      @Jett129 It makes perfect sense and it’s not rambling.

      Tastes are all subjective.  I’ll never be able to taste a wine and tell you where it’s from, what year it is, or the guy who picked it.  On occasion I’ve had a wine, scotch, or cognac that has blown me away.  Sadly, I’ve never had a beer that has done the same for me.

      I see all of your postings about beer and hope to one day experience that feeling with beer.  I have ones I’ve liked and ones that I tend to go to, but would just once have a great beer.

      Now I’m rambling and hope I make a little sense.

      Off topic:  thanks for the Buddy Rich/Lewis post!  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Always loved him (Rich) and enjoyed the antics of Lewis.

          Was at the brewery today to pick up some stouts and everyone on line,in front of me was getting and or talking about this. After being assured that it wasn’t toooo hoppy,I decided to give it a go. Hated it. Oh well.

            @Seul As the others have pointed out, and you being the resident connoisseur:  Can you tell us what makes a good beer great?

            I'm also the resident idiot but I'll try and answer your question after I get back from work  😉

              I think the most interesting beer I had this year, was a coffee DIPA… Brasilian piece of work... Absolutely astonishing... Mate you can fucking wake me up any time of the day for a good cup of Joe, and if you add a DIPA to it... I'll be close to purring  😉

              What I like in a beer?.. Summat new, perhaps?.. Am I the only one who's growing tired of beers that are too sweet?.. I've found myself going for more "ordinary" stouts recently... Fuck me: barrel age 'm on anything and everything, but hold the multitude of sweet adds, please and thank you...

              But it is so subjective, of course, as my main squeeze Jett29 pointed out... Mind you: he doesn't know he's my main squeeze and might be filing a report as we speak...

              Whether or not beer has blown my (tiny) mind this year?.. Yeah... It has... On many, many occassions... And it's why I'll stick to this hobby (called alcoholism) for another year... I'm not at a position to both indulge in wine and beer financially, unfortunately, because I do love me some of the red Frenchies; but I can honestly tell you that wine has dissapointed me easily tenfold of how much beer has...

              But it is subjective...

              And I'm tired...

              Although I love this language, I will just stick to posting some pictures for now... Lemme have an espresso, and I might add to this... Let's ramble!.. Let's all ramble!.. I love a good free-flow ramble...

                  Seul I really enjoyed reading your recent posts. I agree with you about sweet beers. I have been staying away from almost all beer with adjuncts. Not drinking any more fruited sours or milkshake IPAs.
                  There is something about the way a beer looks in a glass that resonates with me. That Pinot Gris Tilquin looks amazing.
                  This was a solid IPA from Black Flag

                                @Joberwocky It was good (and I guess an inevitable choice for that particular brewery). I don’t really have any beer flavour comparisons but it made me think of Ferrero Rocher and Kahlua (although the stout didn’t have anything like the same level of coffee flavours).

                                  I tend to enjoy hazelnut beers a lot. Brown Ales with hazelnut are often gorgeous.

                                        I think it’s a requirement to have at least a few Mad Elfs every season in our area. Not my favorite beer, but I drink it every year.

                                          I agree @Soleamp , it's a beer I've grown accustomed to picking up every year, while a "cherry beer" isn't really my style of choice  😃
