Dire Wolf

Imperial Stout, 10.8%

Several species, err, variants of this available...

[devildeac]

Coconut Cream Pie

Coconut Vanilla Cream Ale 5%

Would be tasty if anyone wanted to make any pie bets...

[devildeac]

Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Brunch

Cream Ale w/ Cinnamon, Coffee, Chocolate, & Vanilla 5%

Better than French Toast?

[devildeac]

Yeah, I Said It

Strawberry & Lemon Milkshake IPA 6.5%

Would this work in the ice cream category?

[devildeac]

Pam's Brownies

Imperial Pastry Stout 10%

But, I don't know anyone named Pam.

[devildeac]

Lemon Meringue

Lemon Vanilla Cream Ale 5%

Another one for the pie bettors out there...

From last PM:

Mulling Spices Port Barrel Magellan-Wolf's Ridge Brewing

Local for the purchasing agent.

Credit-our son traded this very limited, brewery only release pre-COVID; thanks!!
Style-very fancy imperial stout
Format-8 ounce bottle (no, really, it's a half pint glass container); wasn't cheap at about $9/bottle
Packaged on-01/31/20
Stemware-snifter
Appearance-dark, dark brown with hints of burgundy; small, tan head
Mouthfeel-velvety
Tastes-sooooo complex with port to start then, dark caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, dark chocolate (not added) and vanilla
Adjuncts-maple syrup, Vietnamese cinnamon, Madagascar vanilla, (hint of), allspice, orange peel (didn't taste this) and nutmeg
IBU-probably 50
ABV-13% (oughtta be illegal )
Overall impression-an amazingly complex beer without an overpowering element; almost a different taste every sip over the 60 minute consumption time
Ymm, Beer rating-upper tier cat 3; my second bottle *might* make it to a 2021 tailgate but might be shared with family before then

For LegoBatman:

Z is for Zaftig. Story and review soon.

Yea, I know it's also for Zoubek but he doesn't have a brewery.

Darn shame I couldn't get another Zaftig product before Virtual Pub, then I'd have 2 "Zs;" imagine the possibilities of Scrabble words with Z&Z.

I know my mind is a little fuzzy while I wait for my pizza to heat up. But as I look out at the drizzling rain, I'm puzzled because I can't think of any words with two z's.

This post has a lot of pizzazz.

Zzzzzz...

Ooops, not a word.

4 "Zs?"

Bzzzt. Not even in Super Scrabble (yes, I had to research that )

Heck, Nrrrrvous and I are eliminated because there are not 2 "Zs" in the game.

Sister is bringing me the Ol' Rugger from Zaftig, but didn't win the BBA version - lottery.

Skull Camp Knuckledragger DIPA

Full disclosure: Skull Camp is a client, and was started by the current owners of Round Peak Vineyards (and Round Peak was founded by one of my now-retired law partners).

This is a solid beer. Pours a nice copper color. Medium-sized off-white head, which lingers a long time. Nice notes of some caramel, framed well by some pine in the hops (Mosaic, I believe). 9.0% ABV. I’m guessing IBU’s around 65. Not a “wow” beer, but a really good one.

Revisiting this, now I want to do a side-by-side with Foothills' Seeing Double DIPA. Sensing a lot of similarities.

So would that be a double word score? Or at least double letter?

Beats me. Confession: I have *never* played Scrabble. How many points would Krzyzewski get?

Depends if we play zone or not.

Depends if we play zone or not.

If Mickie Krzyzewski directs Mike Krzyzewski to play the zone, does that get more points?
