Just poured a glass of Mooi & Meedogenloos (a splendid beer that is a sort of cross between a Russian Imperial stout style and a classic stunning Belgian quadrupel) by Brouwerij de Molen.
Confession time. Today is the first time I've felt "normal" since my session on Saturday night. I don't think I'll be drinking that many high strength beers again any time soon.
Just in time for pre-Friday scrimmage.
[doublepost=1541073500][/doublepost]Mankind cannot not live on scotch, bourbon, vodka, and beer alone. I made pitcher of coquitos Sunday and finished it off last night.
Ha... That is funny. I have had a few of those nights.
I was able to snag myself a bottle of "Black Tuesday" by the Bruery. This years offering clocks in at 19.2% abv. The 2017 and 2018 versions were outstanding so I am expecting nothing less from this year. I was picked up a bottle of their Barrel-Aged Share This. This one comes in a little lighter at 13.5%. I have had this one a few times and boy is it tasty.
As for last night, I had one of my favorites, but rather hard to get in my neck of the woods, Wasatch's Polygamy Porter. So good, so smooth, and was perfect for the night.
Yes, I had wondered, I must admit, - about your capacity for copious consumption not to mention that of your recovery and recuperation, - when I originally read your post.
Today, I visited the excellent high end deli that is also where I buy my beers.
I had been appraised that a delivery of a crate - well two - of Curmudgeon's Better Half - is due on Friday, or perhaps this evening. Following a chat on the phone earlier in the week, it was agreed that I could have one of these two crates all to myself. I paid for it today, even though it has yet to arrive in the store. It shall be delivered, well, sometime soon.
Just this very minute, I have opened a bottle of a beer called Mooi & Meedogenloos from the Brouwerij de Molen, a sort of cross between an Imperial Stout and a Belgian quadrupel.
Easy for you to say!
Not as exotic as your tipple. Mine’s a Jack Daniels & Coke with ice. Lovely all the same.
For my third (and final) beer, I had ben debating between two from Founders: Breakfast Stout or Curmudgeon's Better Half.
No contest, alas.
No contest, alas.
My second beverage of the night is Curmudgeon's Better Half, from Founder's. This is described as an "old ale brewed with molasses and aged in maple syrup bourbon barrels."
It is sublime. It is also 12.7% abv, something, oddly, you don't really notice. At first.

Had a couple nice beers over the weekend:
BJ's Pumpkin Ale 2018 batch - it was a decent pumpkin ale, I actually liked the spice from 2017 better though.
Good Morning Skidrokyo - this was my second time having this stout and it is pretty darn tasty.
Founders Breakfast Stout - first one of the season and this batch is pretty darn good.

Yes, Founder's Breakfast Stout is pretty good, isn't it?
Bought a six pack of Pilsner urquel to keep in my fridge for a buddy.
