Just picked up a Pliny and an Enjoy by 10.31.14 today. It's like the Holy Grail of fresh hops!
I have this sitting in my kitchen waiting for me. but my local brewpub is having their octoberfest celebration this week, I didn't know I could hold so much beer.pelliott wrote:Just picked up a bottle of this (which looks/sounds good as FUCK)

I really really really really want to try this. Can't remember why my friend's shop didn't get any in - I don't think they do, either. Hopefully they'll get some before its gone...pelliott wrote:Just picked up a bottle of this (which looks/sounds good as FUCK)

What did you think of it? I had some this weekend, and I thought it was delicious. A bit thin, but it was like drinking a cinnamon churro.pelliott wrote:Just picked up a bottle of this (which looks/sounds good as FUCK)
I was at a wedding this weekend and pretty much only drank bourbon and Breakfast Stout, so no complaints, but I'll probably crack it this week. I've been going crazy tracking down pepper/spiced stouts recently and so I'm really looking forward to it. Love the Mexican Cake/Abraxas style of pepper heat + chocolate.Joe Gress wrote:What did you think of it? I had some this weekend, and I thought it was delicious.

It was delicious, dry and earthy like no other, but otherwise extremely refreshing. The chilies and cocoa flavors took a backseat to the dryness and slight vanilla flavor, the chili flavors do linger a lot longer, however. No alcohol flavor as I recall. Poured extremely dakr with a surprising light-colored head. I want another now...Joe Gress wrote: What did you think of it? I had some this weekend, and I thought it was delicious.

The next one I drink I'm making french toast to go a long with it.Inconuucl wrote:Joe Gress wrote: I want another now...
Have you had Hunahpu? My friend bought a bottle of Xocoveza a couple weeks ago, dropped it in front of us, and it shattered, and it smelled a fair bit like Huna, so I'm wondering how it stacked up. Now that it's cooling down I need as many pepper stouts as possible on my beer shelf.Inconuucl wrote:It was delicious, dry and earthy like no other, but otherwise extremely refreshing.
