Cigar City Margarita gose. Green Man IPA. Took home a crowler of Wicked Weed German Chocolate Cake imperial stout.

How is the German Chocolate Cake Imperial Stout?

Abita Amber

I’ll let you know. I saved it for tonight.

Please. It sounds very interesting.

Good. But probably not that different from any chocolate coconut stout you’ve had.

plus I’ve been working outside all weekend and at 8.8% ABV, it’s kicking my butt.

I'm not a fan of coconut flavors in beers.

Went to a bottle share tonight, and the Bruery folks brought a vertical of Black Tuesday stouts (17-19). Super boozy at 19%+.

The Burial stout I brought was IMHO superior. Wish I had easier access to Burial. I trade for it regularly, at least.

The plant manager left a bottle of Rogue Dead Guy ale in my office fridge.

Nice. Did it disappear?

I tried the Drifter Brewing Company's Ocean Aged Triple in Cape Town last evening. Apparently, its matured on the Atlantic sea-bed near Cape Point.

It's still there. I forgot to grab it on the way out the door last night. Fortunately, there's Abita Purple Haze in the home fridge.

This sounds amazing. How was it?

I'm down to a bottle of Guiness Extra Stout in my fridge. It's time to go beer shopping again.

We went to Red Robin for dinner on Sunday. Mrs. Swede and I enjoyed a Sam Adams Octoberfest.

I need a beer after today!

The bar-tender at my hotel seemed very excited while suggesting it - the intriguing story and the novelty made it a must-try for me. The company claims that the temperature and darkness on the Atlantic bed is perfect for ageing beer.

It's a nice Belgian style Triple - very enjoyable. Would love to have it again but I haven't seen it outside SA.
