What are you drinking now?

[BUCKNUTS]

This is tasty. It's nice and crisp and citrusy.

What other brew of theirs did you have? I really liked Psuedo Sue and Golden Nugget. I though Assassin was good but not necessarily mind blowing.

Having more NEBCO and yams with fried pancetta, broccoli rabe, ricotta and Parmesan. Smacked.

I've had Pseudo Sue & Golden Nugget now. Both really good.

No because necessary. For we neither judge nor care!

A yam and black beer. Both better than expected.

that Whole Hog kinda surprised me as well. I thought it was gonna be a spice bomb.

 

[mattmmille]

Picked up a can of ten fiddy and two diff bottles from Weyebacher for later. At Fortnight Brewery now...had an assorted flight , an ESB and now a 1/2 pint each Bombshell IPA and ESB with an Asian beef shortrib baked potato. Yum!

HB Session IPA. Simcoe Dry hops are finally coming through.

Headed to sushi with the wife. Shes pregnant and wants food. Look OUT!!!!

 

[nukebrewer]

Thought I would compare my Time Dilation Dopplebock with one of my favorite commercial examples. Wasn't going for a clone, just wanted to see how they compare. Notable differences:

-Celebrator is noticeably darker
-Celebrator's head only a very slightly darker shade of tan
-Celebrator is a little maltier, I assume due the use of a traditional decoction while mine was simply a single step infusion mash.
-Time Dilation has a more pronounced dark fruit character, raisin in particular.
-Celebrator is 6.7% while Time Dilation is 8.1%

Despite their differences they are remarkably similar. Nice full body, very malty and full of big dark fruit flavors. If I didn't know which was which I'd be hard pressed to positively ID them. I officially consider my first dopplebock a success!

Did you lager it by putting it on a spaceship traveling near the speed of light?


Also, if you dig around I believe Jamil Z did some kind of experiment back in the day of comparing decoction vs melanoiden malt in the grain bill. The "malt" character that I think a lot of people perceive in the commercial doppelbocks and oktoberfests comes down to melanoiden (or a lack thereof).

 

[Remmy]

Another Gandhi. LMAO

 

[weirdboy]

Is your plan to drink a whole growler of Ghandi? Not that I am criticizing in any way....I'd love to be able to try some but alas I live on the wrong side of the continent and pretty much never get up to that area even when I go to the east coast.

[Qhrumphf]

A couple rounds of Weihenstephan Hefe and Hofbräu Original at the bar earlier with clubmates. Back at home, 1 week bottled samples of my Ordinary Bitter, Mild, and ESB. And they're all great beers.

 

[WesleyS]

I'm going to hit the cellar after dinner. :rockin:

Those are out of season. Fail!

Don't hit the cellar too hard. Save some for tomorrow.

Still tastey.

I got plenty. I won't run out.


First on the cellar Friday

Yes. I've done it plenty of times. It's like drinking water.

 

[weirdboy]

Yes. I've done it plenty of times. It's like drinking water.

8.8% ABV water....

I simply do not have that kind of alcohol tolerance.

 

[coldcrash]

I don't have a utility belt, but this is pretty much what I do when I'm judging at a competition. People like Gordon Strong can get pretty much everything they want to write out of a single taste, but I have to focus on the individual characteristics (aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, etc.) one at a time if I'm going to give useful feedback.

That's fine, and perfectly appropriate when judging at a comp but these guys behaving like this at a bar/ brew pub/ tasting room or festival are lucky not to get ***** slapped

No arguments here. If anyone sees me doing crap like that IRL please, ***** slap me. Although again I admit I really love to sniff my beer when I drink it. They just smell so good!

Haha, that would be the coolest way to lager a beer ever. But in reality it's just a reference to the way your perception of time is distorted when you're drunk.

Nuke your table is the **** man

Thanks. My ex-wife made it for me for Christmas last year.
