Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Seth... I wouldn't describe it as smoky... some decent hints of smoke, yes... but not dominated. But the old Macallans were definetly stored in ex-Sherry Casks and that's the main flavor you get... dried fruits... very creamy... and very intensive notes of roasted malt... not sure if this is the influence of the cask or a general characteristic of this beer...

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a half carbed sample pull from my Monolith RIS, 16.3%. Soooo good. Once carbed I will be bottling from the keg. This yeast is a beast though, I'm sure it wouldn't have had a problem naturally carbonating in the bottle.

Then my Saison Noire. Pretty good, needs tweaking to be great though. My first attempt. Needs a little more spiciness and a little less sweetness and body. Will be using French Saison yeast and a little peppercorn next time.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Last night I had

Duck Rabbit Rabid Duck
Wild Heaven Ode To Mercy

I enjoyed both tremendously

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Picked up some Avery Maharaja. Some of my favorite stuff. For some reason, I had a tough time finding it this year.

Also picked up the Summer Seasonal From Spoetzel: Shiner Red Ruby. Very good stuff. Pale lager with grapefruit and ginger. GREAT refreshing beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Schlafly's seasonal AIPA.
I've had it on tap the last couple weeks, but tonight I go for the bottle.
Albert knows what I'm talkin about... a VERY solid AIPA.

Sweet Water 420=where its at :)
