From last PM, another preview:
wee heavy-Zaftig Brewing Company
About 5 miles from local when purchased.
Credit-another opportunity to fill a spot in the 4 pack carriers with an Ohio beer for trading.
Style-whaddaya think?
Format-12 ounce can
Stemware-snifter
Appearance-dark brown with a generous tan head
Nose-toasted bread and syrup
Mouthfeel-soft
Tastes-toffee, medium/dark caramel, hint of peat/smoke, herbal hops
IBU-might be 30
ABV-10% (? imperial Scotch ale)
Overall impression-malt bomb; good take on the style
Ymm, Beer rating-upper shelf cat 2; our son thinks the BBA version is even better and I'd be interested in tasting...

Exotic Matter-has nothing to do with UFOs...

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?

Beer pretzels out of the oven — just need the other half of the equation for some sports-watching . . . .
Exotic Matter-R. Shea Brewing
Two hours from local (Akron) when bought.
Credit-still filling up my empty trading places
Style-fruited NEDIPA milkshake IPA (sorry I can't get one of these to killerleft)
Format-a bit smaller than a Texas size 19.2 ounce tall, tall boy
Stemware-Hardywood teku
Appearance-hazy fuchsia with a slightly pinkish, foamy topping
Nose-berries
Mouthfeel-a bit tart, a bit sweet; juicy
Tastes-a raspberry Sweetart smoothie; some lemon and orange
Adjuncts-lactose, raspberries
IBU-26
ABV-8.5% (whoa, a boozeshake )
Overall impression-they pulled it off fairly well; would be an interesting side by side with Gizmo Brew Works raspberry milkshake IPA (?DIPA), likely retired
Ymm, Beer rating-high cat 2; I think the recipients will enjoy this but not at Veil level
