Just one today. I don't care if it's no longer winter...
Had my first by clown shoes just the other week (a pumpkin) and it was really good. How was this one?
Post campout brew.
Lindley Park by Olde Hickory. A bourbon barrel aged imperial stout with with roasted chocolate malts and local honey, with raspberries added. 10.34% ABV.
95=World Class (4.28/5) on Beer Advocate.
If you want a stout that reminds you of a dark chocolate raspberry truffle, then this probably does what you are looking for. It's fine, but that's apparently not what I'm looking for.
(Especially since Olde Hickory's Photon Sphere has definitely grown on me. That was the one that was bourbon barrel aged, with honey, cinnamon, vanilla, cocoa, and habanero pepper. 12.3% ABV).

Good George Freshly Squeezed Hazy IPA 6.7%
Happy hour at a restaurant we go to. This is their seasonal beer. Happy hour craft beer $3.50-$4.20 usd.
Very fruity and I'm partial to hazy APAs. This one is more similar to them than most IPAs. By that there's very little bitterness.
Very nice comparable to some of the better hazy APAs I like. Gonna go with an 8.5 by IPA standards maybe a 9 or 9.5 as I like it better than other IPAs.
Went back for seconds usually I sample some other ones. There's a stout on tap.

So because it's summer here in the northern hemisphere I've lately moved back into some of my favorite summer beers. I was shocked--shocked, I tell you!--to find the Celebrator Double Bock unavailable at Wegmans. The Belgian stuff, while delicious, is just too expensive ($10-15 U.S./bottle). So what's a summery lad to do? Well, they had this U.S. domestic double bock called the Troeginator.
Honestly, it's not bad. I'd never choose it over a Bavarian or Belgian DB, but it's a fraction of their price and for what you pay, it's good.

DB here means dominion breweries. DB is fairly vile stuff Budweiser is wonderful by comparison.
Good ads though.

So bought am NZ lager while out for dinner.
Steinlager Pure
Now I remember why I don't buy NZ lagers outside of Pilsners. 5.5/10 for Steinlager Pure drinkable but low side of average.
So after that disappointment I went to the Supermarket. Haven't bought any take home beers for a couple of weeks.
Krombacher Dark and Hell. Lighting wasn't the best.
So poured the Hell to try it out. Seems to taste similar to notmal Krombacher. It's 5% vs 4.9%. Slightly more bitter with slight grain taste. Still nicer than Steinlager Pure. 7/10.
79 on BA.
