#stout

Tonight’s theater at #theatreInTheRound was The Great Gatsby. Tales of money, decadence, bad outcomes, and booze Oh look, #dragonsMilk Triple Mash BBA #stout 17% Decadent in all the right ways. Bourbon, oak, dark notes, complex I’ll take my chances, Daisy 😎 #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #beer

All this context switching make me grumpy, said Toad Sorry what? I was multitasking, said Frog <…> replied Toad… Focus! #itsAlwaysStoutSeason with #boulevardBeer Whiskey Barrel #stout Smooth with barrel notes and a slight bitter finish #frogAndToad #beer

Closing #stouturday with #lupulinBrewing Night Witch 2025 Is this the BEST imperial #stout of them all? Black as night, full-bodied and syrupy, bourbon lead, dark chocolate, brown sugar, dark fruits, vanilla, molasses, oak. Enchantingly complex! #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer

How about this weather, said Frog Cool nights and RAIN, said Toad It’s the bomb, said Frog, the Bomb! 💣 #PrairieAles BOMB! Coffee, chocolate, hint of vanilla and a snap of chili to heat the finish. Let it warm! #GoodSleepingWeather #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout #frogAndToad #beer

Starting #stouturday with light fare, laundry, and wardriving. Reverse order, of course. #destihlBrewery Moonjumper milk #stout A basic milk stout, malty chocolate with a bit of sweetness. Silky mouthfeel but a bit thin. #beer #wardrive #chores

#hereBeDragons Spotted from a distance, the elusive #dragonsMilk Triple Mash was nesting only 15 minutes from my Minneapolis destination today! Engage! So good! Rich boozy body, a lighter 17% ABV this year, flavors of chocolate, malt, vanilla, oak. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout

When the wife buys a new picture and wants it hung, the Deadline is NOW. 6 foot by 4 foot, gotta find the proper height above the couch and carefully center… it’s done! My reward is #taxmanbrewing Deadline apple cinnamon Belgian style BA #stouturday The cinnamon pops, the apple is tart, it’s a Belgian at its core, not too sweet, little spice in the finish #stout #craftBeer #belgian

My wife made banana bread, I bought banana beer. Coincidence? I think not! #imprintBeerCo Gluttony Massive! Syrupy rich body, chocolate and maple, big sweet banana notes and a slight bourbon finish. Dessert sweetness #itsalwaysstoutseason #craftBeer #stout #sevenDeadlySins

Another #tavour selection, it’s #evilTwinBrewing so it caught my attention Jarnit Family Beer Syroût Interesting turn on a stout, fruity plum opener, hints of chocolate and dark pepper. Hides its 12% ABV well in a creamy body with a tart finish. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #stout

I was gonna complain about something but then I Deth’ed and went to heaven. #revBrewChicago Dethurana barrel aged imperial #stout OMG! An amazing flavor profile, cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, all spice, coconut, rich BA body. Amburana wood for the win! Wish I’d bought more…a LOT more #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #heavenly

A noisy day of in-the-office hubbub, nothing too Bombastic. But I don’t shy away - get me home to #bombasticBrewing Psychopomp Maple Bourbon Barrel Aged Coffee Imperial #stout They did it again, a delightful blend of smooth coffee lead with a rich bourbon and maple body and a dark roast finish. If this is the Afterlife, I’m gonna stay a spell! #craftBeer #itsAlwaysStoutSeason

Work event at Brit’s Pub in Minneapolis. When at the Irish bar, ya gotta Guinness. And Brit’s ESB was mighty fine too. A bit toasty lawn bowling, but a cold beer made it bearable! #guinness #stout #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #britsPubMpls

Cast a spell and remove this heat, would ya? Thank goodness it’s been in the high 60F’s overnight. #voodooBrewing Big Black Voodoo Daddy Bittersweet coffee forward stout, smooth with a hoppy finish. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout

I say #itsAlwaysStoutSeason but even I may need to tap out today. 93F air temp plus 75% humidity feels like 96F. And we are going to 96F by dinner time. Sadly, I’ll stay inside with my 2024 #GooseIsland Macaroon #stout Chocolate with big hits of ginger and bourbon even 2+ years on the shelf. Tingly with a nutty ending. #stayHydrated #summertime #craftBeer #heat

Issues and troubleshooting plumbed the deepest depths this week. Team work kicked ass, and we made it through. Time to chill with #ModistBrewing Deepest Depths rum barrel aged #stout Big and rich, syrupy chocolate and dark fruit body, hints of molasses and a sweet rum finish. #drinkLocal #craftBeer

Spent all day chasing one side of a problem, not knowing the OTHER side was the REAL cause of the problem. I suppose it’s the Dark Star you don’t see at first…at least it’s solved! #FremontBrewing Dark Star imperial oatmeal #stout Dark and roasty, coffee body with a slight bitter finish. Like my day. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason

Well this day blew up bigly… Take a break (more fallout to come) with a #prairieales BOMB! #stout Bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, make a rich body with a zingy chili heat finish. Let it warm! #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer

Between #wwwd outings had some family time and a few beers were shared. #badWeatherBrewing Sweater Weather (it is not, but it’s too good to skip) #ferndaleProject Dubai Afterdark #stout - not rich enough for the moniker, but nutty #sullivans Maltings Irish Ale / delightful #sundayBeers #family

Sometimes you want a tart slap and an acidic attitude. In a BEER that is. I do not give relationship advice. #revBrewChicago Deth by Bramble - Rich tart berry acidity, deep chocolate, hints of oak and a bourbon snap make for a fabulously complex relation. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stouturday #stout

Found out I actually have TWO Crème Brûlée #stout in the fridge. This one from #Kuhnhennbrewery isn’t great - Sweet yet bitter, the toffee main note is burnt, blotting out the richness of the coffee. Burned it… Saving the other for another day. #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #wwwd #wardrive
