Ok, enough. Back to work.

Coffee cake topped with pee-cans and semisweet chocolate morsels for breakfast this AM. Hmm, that'd make a delicious pastry stout.

Two desserts last PM, one fruity, one chocolate-y; both liquid. More later.

Anonymous inquiry about saisons and Nelson Sauvin hops. Will research and reply this evening.

I drove to work this AM. No beer involved.

For the anonymous inquirer:

"A new arrival from New Zealand, Nelson Sauvin is sure to delight those looking to impart a unique aroma to their beer. Nelson hops are an excellent dual purpose hop that can be used to produce a punch or sparingly for subtler bittering qualities. The aromas have best been described as resembling a white wine "fruitiness" with fresh crushed gooseberry and grape infused tropical flavors. Ideal for American-style Pale Ales and specialty beers."

Final quote. Promise.
"My favorite dry hop and late addition hop. Adds a very unique and very intense “dank” grape-y flavor. Perfect for an IPA or sour saison. I typically use about an ounce per 5 gallons. It works especially well when paired with Citra, Mosaic, and/or Galaxy."
Far better than monosyllabic replies.

Freshness data-08/18/2020 05:25:28
Stemware-if it's from RVA, it's (almost) always in a Hardywood teku
Appearance-brilliant purple burgundy with a foamy red raspberry head
Nose-berries and grapes, plus, more berries and grapes
Mouthfeel-a bit tart, a bit sweet and thick

Overall impression-when Mrs. dd asks for another sip or three of a sour IPA/IIPA, it's an otherworldly beer
Ymm, Beer rating-cat 3.99; I could've had 4 of these last PM"
