Rats, Halloween and I forgot to put any properly themed beer in the fridge! Thankfully this orange can will do for starters.
#timberAles Blended Fields
Dark as night, oaky lead to a thick chocolate and vanilla body with subtle spiced notes. Let it warm!
Hecking cold overnight, it’s not winter but it could be warmer inside AND outside. Let’s fix one of those!
#badWeatherBrewing 2022 Due Date VIII - Emilia’s Winter Warmer
Rich and warm with cinnamon, vanilla, orange, spice, and a barrel-aged bourbon finish.
A #surlyBrewing 2025 #darknessDay collab, not sure if we’ll find this one again. Bottle share with my Dad, what better reason to drink it NOW?
Darkness with Friends: Schell’s Beer brings us an imperial #stout aged in #tattersall bitter orange liqueur barrels & Evan Williams #bourbon barrels.
Not much orange on the nose but a really nice interplay of snappy citrus orange and dark flavors in a rich body. Let it warm!
Needed a pairing for dinner and had a second bottle of #firestoneWalker Boilermaker 2022 for #stoutThursday
Thin body with a rye whiskey lead and a bit of chocolate. Reasonably tasty but not “wow”. Let it warm to squeeze out the flavors.

I seem to have ignored #stouturday and now I see it’s #sundayBeers time. With autumn setting in & cool temps today this Strawberry Jacket BA barleywine from #RevBrewChicago is an awesome choice!
Bourbon & strawberry lead, caramel notes & a sweet-tart crisp finish.
A new KBS from #foundersBrewing? Don’t mind if I do!
Iced Latte KBS is bourbon-barrel aged golden ale, a creamy body, coffee and vanilla with an oaky bourbon finish and a hint of spice.
Sometimes dessert calls - I mean, that last pour was a bit light after all! And it’s still #stoutThursday
#boulevardBrewing Churro Grande is a barrel-aged imperial brown with a whiskey lead, nutty sweet cinnamon body and a nice tingly kick ending. Marvelous sipper!
One beer, three breweries, each adding their own magic, resulting in three different stouts 🍻 The first one by #Frontaal is a mega blast of chocolate, vanilla and some sweetness.
Trifecta Great Minds Series by Frontaal, Bravoure, and Folkingbrew.
"Each brewery started with the same base beer and added their own distinctive “adjunct”, resulting in three distinctive but perfectly complementary variants."

Wooohoo it’s #darknessDay tomorrow so today should be light-er-ish. And just one glass…
#boulevardBrewing The Sixth Glass BA Belgian quad - Smooth and boozy with a sharp opener and a malty caramely tart finish. A fine Quad, one glass or six.
Such a beautiful evening, how could I resist adding light to sunlight?
#dragonsMilk Tales of Gold is a fabulous golden ale, creamy with sweet notes of honey and vanilla with an oaky finish. #barrelAged #ale #craftbeer @beersofmastodon
A beautiful Fall day, 70F and a light breeze makes for long walks in shorts and short sleeeves. Saw a few folks out in sweaters and jeans! Hardly jacket weather yet…
If I must, it’s Strawberry Jacket from #RevBrewing, BBA barley wine with #strawberries
Fruity refreshment, well-balanced tart and sweet with a berry lead and a sweet caramel finish. A lovely sipper.
Race day, my son ran another 1/2 marathon and we played support team/cheer squad. 1:25:18 finish time, he’s amazing!
Since I worked so hard 😁 it’s break time with a #firestoneWalker 2022 Boilermaker BA milk stout. WhistlePig rye barrels do their part…
A bit thin, notes of whisky, chocolate, vanilla, and a bit of rye spice. Not outstanding, but a solid cool day sipper. Let it warm for sure.

Had my parents over and had to side-by-side a few BA selections. My Dad likes a good beer adventure!
#boulevardBrewing Sixth Glass vs Rye on Rye
Rye on Rye the clear winner for its smooth body and finish and lack of bite.
Man, false Fall hitting hard with a high temp of 58F! Wild swings are us in MN. Need to find some heat…
#dragonsMilk Crimson Keep
Just divine - malty, caramel, cherry, with a boozy tart finish. Warming all over!
When in Haarlem, you have to go to church.... To the Jopen Brewery Church (Jopenkerk).
A place where the beers are better than the food.... All we need is a bowl of chips (fries). Amen.
Mountain IPA Spiced Up
Jopen Zwarte Ziel Woodford Bourbon

Following Sunday red ale with… Monday red ale! Another fabulous BA red, this one with dragons. 🐉
#dragonsMilk Crimson Keep has a malty dark fruit lead, bourbon and caramel notes and a tart cherry finish.
It doesn't happen often but Frontaal's Legacy 20 BA stout is on the same level as Liberty's Prohibition Porter (2017 level 😱) and Orpheus BA stouts.
Excellent brew 🍻 Well done Frontaal.
"Legacy NO.20 is a Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout matured in Bourbon, French Whiskey and Maple barrels... Legacy NO. 20 is the very last in our Legacy series."
Some days you battle, some days you watch the battle.
#junkyardBrewing Peanut Kong vs Maple Monster is a goofy named #stout but it’s worth observing!
Syrupy thick body, rich with maple and chocolate and just a hint of peanut butter.
12% Bourbon finish, Maple Monster wins this round!
