Welcome back, man.First beer in 4 weeks cracked an Emersons underground lager. Slightly hoppy delightful.
Welcome back, man.
Edmund Oast's Cordial Offering - Raspberry Truffle - Imperial Stout with Cacao Nibs and Raspberries Added.
3.8/5 on Untappd. 10%ABV. Not overly sweet, so a good dark chocolate raspberry truffle. This looks like the third kind I've had aiming at that (Lindley Park by Olde Hickory and DuClaw's PastryArchy Naked Fish. This might be the best of the three if you're going to drink the whole thing instead of just a small glass, and is definitely drinkable.
I think I'm just going to give up on chocolate raspberry beers though.

Hit two German restaurants while in DC this week - Cafe Berlin for sausages, bratkartoffel, and kartoffelsalat, and Prost for short rib spaetzle. Last time I was in DC I got sausages at Old Europe. There are a few more to try on future visits.
At both places this time I had the Köstritzer Schwarzbier (had never had it before). It's a keeper. I'm not sure how to describe it - heavier than the dunkels or dunkel weisses, with almost a creaminess (something I usually don't like) at the end. 4.8% ABV, with an 88=Very Good on Beer Advocate (3.91/5).
