New Kees beer… Espresso stout... It's fucking fantastic...

wanted to post some of these before, but i had no time due to the kanreki. while i stopped by singapore, my mate brought me to a place that sells imported craft beers.

Good choices @louisbosco.

They have this in a bar in Southsea and it is hands down the nicest drink I've had in a long time, makes a change from overpriced Peroni!  Haven't seen it anywhere else (not my pic unfortunately, currently sat at my desk!).

^their Racer Number 5 is really good as well. I haven't had that one.
Drinking this right now. Two of my favorite hops. My only complaint is the 12oz can. I want 4 more..

[Seul]

Yeah - I want a couple of dozen cans as well

Just what I needed…

Kees Project 17.5 Brandy BA barleywine. Excellent.

In Chicago for the weekend. Drank a bunch of Daisy cutter pale ale from Half Acre brewing in Chicago. Great hoppy pale with a low ABV.

@budpatch  I see you are at the Palmer House Hilton. It has the best lobby around. Stayed here many times.

Finally have something worthy of posting in this thread. With the help of the brewery my son was able to track down a bottle of the River Horse Craic,while I was away. A really delicious complex stout. Many layers of flavors coming through,with an entirely different kind of barrel taste,obviously,than a bourbon barrel stout. An amazing smell,wish there was more.

@twin you are correct, sir!  I do love the Palmer house lobby, great fresco work.

Stuff I shared with some good friends this weekend. I've learned my lesson on how quickly Grey Monday (and other weekday Bruery stuff) catches up to you, so I took a very small pour and gave a couple friends more than a reasonable serving. 

Particularly enjoyed Feral One this time around. That beer has a ton of subtle, tasty stuff going on. Too bad I had to split a 375 5 ways!

@Jett129  BA with coffee beans and vanilla is a winning combo. I really like the drier stouts too. Sounds delicious!

[Seul]

@cander49 - did you have the Grey Monday after all those sours?.. IPAs in between?..

[cander49]

@Seul, if we're sampling, we go in what we loosely consider least to most intense, flavor wise. All the IPAs I drink tend to be juicy and refreshing, so those usually comes first. Bruery weekdays are so intense that they blow most everything else out and usually have to go last. I once had some Bruery anniversary beer (usually quite intense) after something like Chocolate Rain or Black Tuesday, and it honestly tasted like water.

[Seul]

I always have a hard time drinking a stout after a sour… An IPA might be a good palate cleanser, as they say...

Either way: I don't really do samples/ tastings/ flights/ festivals/...

[Broark]

Had a pretty stupid day, hate my job, can't seem to find another one, etc., etc.
But, I found this at the store and it made it all better.
Bruery x Jester King Bouffon. Super damn tasty. If I've got half a brain I'll go back and buy two more bottles.

[cander49]

Sorry about the job, but glad to hear it on Bouffon! I've been looking forward to that when I can pick some up!

[Broark]

No worries, just gotta get on about it and find something new.
I'm definitely going to pick up another bottle, it was under $11 and totally worth it.
I still have a bottle of the original Bruery collab Imperial Cabinet, to this day might be my favorite beer of all time.

The porter wins.
