Appropriately chided
, I'll add a couple more from my Goldsboro Brew Works haul:
(1) Uinta Noble Nectar. This is a limited release Belgian golden strong ale. A bit hazy and straw colored, it has your typical Belgian yeastiness and a hint of pink bubblegum sweet. Nice & strong at 8.5% ABV, with IBUs at 25. Solid Cat 2.
(2) Pitt Street's Dapple Dog dry stout. From Greenville, NC (maybe the only brewery I know of in Greenville). Per their
website, this beer is "brimming with dark chocolate notes, hints of honey and smells of roasty espresso. Marris Otter malt paired with specialty Carafa malts creates a bready, mouth-coating beer, while the East Kent Golding hops bring out subtle, herbal notes." My palate concurs. 5.4% ABV, with IBUs checking in at 36. Also Cat 2. A solid alternative, from a flavor standpoint, to the high-gravity stouts that are around.
And "see" y'all Saturday for Septemberfest. I'll probably open the doors around
10:00 a.m., because you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning . . . .
