Melvin's 2x4 Double IPA. Big hops (obv) but not bitter, nice malt base keeping it smooth. 9.9%...not gonna take many to put me down. If you've had .44 Magnum from Four Noses this is similar.

I can't quite believe I'm saying this, but the above does not suck. I made this sampler based on your not suck recommendation above, when I took it out of the bag she says, "these are food candles, you're going to get sick of you have one after the other." Lol, yeah, maybe I already had a stout before I went out; should be... interesting? |

Lol, yeah, maybe I already had a stout before I went out; should be... interesting? Actually, that's the perfect description. It's not a good oatmeal stout. Hell, its not even a good example of a stout OR a coffee infused beer. And your wife is right, I would not recommend drinking more than one in a sitting. I drank the entire six pack over the course of a week, mostly out of obligation because the mother in law picked this up for me. It didn't give me the toxic beer shits that Blue Moon generally visits upon me, so they must be using a different yeast or process or whatever. I'm probably going to regret saying this but I'd almost like to try it on tap, just to see if its any different. |

https://munchies.vice.com/en/article...-in-the-shower There’s nothing quite like hopping in the shower at the end of a long week and cracking open a beer to simultaneously pre-game and freshen up before a night out. Whether because you’re amped to start getting your weekend drinking on or just a big fan of multitasking, shower beers really hit the spot. But if you’ve ever found powering down a full 12 ounces of beer during a six-minute shower rather tough, a Swedish brewery has the answer—a double-strength mini beer designed specifically for consuming in the shower. Game on. The aptly named “Shower Beer” comes to us from the Swedish craft brewery PangPang and the creative agency Snask, and it’s “a sweet but strong pale ale in a 18 cl (six-ounce) small bottle meant to gulp in three sips while standing in the shower getting ready for the night.” “We always loved the concept of drinking beer in the shower, so the idea to create a beer that would be drunk while showering was a must,” Snask Founder and Creative Director Fredrik Öst told MUNCHIES. “But we also wanted to create a beer that would kickstart your night, hence a strong but sweet beer that would be sipped in three to four sips while getting ready to the tunes of ‘Dressed for Success!’” |
Tonight, I'm having a very tasty, and new, one that just appeared on shelves here:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CzRdLnZUQAAY_6m.jpg Caltucky is an American twist on a Russian Imperial Stout. Brewed with Wheat, Corn, and Rye just like a good Bourbon, then rested for 4 months on Old Forester Kentucky Bourbon Barrels. The robust richness of the imperial stout and characteristics of the rye and bourbon have matured into a complex, spicy, and flavorful stout. A marriage of Russian Imperial Stout and Kentucky Bourbon from twisted Californian minds. For freshest flavor, store below 40˚ F Color: Black with tinges of red around the edges Head: Tan Mouthfeel: Rich Velvety and Spicy Up Front: Spicy Rye, Cocoa, Toffee, Vanilla, and Deep Caramel Aroma: Rye, Vanilla, Tobacco, and Caramel Apple Finish: Sweet Warm and Robust Roast Malts ABV: 10.0% IBU: 48 . |
AHH YISS

http://i63.tinypic.com/1zyj0a8.jpg This stuff has got to be the bargain of the century at $10.99 a six-pack. . |

This is the 108th birthday Shiner, no coffee flavor at all IMO. It tastes like their standard bock plus a tiny little hint of chocolate cake aftertaste. It's better than if it actually tasted like a coffee bean and Shiner mixed at least.

Use an ice cold IPA (Not Imperial!) and a bar of Irish Spring for best results. I took a chance on this the other day because the guy behind the counter assured me that "it's actually pretty good". Fact: People who sell beer have a shitty taste in beer. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...cd86e6ac96.jpg The tastes of vanilla and malted milk balls are accentuated with a flavor that I can only describe as "synthetic". It is nearly as bad as the Voodoo Doughnut maple bacon stout that Rogue released a few years back. |

I've only got one of these left from the 4-pack I got from Tavour and it makes me sad. Ultra-drinkable 6.5% IPA. Could easily pass for a session IPA.

That is good stuff, but their flagship single IPA is one of the best beers I've ever had. Try it if you are able. I just snagged a 6-pack of Asterisk DIPA from Tavour yesterday :)

Just brewed a chocolate mint stout yesterday. Will be the first beer that I keg with my new 4 tap system. Super excited.

NICE! Care to share the recipe?
I've always said that if I ever brewed my Milk Stout again, I'd add chocolate and mint. I'd love to hear how this turns out for you, and how you did the mint. :bigtu: |

I used this recipe as it has a reputation for being a great example of this style. For the mint, I used mint tea as the recipe suggests but subbed out 3 bags for some fresh mint from Sixshooter's wife's garden |
Lol, I just realized how long its been since I logged into HBT.
Looks solid, though I'm surprised the teabags go directly into the boil. I'd be worried about fermentation stripping out a lot of the peppermint from the nose, but I'm sure the fermentation will smell amazing regardless. |
