What are you guys drinking tonight?

Zombie Dust Pale Ale from Three Floyds Brewing in Munster, IN, thanks to my Wisconsin Brother for giving me a chance to sample this iconic brew. Aroma is citrus and bread. Taste follows nose with some piney dank added, also a little peppery. The malty bread flavor is prevalent throughout but picks up as it warms. Unlike the Tree House Julius this one just doesn't live up to the hype for me. The hop flavor is there but not the fresh profile I would have assumed, really nothing to stand it apart from dozens of other craft brewed pale ales I've tried. Not something I would buy, not unpleasant but nothing special for me.

 

finishing up the left over from friday night.

 

Red wine.

 

The wife and I killed a fresh bottle of Pinot Grigio with dinner. I feel pretty good. Night, nerds!

 

Strawberry French Toast DIPA from Decadent Ales, brewed and canned by Dorchester Brewing Co. Boston Mass. for Decadent Ales. Some fruity citrus aroma, it smells sweet. The flavor is spot on the name, some strawberry but mostly a syrupy, creamy, sweet French toast. Finishes up with a little bitter hop flavor that you expect in an IPA. First sip had me thinking the french toast was just too much but as I drink the hazy IPA flavor steps up, I think I like it, yep I like it. These guys are mad scientists of flavor!

 

Must have been a 1.5L bottle ???

 

Yea it was the big one

 

Long Trail Amber Ale, and Redemption Bourbon

Had a glass of red wine with dinner.

 

Reyka vodka, from Iceland via my freezer.

 

Pseudo Sue Galaxy dry hopped pale ale from Toppling Goliath Brewing in Decorha Iowa. Has a citrus aroma, some sweet peach in there as well. Flavor is a crisp citrus leaning to grapefruit but maybe some orange as well. There is a bit of peachy stone fruit popping up and then fading away. Unusual in that there is some sweetness for sure but then it is also a very dry but mild bitter that finishes it, a hint of that pine as well. Fine fizzy carbonation with that oily mouth feel, not as thick as it looks. Very easy to drink, wish I bought two, maybe three.

 

A good 'ol standby tonight...



but then I moved on to one of these...

 

Otter Creek (VT) “Drip Drop Coffee Stout.” Redemption Bourbon as a chaser.

 

Water all day to cure the damage done by 2 for $5 Busch lattes from the previous night
