Shoot, ran out of Euro beers for #stouturday. Will have to pick up that thread on Monday at the source!
#FirestoneWalker Parabola 2024 is an awesome BA stand-in!
Big and bold, lots of flavors at play from charred oak, bourbon snap, chocolate, coffee, dark fruits (cherry?), and a hint of nuttiness on the finish. ABV 13.8%
Euro beer again? Don’t mind if I do! #stoutThursday returns to #sullivansBrewing
Black Marble #STOUT is a Nitro pour, creamy smooth with fabulous chocolate and coffee notes and a proper dry Irish finish.
Headed to Europe next week so I should tap some #stout from across the pond
#samuelSmiths Imperial Stout is a bit outside my usual style. Malty and VERY yeasty, hints of coffee and a licorice finish. Not for everyday but I do keep coming back for more!
Major shout out to Bobby & Steve’s AutoWorld in Bloomington,MN for a super fast starter fix on the Jeep. Back in business for the coming week!
After another 90 minute round trip with multiple construction zones and detours, time to enjoy a #LeftHandBrewing Imperial Peanut Butter Milk #Stout NITRO
Creamy smooth nitro with a nice balance of peanut butter, chocolate, and milk sweetness. #letItWarm for all the flavor
Planned to be home by 4pm. My Jeep decided to fry its starter at my kid’s house, not going anywhere.
AAA roadside took 3+ hours to land a tow to a nearby shop, so we got home at 8pm.
And now we have to make a 35 minute drive back sometime when things are fixed…weee! Best laid plans sometimes just explode.
Let’s end #stouturday with #prairieAles BOMB! 💣 imperial #stout. Rich chocolate, espresso, vanilla, and a kick of ancho chili to finish. This is a plan that went well.
Wait what!?! How did this big #costco chocolate chip cookie get here? Must’ve been a mistake… 🍪
If I *have* to eat it for dessert, I guess I’ll add a #greatLakesBrewing Conway’s Irish #stout
A favorite malty dry stout, perfect with some melty gooey chocolate!
#costco for dinner? Why not, a big Chicken Bake will pair well with the last of my #surlyBrewing & #revolutionBrewing Darkness with Friends!
The richness and dark fruits and oak nicely offset the salty cheesiness!
Det blev en fatlagrad Narwhal (2024). Stor doft av bourbon och torkad frukt. Fyllig smak, mycket bourbon, viss sötma, trevlig bitterhet av mörk choklad och kaffe. Mina tankar förs faktiskt till favoritpralinen körsbär i likör. Spritigt på ett bra sätt. Ett öl att smutta på under lång tid - det växer med temperaturen. #letitwarm #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason #öltut @beersofmastodon
Heavy weather in MN didn’t get us much rain or tornadoes. Still I’m ready to hunker down with Friends if things get bad!
Like my friends #surlyBrewing and #revolutionBrewing who created this beautiful 2024 Darkness with Friends collab!
Big and rich with dark fruit, toffee, chocolate, vanilla and an oaky finish. Hold me close!
You never know how much fun clarifying the definition of two words (event and incident) in a 47 page document will be until you are in the middle of it.
Now that THAT is over I m seeking a Peace Offering in case I broke anyone’s brain (including my own)
#pryesBrewing Peace Offering cold press coffee #stout
Big big coffee, smooth bodied with subtle cocoa and a bitter finish.
Kind of like my doc edits…
Mother’s Day dinner success. Lemon pepper rib-eye steaks, smashed potato salad, homemade grilled red pepper pesto, broccoli cauliflower salad - all the amazing foods my wife makes. I get the easy part just running the grill.
Pair with a #murphys Irish Stout for me and a gorgeous Nicosia Cerasuolo di Vittoria Sabbie di Sutta 2020 for her.
Mother’s Day, family is over and the good beers are on the menu
#dragonsMilk Crimson Keep Red #ale
#3Floyds Coco Mungo #stout
#sullivansBrewing Black Marble dry Irish #stout
Rib eyes are on the grill, just gotta make a solid dinner pick to accompany them!
South American wine 🍷 tasting, tonight? Didn’t we just do Oregon yesterday?
It is and We did, so the post-yardwork #stouturday cool down stays light with a #LeftHandBrewing Coconut Milk Stout.
Roasty lead, hints of bittersweet chocolate, not a coconut 🥥 in sight…a bit of oily consistency, maybe that’s it?
Evening wine tasting, lots of Pinot. A nice outside dinner and now home for dessert.
#boulevardBrewing Barrel-aged Tiramisu #stout is the classic cake in a bottle. Sweet lead with lots of cocoa and vanilla blends into a tingly boozy coffee finish.
Warming weather can’t kill my love of a good #stoutThursday
#northCoastBrewing Old Rasputin Russian imperial is rich dark roast flavors, coffee and molasses, complex like the man himself.
Wishing I had more time in the Backyard…best I can do today is a 2023 #gooseIsland Bourbon County Backyard #stout
Berries, bourbon, fruity and boozy with a tart finish. Fabulous in the kitchen, backyard, front yard, and side yard.
Wooo, 79F and a two mile walk to the store and back. Gotta go for a light #stout to cool off 😎
The classic #guinness draught nitro can, creamy and light bodied.
Temps stuck in the mid-70s and everything is greening up! May as well follow suit (with the can anyway)
Conway’s Irish Stout from #greatLakesBrewing is all roasty malts with a nice dry finish. Clad in shiny green ☘️ 🍺
The temp is 76, mowed the lawn for the first time, sweaty as heck!
So of course #itsAlwaysStoutSeason and I’ve got this new (to me) #3floyds Cocomungo in the fridge
Sitting in the shade with the dogs sipping! Bourbon and maple blend for a sweet opener, vanilla and nutty hints and a boozy finish make for a full bodied 15.6% treat.
Gotta break free of this cold, going Double Barrel on it for #stouturday !
#surlyBrewing 2024 Double Barrel Darkness is a big imperial #stout snappy with bourbon and rum barrel notes and a rich vanilla finish.
