Ymm, Beer

We are in town this weekend, but not sure if we'll make it over to Foothills. If we do, I'll certainly procure a four-bagger for you.

You're kind. Thanks!!

SHUT UP-Center of the Universe Brewing Company

"Time to shed the in-laws and enjoy a nice tall glass of...SHUT UP!"

Credit: accfanfrom1970; thanks!!
Format: pint aluminum vessel
Style: BBA imperial stout (damn, another DNP-CD for thedukelamere's Virtual Pub this month)
Stemware-snifter
Appearance-dark, dark brown with a moderate beige head
Nose-dark chocolate and booze
Mouthfeel-a bit thin but pretty slippery
Tastes-round up the usual suspects including semisweet chocolate, molasses, dark caramel and a late, warm bourbon finish
IBU-probably 60
ABV-11% (took me over an pour to finish this one)
Overall impression-very good in another field that's getting rather full
Ymm, Beer rating-top shelf and center cat 2; the "thinness" and somewhat subtle bourbon presence knocks it off the cat 3 shelf; I'd sip again

IBU-65

DuClaw has released a beer called “Regular Beer” that, you guessed it, tastes like beer. 😂

And, Perrin Brewing Company (who?) has released a beer called Carrot Cake Cream Ale.

It does sound interesting:

"Seven moist, decadent carrot cakes from Arnie’s Bakery were added to the mash to lend Carrot Cake Cream Ale a delectable dose of authentic, locally-baked cake flavor. The sheet cakes were made with fresh shredded carrots, crushed pineapple, raisins, cake flour and eggs, and topped with whipped cream cheese icing."

You are too healthy/skinny to have an inner fuse 🤣

Maybe it's just my outer covering then.

Opened one of two Veil Hollow Place Oreo bottles. Bought November 2019, so aged a bit. This is an imperial stout conditioned on a “silly amount of Oreo cookies.” It is silky and smooth and 10.5% abv. You really taste the cookie part of the Oreo, a hint of sweetness that I guess could be the cream filling, but mostly it’s the cookie. And it’s a good cookie, and this is coming from someone who worked at the Nabisco bakery in Richmond where all the double stuffs are made. I ate a lot of Oreos .

Veil does the hollow place in a variety of flavors, most recently coconut I believe. This is an excellent stout, cat 3, but not cheap. $20 for 16.5 oz. Will be saving the 2nd for a special occasion. There is probably more info on the bottle but I can’t read it even with a magnifying glass.

Highland Black Mocha Stout

A long time since I have had one of these. A really solid dry stout. Malty and chocolately up front. Dryness on the finish. A solid Cat 2 beer. I’d never turn this one down.

I admit, regardless of how I feel after the fact, gimmick/unique beers are fun. This one sounds tasty.
