What Beer Did You Drink Today (2017)

[bfreebern]

Had this beer last night, it was my first Modern Times stout. I could definitely taste the Orange peel, hazelnut and cocoa. The barrel added some great characteristics to it as well.

The orange peel/cocoa, made me think back to having one of those 65% dark chocolate candy bars, with orange. That's how this beer drank, as it warmed. It was a great change of pace, just not sure I'd reach for/trade for this one again.

I drink IPAs almost exclusively, but this one is a bit bitter, even for me. Goes good with lunch.

Super drinkable ale, really refreshing for this summer night. Thanks Santa!

Just think Belgian Ale that finishes like you took a shot of liquor. I figured it would have that rum/molasses finish, but it was just heavy alcohol at the end.

Took off work today and spent it with the kids. Pool beer for today, great as usual.

I still keep an eye open with you in mind. My local shop has BBB on the shelves however I have not located the other variants of it. I'm assuming those will be out until next time they are released. Let me know if you want me to pickup a few bottles of BBB for you.

'15 Avery Rumpkin. It's funny how tastes change over time. Years ago this beer blew me away and I had to find any and every bottle I could get my hands on. Now, while I still enjoy it, I wish the overwhelming brown sugar/molasses sweetness wouldn't blow out all the rest of the nuances going on. Perhaps I need to drink them sooner instead of holding on to them for years.

I enjoy the regular BBB as well and traded for a few. I could says use more, so I'll let you know. If you do find the variants, let me know. I'd love to have those as well.

Did you mix it with the Crisco?

Was gonna buy some "Thick Mint" beer. 25$ for 4 bottles. Little much I think.

Picked up a couple Sip of Sunshine cans while in Maine a couple weeks ago. Cracked one last night. Based on what I've heard I was expecting mind blowing, but it was just very good.

It is very good. I've found that 95% of the time I go into a beer, hearing it's "mind blowing", I'm let down. Same with cigars. I loved Heady Topper, but it's one that I don't find "mind blowing" either.

I'd rather have beers that I know are worth my time/money, then searching out HTF beers, to only be let down.

Spot on, my brother.

Beers that are mind blowing are very few and far between. Most tend to be in the okay to good range for me.

Thanks Nfulton! I think you sent me this beer about four years ago....

Interesting with the flavors that the Highland Park 18 YO barrels imparted to this dark beer. Not as viscous as
The attached phamplet suggest, but it's definitely a flavorful and complex beer for sure. No head, or little carbonation was observed, but didn't seem to be flat either.

Weissbrau Schwendl Schalchner Don 4 Silent Night courtesy of my buddy. I don't honestly know where the brewery's name ends and the beer's name begins.
