Had one of these the other day.  Super well done…  Also love the super clean can design...

[Appfaff]

So true @emceeQ - really good balance. I love the deep Ellen beers for their smart takes on easy drinking classics, but this might actually be the best brew out of Dallas right now.

@formulapfaff and I continued our tradition of ramen followed by some beer sharing

Kirin with the ramen and karaage

Then Funky Gold Simcoe

And Anderson Valley Briney melon Gose

Apéritive for 11 people in an hour… Took out some glasswear - let's see how many I get right...

I use Oerbier glasses (big) for Westmalle and the small ones for white wine.

My brother is also bringing another two Orval glasses just in case...

Couple 1:

-him Westmalle or Orval or geuze
-her white wine

Couple 2:

-him special geuze of my choice
-her water (good muslim)

Couple 3:

-him Westmalle
-her white wine

Couple 4:

-him well this bastard will try and get some Verdant for him and his missus but he won't get any 
-him and her will share 44cls can of my choice and then maybe a gin-tonic (lush life)

Couple 5:

-him Oerbier or Orval (bad muslim)
-her water (bad muslim but pregnant)

Me:

-baby I'm starting things with the Verdant glass for a Papaya IPA
-then I switch to the Modern Times glass for a fresh as fuck Verdant DIPA

Any of you try anything by Decadent Ales? They’re a NY brewery that makes a lot of dessert beers, kinda like Omnipollo. Curious if their beer is any good

This one is pretty special. I tried it on draft recently and was delighted to find it in cans at my local bottle shop.

12oz. Wheat. 7%. IPA. There's legit nowt to hate is there?..

Also: nice to read you, wolfie… Hope you're doing absolutely splendid!..

[seawolf]

Not sure if there's any wheat in it. Hazy beers are getting pretty trendy around here lately, and I'm not sure if it's a wheat thing, or what? I guess I need to do a little research.

It's nice to be read! I know I've been a little absent lately, but I'm still here in spirit. Glad to get back to spending some time with you fine folks!

East Coast IPA, unfiltered smooth made with wheat grains.

[seawolf]

Where on earth did you find that? I was just looking around trying to find out more! Their own website doesn't even describe the types of malt in it, only the hops.

New beer from Firestone Walker. Their take on a NEIPA.
Tastes great and hard to beat at 10$ a six pack.

[Chris]

This is very good.

This is even better.

[Matty123]

This was good after a 15 months cellared I didn’t taste any blueberry. Very nutty though

@neph93

…or anyone else here that drinks dessert beers, what are your thoughts on their popularity? Are dessert beers a fad or is it here to stay? I downloaded the untapped app for my iphone and added a couple dozen dessert beers to my wishlist. My question is, how often do these beers taste as advertised? I have to admit that stuff like maple pancakes, pecan pie, pina colada milkshake or whatever other indulgence sounds really good on the surface, but I wonder how closely a lot of them match their advertised flavor? I know beer making is a science so maybe @emceeQ can shed some light on this? I look at the beer ratings on untapped and most of them seem to have 4 star ratings out of 5, albeit with a few negative comments sprinkled throughout.

The only one that I drink,absolutely love and look forward to each year is the Thick Mint Stout made by Southern Tier. It really tastes like the Girl Scout Cookie.

That's what she said…..
