a coconut flavor and is more on the traditional Porter taste style. As a general rule I like coconut but I prefer a straight up traditional Porter.

 

[stikine]

Brian, I am changing my assessment a bit after having another one. There is a chocolate overtone for sure.

 

[stikine]

First time trying this... it's really good. Imperial oatmeal stout.

Wonderful drink there!
There’s a stout cask one too, and I very much prefer the IPA cask. Which is odd, because if I’m drinking beer, I LOVE stouts, and think IPAs taste and smell like the rear end of a menstruating skunk.

Pinot noir for me this evening, Yellow tail from Australia. Not very good. I should’ve spent the extra 3$ for Apothic vineyard.

 

[stikine]

I like the IPA version as well.

Having a Troegenator from Tröegs Brewing in PA; Very tasty 8.2 doppelbock. I've posted the pic b4, and the phone is already charging.

Enjoying this with dessert tonight. From Three 3's Brewing in the unofficial blueberry capital of the blueberry contingency in this state (Hammonton). We usually go picking down that area every summer. This is a very over-the-top coffee porter, but still so tasty. (6.0% ABV):

 

[stikine]

Hammonton, been awhile since I went through there. My folks lived in Medford Lakes.

I'm going to open this shortly.

 

[Treeaddict]

I’m on my 3rd one!!

That's rookie numbers
