Belgian quad from a homebrew club member. It's actually pretty awesome.

Made a 10 gallon batch with a buddy was something like this:

pale malt 68%
munich 15.5%
carared 6.2%
victory 2.3%
crystal 40L 1.6%
crystal 120L 1.6%
Pale chocolate malt 200 srm 1.6%
1 lb of corn sugar

Lots of CTZ, and Amarillo hops in the boil bigger additions later 50 ibus or so..

My buddy dry hopped his 5 gallons with Centennial and I dry hopped mine with Citra and Amarillo. I like his better (don't tell him though)

Only thing I would do different next time is up the corn sugar to 1.5 or 2lbs and I'd use a more neutral yeast like my buddy did. He used us-05 and I used a yeast cake of WLP007 (still a darn good beer but I got less out of the hops)
 
My Serrano Pale Ale! Very good pepper heat that fades ands smoothed nicely on the back end. Just what I was trying for, but I wouldn't want any more heat than it has. Mmmmmmm....!

It was the first Bells I ever had (back when it was Sol Sun). Probably my introduction to craft beer. I like it but probably my least favorite Bells beer (I have to be in the right mood for wheat beer).

I know what you mean it is good but not worth all the big hype imo. Bells has way better beer for sure :)

Bought this the other day to round of a "buy 3 bombers, get a glass" deal. Not bad at all; leads with big caramel coated orange/tangerine rind on the nose. Not too bitter and tons of orange and tropical fruit flavors. Little bit of a bite from the nine six, but the sweetness and orange meringue-like hop flavors back it up. Finish is long, lingering orange/tangerine hop flavor. Did I mention this tastes like orange candy?

Sure, why not. Here's an idea. We dump them in that keg you used for the Falconer's AL. Maybe it will never run dry. ;)
 
Still havent had^ that(twin sisters) one yet. Havin a Double Dorado though =double delicious definatly enjoy it more than a Hopslam and probably Hoptimum as far as a 10%er. +1 on aging the oaksmoked stone barleywine-had 1/3 of a bottle yesterday and thought it finished harsh with overpowering oak and hops/ mainly the bitterness killing the smoke character,and thought it needs at least a year on it by the end of the snifter. May get one to age a year or three. Didnt really enjoy it as is but do see its potential. Just really seemed in need of rounding out.
 
Greenbush Brewing DuneGräs IPA. Awesome! Great balance but a really dank aroma which I love. These guys are fairly new and local but Im definitely buying more of their stuff. Nizzle if you havent checked them out you should.

I figured as much. My plan was to let one sit for about a year and then let the second one sit for an additional year or so.
 
No beer for me, stuck in the hospital unexpectedly. Keep em coming guys, I have to live through you the next couple days.
