Shane is drinking a Pliny the Younger (2024) by Russian River Brewing Company at Haus Of Toblerone
At first crisp, zesty and citrus pithy, quickly becoming musty and pungent, kind of basementy. After a Dreadnaught, contrast was stark. FFF still knocking it out.
Shane is drinking a Double Barrel Derivation (Double Willett Double Tanzanian) by Side Project Brewing at Circle K
Nose of waffle cones and vanilla caviar, taste is a massive oak escalation that dries and cleans up the decadence very suddenly, with a touch of campfire char, and a little heat. Like two different beers, dessert first, whiskey second.
Shane is drinking a Doublemex (2023) by Brew Gentlemen at Cadillac Coffee Co
Mexican coffee, including some chiles, exhaling some vanilla after a chocolatey roast. Best vintage I've had.
Shane is drinking a Rice Lager by Gold Dot Beer at Cadillac Coffee Co
These Cavs wtf. Crisp, dry, balanced bitterness, touch of white grape, not waxy, Koji seems to clean that up while reducing sweetness and letting hops exhibit a little herbalness.
Strong roasts meet VERY BERRY and a little booze. Touch peppery, touch peanutty chocolate, not quite PB&J, but nearing.
