emelius

ethiopian coffee...

1 375mL bottle of Mikkeller Barrel Aged Chipotle Porter (Texas Ranger)...kinda eager to drink it...the BA version isn't even rated yet...

Cheers...

TOØL Black Ball Porter...bought on suggestion by the store owner...normally, I don't do that, but the store was one of the highest rated in the world...stupid Chicago... anywho, it worked out...good, dry chocolate-y porter...worth it...

Stillwater A Saison Darkly...finally found one w/o having to trade...quite like it...a nice mix of ingredients...only time that I can recall having a Saison out of a 12oz bottle...inexpensive...

I had the Brandy Barrel last year & it was super hot...but good...could've just had Brandy, but was a beer event:)...

Flat12 Bierwerks Walkabout Pale...galaxy hops:)... Stone 15th Anniversary Escondidian...best thing they've done in a while as far as I'm concerned...I don't even like the style, but I like this...glad there's more floating around...

FFF BrooDoo... Happy Halloween...

ya, throw in a couple Blind Pigs...

coffee:)...

Dogfish Head 120 Minute...think that's it...everyone's passed out...was able to salvage some beer...

Upland Dantalion Wild Ale...not to shabby:)...

Short's/Three Floyd's/Dogfish Head Cornholio Baltic Porter...brewed with red popcorn & beach plums...don't worry about it...you will never have it...it's out there...but works for me...my favorite style... Thanks, Joe...

New Holland Pilgrim's Dole... then a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale bomber to break the cycle.... turns out I brought zero hoppy beers...oops...

this was amazing...HaandBryggeriet HaandBic...a lambic oak barrel aged for 18 months before it's blended & bottled... incredible...

Schlafly Reserve Imperial Stout..2009...not bad... Dogfish Head Red & White...hadn't had it in years...coriander to the extreme... Cigar City Marshal Zhukov...had it last Saturday in Chicago...still just as nice:)...

k...I admit I'm kinda glad when others agree w/me on beers... Cigar City Guava Grove is a better beer than Guava Groove...it's all about balance.... Groove was better this time than last...& that's got to be my familiarity w/it...I'm more confident tasting it...can pick out more...but Grove's simply better...all in attendance agree...

Clown Shoes Anniversary Hoppy Feet 1.5....still love the name (Steve Martin fan) & I'm glad I was able to try this & the regular version...Thanks, Raff..

Straffe Hendrik Bruges Quadruple Ale from De Halve Maan Brewery... any quad with chewy in the description:)...

strange that everyone here appreciated the Southern Tier Crème Brulée....great in moderation...

this is your normal emelius tasting... starting with an Upland Rasperry Lambic...

Bell's Java Stout on tap...yes, please!...

Hannsens Oudbeitje Lambic...mmmm strawberry... Flat12 Flat Jack Pumpkin Ale on tap... Professor Fritz Briem 1809 Berliner Weisse...a classic...

Starting off the evening at The Heorot... w/a poorly lit Saison Dupont...very pleasant on tap...

gee, thanks:)... I'll make sure & describe the beers I'm having tomorrow at the tasting to you:)...
