drinking a elysian split shot stout.

The dubbel I made with about 2" piece cut up real black licorice in the boil.

I will do it again but only with 1" piece. This tastes good - it's a dubbel after all - but the licorice is strong enough that this is pushing the edge of what I might call "Belgian Rootbeer". I wanted it to be more in the background. So 1" or maybe even just 1/2" next time I try it.

Had a White House Honey Porter while SWMBO had a St. Valentines Cherries in Honey.

Elysian Dayglow IPA: Outstanding!

A bunch of stuff: Port Jeff Party Boat IPA, Blue Point Summer, My own Fat Cat Pale, Hedonism Red, Sierra Nevada PA. Not all at once though.

Stay thirsty!

T8r's Blue Moon Clone FIRST POUR from April 6th bottling. What a fantastic aroma from opening the cap to the pour to the sniff after setting for 10 minutes (I got sidetracked-party foul maybe)...what a very refreshing pleasurable brew this was. Sometimes I even amaze myself.

Would it be wrong to say: "not enough"?

Kathy and I are on the road tonight. At the hotel bar started with Highland oatmeal porter, then a Stone Levitation, and finally a peanut butter porter float for dessert.

Sitting in Leavenworth, WA tonight. Wife is sippin on a good Schmitt & Sone Ausslese, and I'm hitting the 20oz Bitburger Pils. This is a tourist area set up in Bavarian style. First time in my life I have paid this much for a hotel room... wow. Can't be too picky without reservations in this place. We ate at a Bavarian Guest Haus, we are both stuff'd. These brewskis are pretty darn good. Hopefully I won't get too tipsy as tomarrow, I plan on hitting a few of Pikes Brewry treats in Seattle! Fun-fun, wish y'all were here.

Had the next to last Sticky Wicket Oatmeal Stout, just the compare bottle left to see how my Oatmeal Stout stacks up against it - that will be ready around July 4th. SAMBO asked for a St. Valentine`s Cherries in Honey but I mistakenly opened a White House Honey Ale.

Straffe Hendrik quad. Absolutely amazing. And Inkleg, I must say that your Ovila and this beer taste an awful lot alike! Delicious dark fruit notes. I love De Halve Maan's beers. I love Bruges. I miss Bruges. I want to go back.

Wow, Thank You for the compliment Phil. I in turn must Thank mashani and BigPapaG for suggesting to add the D-90 candi syrup in the recipe after primary fermentation had slowed down.

Had my Batch 10 IPA with dinner, then my Irish Red, also batch 10. What I mean by batch 10 is the 10th version of each. I keep tweaking the recipes.
We arrived at our vacation rental today and I brought a case of various homebrews.

Drinking some mighty fine Pike Kilt Lifters & IPAs at Pike Brewing with Yankeedag & Frozenin Time!
