Major beer brewing seminars going on in Vt for last two weeks. Mr. Lawson and others in attendance.
You in VT?Quote:

Had quite a few different brews as of late but these two stood out:
Granville Island Mocha Porter, so so good hands down the best coffee/chocolate added I've ever had, perfect blend of flavours, I can't recommend it enough.

Howe Sound Pothole Filler Stout, definitely the darkest beer I have ever seen, even my LED flashlight can't penetrate this black brew. Really strong & thick, lives up to it's name for sure.

Elysian Split Shot Espresso Milk Stout on Fresh Frozen Cascadian Crystals
Happy New Year

If weather cooperates I hope to brew this week a double chocolate milk stout that I will dry nib.
Last night's menu:
Oakshire Espresso Stout
Left Hand Fade to Black
Avery Out of Bounds Stout
I'm a big fan of that Oakshire Espresso Stout
You got a nitro tap? Sounds like a good candidate.Quote:

If you ask a local gas company for "Guinness Gas" or just 25/75% co2/nitro (or close to that) they will usually carry it. Forget price but I don't think it is very expensive.Quote:

Beer gas requires a special tank, regulator and tubing all being different than CO2.
You can carb with the blend, just leave it on high pressure for a day or two.Quote:

Local small batch brewery from Veneta. Haven't drank in two weeks-> thought it was due time to treat myself.
I'll report back (waiting on a friend)
Edit- it was very clean but a little bland. Perhaps I'm more a espresso stout guy but this seemed like a dark colored brown ale
Thanks for this. I think that could be the issue-> beer seemed to be flat as fuck (I was on the wagon and only had a small sip)Quote:

This is new to me. Not bad- a little hoppy if anything
I had a couple Deschutes Obsidian Stouts on nitro at the local pub the other night. It's like a completely different beer on nitro draft. Delicious.
Sick!Quote:

I just knocked out a bottle of '13 a few weeks ago. Delicious.
'13 was the best imo w/ two years of age. What do you think of the new releases?Quote:

I highly recommend it if you find yourself up there.
Current version is meh

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3e041ed595.png
And I can't wait! Is it stout time yet???
A good stout in fall, win.
Not, bad, but what do I know. I like just about anything that's not macro
Attachment 216907
I can say with certain authority however, that this one is Damn good
Attachment 216989
While not a true stout, Bent Paddle Black Ale is at the top of my beer list right now. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...14acf838cd.jpg
Attachment 216991
For those of you in the know....I've got 4 of these coming in December.
At $25/bottle...I'm not too happy, but after having a few glasses these past few years, I find it a good investment. Also looking forward to Goose's BCBS this Friday. Cheers.
It's better than their pils https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6be5747f0c.jpg
And Porter. Buttah just f'd up the title [emoji41]Quote:
