Mom always told me, "drinking kills brain cells." Dad always added, "...but only the weak ones." After I started studying Biology, I tended to think of drinking as adaptive "thinning the herd." Alas, w./ age, I fear that I'm "exceeding maximum sustainable yield." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Local spot finally got CBS in. $25. I realize that's fair market, but I didn't pull the trigger. They had at least 5 of them on the shelf. I might go back. Got a mixed sixer of IPAs instead. I'll report back if any are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid 23.99 for a bomber of CBS yesterday. I have serious doubts as to whether I have what it takes to appreciate it, but I look forward to trying! So what's the best way to drink this thing? I'm not much of a sipper, but I will try to be for this one. They also had Good People El Gordo. Any thoughts on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I haven’t had CBS, you definitely want to let it come up in temp out of the fridge. It’ll “open up” for you better. I haven’t had that GP either, but I haven’t had anything bad from them. Hang out out a bit. Bad influence will show up in spades. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Refuge 6,662 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Had an Avery Vanilla Bean Stout tonight. No pic. Defreakinglicious. Nova Vert(formerly Opus Vert) IPA. I think this is my favorite Parish Pale Ale. Great balance of citrus and malt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,362 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Coworker’s BIL works at Ithaca brewing and procured a BBA stout so new it doesn’t even have a label yet. Coworker was gracious enough to give me one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Had some Weller 12 last night. Better than I remember. Also had wine, an Elysian Space Dust or whatever it's called, soju, JD, limoncello, more wine... Honestly don't understand why I don't have the worst hangover ever today. Went back and got that CBS Friday. Thinking we'll pop that tonight. Happy Christmas Eve, all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,147 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Wife stuffed my stocking with two Westy 12s, a Lindeman's Framboise, a Westmalle tripel, a Chimay Blue, a Rochefort 8 and a Black Note. Big daddy came over to give his grandgirls their gifts. We split the Black Note. Shocks' review nailed it. Tasted nice, body and complexity left a bit to be desired. Not that I mind. I feel pretty festive right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,362 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Absolutely delicious carmenere. One of my favorite varietals. If you love big cabs and malbecs, carmenere is for you. Great melding of the two varietals with huge flavors and vegetal(green pepper). Tannins are mild to medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
