That looks good. Have you tried the the new Fade to Black vol. 3? It has a bit of a bite to it.

Yes...they have that on tap at the Brugge where I was at earlier...I think it's good stuff, but I'm not a big fan of Left Hand...

I had a Harvey & two Very Bad Kitties...then a nap:)...

How is it?...I was about to order some of that online for the holidays...

Sam Adams The Vixen

jacking up on 100% kona coffee. i am now such a caffeine lightweight, feeling kind of loopy.

I'll say. Just take a look at yourself. You should send me the rest of the Kona before you embarrass yourself any further.

How is it?...I was about to order some of that online for the holidays...

It's pretty good. I was expecting into be too sweet but it isn't. I will probably pick another couple of bottles. If you want me to send some up, let me know.

it's really cheap on Lueken's right now so I'll be alright, but thanks:)...see any Churchill/Roosevelt down there?...

lemme know if there's anything up here you're after...when are you & Raffy gettin' together?...

I'm drinkin' a Yeastie Boys Digital IPA from New Zealand...kinda dry...not very lively, but it's goin' down just fine...

Found a new beer bar near me where an old lady friend works....had a Stone Ruination followed by a Bell's Two Hearted.

Not sure if I'm more excited seeing her or discovering a new beer place

For Al:

I like it a lot. It's from barrel 99. I hope to have a bottle from barrel 72 next week. Thanks raffy.

pics or it didn't happen, Raffy:)...

Yeastie Boys Pot Kettle Black...this is nice & smooth...might sit heavy, but I only intend on drinkin' one...

glad to have the Shelton Brothers line back in Indiana...most of it at least...trying to get Jolly Pumpkin sorted...

Very good, Mike, thanks for the prompt report.

Yeastie Boys is my new favorite brewery name.

Now quaffing a really nice Mount Vernon Cocktail, if I do say so myself. I can't recall the source of this one but it is a cool recipe.

Mount Vernon

1 ounce Kirschwasser

1 ounce Brandy de Jerez

3/4 ounce grapefruit juice

1/2 ounce Pedro Ximénez sherry

1/2 ounce Cherry Heering

3 brandied cherries, for garnish

Shake all the ingredients except the cherries with ice and strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with the cherries on a pick.

Bonal and Rye

Killed my first bottle of bitters...

2008 Schlafly Reserve Imperial Stout

Very good

growler of Flat12 Walkabout...<3 them galaxy hops...

Schneider Edel-Weiss and Hofbrau Helles with awesome pretzels at the new beer garden in town. Blankets provided.

Bluecoat Martini wet. 2:1 ratio Bluecoat and Dolin Dry.

Luce Brunello di Montalcino. Much better than the bottle I had last week, hard to imagine they were from the same batch and year. I just renewed my subscription to the Brunello fanboy club.

Good but not awesome, hopefully that will change for the better in two hours. Cheers all!

Getting better, still not awesome yet.
