      All that Danish stout… Amazing.

      I ditched the Orval (at least until tomorrow) in favour of this cheeky bugger:

      First time for me, apples, malt and a touch of vinegar. Not as sweet as other Oud Bruin. Almost dry at the end. I enjoyed it. Do you rate these guys, Seul?

            It was nice to try something new. Speaking of which…

              Big Elm Fat Boy Double IPA. Pretty darn solid.

                  :o 😉 😉

                  That's like saying, "Man, I was cleaning out my garage today and remembered i had this S550 AMG. Might drive it some day…"

                  Great score!  I've only seen one other from that year, and I didn't get to taste it.  Would love to hear/see your impressions/pics if you ever open it.

                      Haha it was a gift way back in 2011.  It's dusty.  If the Pats win tomorrow I'll toast it. Outside of that I'll be opening a couple different Treehouse brews tonight or tomorrow.

                          The taster was a gift from Sam Adams.  In order to get it I had to give them the serial number on the bottle and they mailed it to me. Pretty classy.

                                    I'll keep an eye out. I'm going to a pretty good tasting/trading event next weekend and Sam Adams will actually be there.

                                      Tonight's lineup, shared with mom in law

                                      Treehouse Alter Ego - almost perfect


                                      Wormtown Be Hoppy - too bitter from front to back not well rounded

                                      Big Elm Transformer IPL - their first try, just ok, doesn't hold a candle to Jacks Abbey in this category, which brings me to this..

                                      Jacks Abbey Hoponius Union IPL. Very crisp very solid. No coffee table because kids so I improvised.

                                          My holiday is off to a BRILLIANT start… Best aged beer I've ever drank... One of the best beers I've ever drank, period... I was scared it'd be past its point, being a 2008 bottle... Fuck me running - it sure as fuck wasn't... Slowly gushing foam when opened, poured a beautiful chestnut with a bit of cognac coloured ale that prominently had port in the nose...

                                          The balance... The balance... Dear gods the balance... I'm pretty sure this was at its absolute PEAK...
