Ymm, Beer

Never heard of the BA Torpedo but had heard of/seen the Innis & Gunn beer, I think. Had to research the DFH 120 and discovered they had a rye barrel aged version of it: https://www.dogfish.com/brewery/beer...120-minute-ipa

Perhaps I can't handle bigger, stronger, quicker high gravity beers...

You’re gonna be in trouble tomorrow, then. 🙄🤣

Doom (bottled on 4/25/17)-Founders Brewing Company

From the weekend.

A tip of the snifter to dpslaw if he's still reading here for this suggestion.

Pour was a 12 ounce bottle into a Founders snifter. Darn near perfect I might add . Two-fingered head and a slightly hazy golden-yellow color. Smells like a barleywine with some orange, zest, leather and a bit of tobacco. Tastes a bit like a barleywine, too, but it's not. There's grapefruit, more orange, oil, and wait, what else is coming through now? Is that vanilla and oak and bourbon? Why, yes, it is! It's not a barleywine. This is a bourbon barrel-aged imperial IPA. In fact, according to the Founder's rep last month at a Bottle Rev tasting, it's the old Double Trouble recipe, which I haven't had since 1/18/10, that's been sitting in booze barrels for a year or so. I'll guess 80 IBUs, superbly balanced with an ABV of 12.4%. Not cheap at about $4/12 ounce bottle but reasonably priced. I've got 3 more from my 4 pack awaiting decisions: aging? trading? tailgating? Hmmm...

Here's that BBA Founders DIPA. I shoulda remembered the name.

Sooooo, has Virtual Pub been rescheduled to 12/12 due to your travel plans or remain on 12/19 and you'll conduct business remotely?

[Nrrrrvous]

Had not heard of it before today- Aviator Devil’s Nightmare.
A 15% version of Devil’s Tramping Ground.

Ummmm ... yes, please!

Strangely I find "myself" agreeing with my other self.

I second, er, third that!

Beer pretzels out of the oven — just need the other half of the equation for some sports-watching . . . .

They look great! Will they stay warm until I arrive?

[OldPhiKap]

No, they’ll be gone!

But give me a buzz when you are about 2 hours out, they’ll be a fresh batch on the cooling rack when you pull in.

You won’t already have a buzz by then? And you call yourself a Georgian ...
