BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Beer O da day!

KS got Deschutes today so I am drinking some Inversion IPA
Having Orval. This beer is freaking weird. Its got the citrusy and hoppy flavors I was expecting but it has a yeast flavor that is like wheat bread almost. Weird flavor I haven't had in another beer before. The bowling pin shaped bottle is really awesome.
Galaxy White IPA - incredible, one of the best beers I've had this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Southern Tier Creme Brulee (Imperial Milk Stout) - too sweet for me, waaaay too syrupy sweet....:barf:
Coney Island Human Blockhead - I swear i picked up hints of the buffalo trace barrels it was aged in. fine beer.

Some BOTL O' Beer, the great Hurley edition, and '12 KBS last night with a 09 La Verite; thanks Justin!
This afternoon, a glass full of Rochefort 10....always enjoyable! Pairing nicely with an El Gran Rey robo, thanks Max!

Matt, is that what I think it is? Ooooh boy.....betcha can't smoke just one.:eyepoke:
This afternoon, trying another new one.... in fact brand new. Hopping Frog Brewery's Sweet Evil Beglian-Style Barleywine Ale, the consensus at the Leaf is... "I'd drink it again." Smoking the '11 JGRELE Shade grown, tasty stogie goes well with the beer.

Actually had this a couple days ago, I thought it was fantastic especially for 6%. Liefmans also makes Fruitesse which is a very mellow 4% fruit beer instead of a sour but it has a ton of cherry/raspberry flavors. It pairs amazing with white and dark chocolates. If you like the Cuvee-Brut I would HIGHLY recommend trying some Fruitesse and doing a desert pairing with it.
Started with a Curmudgeon's Old Ale and then Curmudgeon's Better Half. Working on a short review of each. Just posted, please read.

Drinking a week in the bottle Grodziskie. Very interesting type of beer. I'm not sure how much it is like the original that ceased production in the 90s, but I am a fan of the flavor big time. You have to be a fan of smoked beer to appreciate this brew. It's made with 100% oak smoked wheat malt and has about 35ibus. Normally smoke and bitterness doesn't mesh well but this unique 4.5% abv brew has hop flavor and when combined with the smoke flavor it makes a rather refreshing beer.

Some beers I had over the weekend...
Spices at first then lemony hops with a slightly tart finish. I loved it :hearteyes
2009 Wake-n-Bake... Coffee calmed down but still very pronounced.
Phenominal old ale! I can see now why it always gets so much high praise.
The banana flavor wasn't as pronounced as I was hoping for.
Nice wheat beer, hit the spot after some higher abv beer.

That sounds terrible. Tough even for cigars and beer to make that situation better!!!
