Wrapping gifts and pondering Christmas Day breakfast. We bought raspberries - and say, what have we here?
#aleSmith Speedway Grand Prix MMXXIV Chocolate Raspberry Edition #stout
Lots of raspberry at first with a tart/bitter note. Body is light chocolate but the coffee is overwhelmed by the jamminess. Tart finish really lasts.
Less of a tart punch in the face than #vennBrewing Oppulescence Sexxxy Delicious if you’ve had that one.

@beersofmastodon I’d call this a more drinkable version of #vennBrewing Sexxxy Oppulescence Delicious, which is also big raspberry but overwhelmingly tart to my tastes.
My wife said “pick a dessert beer” for #nationalBeerDay
Trying to pair with pork loin spicy pepper chili was tough and I probably missed the mark. But hey, can you go #stout wrong?
#vennBrewing Opulesence Sexxxy Delicious is a big raspberry lead with chocolate notes and a tart finish. Dessert beer for sure, 12%. Pairs with peppers? Not so much.
Family is home, pizza and salad post-yoga for dinner. But what’s for dessert?
#vennBrewing Opulesence Sexxxy Delicious imperial stout with chocolate & raspberry.
Big raspberry nose, rich chocolate with a tart finish. Almost sour to my taste, a nice dessert beer. Lighter than expected for an imperial. 12% ABV, it’ll sneak up on you!
Presidents’ Day weekend - me and Benjamin Franklin headed to #dabblerDepot to restock because #itsalwaysstoutseason!
Ben got it covered (with a little help from Andrew Jackson) with a bunch of local brews and a few others.

Call it #stoutTuesday because… well because!
A repeat serving of #VennBrewing #lunarRising breakfast #stout, paired with the not-so-obvious selection of gochujang Korean barbecue sloppy joes and sea-salt potato chips!
Tasty!
Rich coffee and vanilla buoyed by (I think) the lactose in the brew, smooth with just the right hint of a bitter finish. Pairs superbly with the subtle heat of the BBQ

It really needs to be #stoutThursday … oy what a week.
Tonight’s choice is #VennBrewing Lunar Rising, a breakfast stout with a HUGE coffee and chocolate lead and a chaser of what my wife calls “fig” and I call vanilla-molasses.
Bigger on the coffee than my tastes run, but a nice lightly carbonated change of pace.

The beer future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades. Three new and a repeat from today’s #DabblerDepot field trip.
