What did you drink today?

[phisherman]

Last night I had two interesting brews
1. Westmalle Trapist tripel
Cirtrus and lemon on the nose; very subtle. It starts with the classic belgian sour dough yeasty flavour, but an easy one not too strong, then it moves to a little honey and fruitty and a subtle and smooth finish. Not as complex as I was expecting. Medium body and smooth as silk on the finish. Remarkably smooth. Pretty good.
4 out of 6
2. Stone smoked porter
A much darker beer mahogany in color with a ton of chocolate on the nose and a little woodsy. This is one dark offering. A lot of chocolate and really full bodied, with some smoke on the finish. Usually I really like smokey flavours, but this was not working for me. The chocolate and smoke did not work well together. The finish was dry and a little bitter hops. This was an interesting beer; and I usually like dark beers, but it tried to do too many things. The smokey flavour was too much for me.
3 out of 6; it would have scored higher without the smoke.

The Glenlivet 16 y/o Nadurra at cask strength. For any fans of floral note Single Malts, this is a must try!!!

I had Johnnie Walker Red Label neat today as it was a hard day....
I do enjoy enjoy single malts as well. Although, from time to time I will go back to the first scotch I ever had.

Today I've enjoyed a bottle of partial mashed homebrew. This a mild IPA. For being dryhopped, it has a surprisingly light nose. We added oak chips to the secondary for this one and it dows impart a nice flavor. Good stuff.

After a stellar day in the office (I left in the middle of the day) I am having an Elmer T Lee reserve and a homebrew red ale. I may have a couple more of each before the afternoon is over. :beer:

I tried some Laphroaig 10yo cask strength tonight. I thought it was great, but I can see why a lot of people would hate it.

I had a wee dram of this on Monday and thought it was great. Tuesday I poured some Jamesons into a snifter and enjoyed that with a Cohiba Siglo I.

i gotta post here more.

 

[Bloofington]

I know, me too. I'll start looking in on this thread more, and posting more hopefully, if time permits. For my Wednesday night hangout with a couple old friends, one from high school days, and with my body beginning to accept beer again, I raided my friend's fridge. He has a bunch of semi-powerful and powerful beers he bought for a former employee a few years ago, and they've been sitting in his fridge ever since.

The former employee's stash therefore, is now mine whenever I'm there. YEAH, BABY!!! I had an Orval 6.2% and a Westmalle 9.5%. I know the Westmalle was a Trappist Ale, and I believe the Orval had similar origins.

New Belgium Trippel after work, and just finished a Weihenstephaner Korbinian w/a Master Blends. The first was good, the latter was freakin great. I will be drinking a lot more of these.

[kuzi16]

not a single bottle of wine was under $35. 55 on the high end. this is usually out of my price range. i usually top out at around 25 or so.

i wish i could tell you all about them but i honestly dont remember the names . :wink:

 

[kuzi16]
