I traditionally do a Friday Happy Hour with a friend in person. Since the "lockdown" its been twice a week on-line, we'll see how it goes once things open up. Anyway, I'm thinking pictures of brews and brief reviews (and maybe the snacks once its back to being out some place). I'll only be posting one each time since it's grown to be my limit, a decade ago it would have been two or three.

Edit: Now expanded to spirits too.

La Lindura Coffee Stout by Untitled Art in Waunakee, Wisconsin. Imperial Stout with Coffee, Milk, and Sugar. 12% ABV.

It's coffee in the sense of a coffee ice cream maybe, and it goes down sort of like a melted version of that (or with a texture a bit like the bottom half of a cup of hot chocolate made from powder). Was surprised it was 12% because I couldn't taste it. I'd drink one again, but wouldn't be the one to order it. I don't like it as much as I did their Chocolate Banana Imperial Stout (in spite of the fact 11% in that one was definitely noticeable).

Maisel's Weisse Original Hefe-Weissbier, from Bayreuth, Germany. Very nice balance of tastes between the beer flavor and stereotypical banana flavor of a hefe. Pours darker than a lot of them (maybe half-way between a hefe and a dunkel-weis?). This one is a keeper.

Foothill's Brewing People's Porter. 5.8% ABV, 30.1 SRM, 42 IBU. A bit hoppier than I like, but a solid porter and a nice change of pace. Nice to have IBU reported on the bottle. I'd never heard of SRM, but it's apparently related to color.

Southern Tier Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale. 8.6 % ABV. One of the great pumpkins that comes out at this time of year - a nice balance between the pumpkin, ale, and alcohol taste. A bit more of the later two than I usually get in a beer, but they hold together well with the pumpkin.
