From Monday night, the next to last DNP-CD from Bob's Virtual Porter Pub
Baltic Sunrise-Hardywood Park Craft Ales
Not really local unless you're really nrrrrvous.
Credit-Bob named the style and I chose this beer
Style-flavored Baltic porter (which is really a dark/black lager)
Format-500 ml bottle for $6.49, a steal if you like the style and/or are adventurous
Stemware-Hardywood 2018 GBS tumbler
Appearance-dark, dark brown with a large, foamy tan head
Nose-java and burnt grain
Mouthfeel-mild/moderate bitterness yet smooth
Tastes-java, molasses, dark carmel, burnt sugar, earthy hops, more coffee
Adjuncts-coffee
IBU-33
ABV-9.1%
Overall impression-much better than I expected; would buy another to share
Ymm, Beer rating-upper tier cat 2; the coffee took away the bad "aftertaste" that fuse mentioned; regular Baltic porter might be a upper level cat 1

Might have to return to Total Wine to get some Backwoods Bastard AND the BBA Quad if they have still have some for a side-by-side because even though they're different styles, the Quad evokes many memories of the ol' roy beer.

From two nights ago:
Blushing Padre
Founders Brewing Company
Fruit Beer
10.8% ABV
This is a tequila barrel-aged version of Founders Blushing Monk which I have never tried. The description for Blushing Monk reads, "Blushing Monk is brewed with a ridiculous amount of raspberries and with a Belgian yeast strain that keeps our head cellar operator from sleeping for a week. It pours a stunning deep berry red and, at 9.2% ABV, has a surprising kick. The perfect dessert beer, it can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh cheeses, fruit, cakes and more. "
This, by all means, was a drinking experience. The raspberries were prominent to start and the tequila comes through at the finish. An impressive beer.
Aluminum shortage now this??

Barrel Chest has Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen, the #7 rated (beeradvocate) Oktoberfest on sale. $10 for 6. Is it too early to start stocking up for Sept VP?
"That young man has an extra step on his ladder the rest of us just don't have."
Is it five o'clock on anyone's watch yet today? If so, sip one or two for me tonight, and tomorrow and Sunday as my alarm/watch will not sound until Monday at 5 PM.
