A change of pace from the darker beers of late - Deschutes Fresh Haze IPA. The fruit background with a hazy/malty flavor was enjoyable.

It is not to cold for a beer as the beer is not freezing. Yet.

Visited the local liquor store on my way home. Guinness, Deschutes, Omni, Surley and Lagunitas were beers I picked up. My beer refrigerator is better stocked. I arrived home and feel obliged to sample a Deschutes Obsidian Stout. Excellent beer from the first sip. I also have some Deschutes Black Butte Porter and I am curious to compare them.

Last night was the right time to open Rock Town's Apple Pie Lightening recently gifted by Rusty @RBH. Breaking the seal brought an aroma of tart apple & cinnamon, much like a candle. Since I drink most everything neat that's how I poured a couple of drams. Light golden color much like apple juice. Taste upfront was that of a tart or sour apple & cinnamon; Jolly Rancher apple candy. Smooth with no taste of alcohol, no burn. Aftertaste brought a taste of apple strudel; naturally sweeter still with no burn. With my second pour I added a few ice chips to help calm the artificial cinnamon down, & much preferred it to neat. Distilled at 20% ABV/40 proof makes it very drinkable. Might be idea in a cocktail like an appletini. Thanks again Rusty! I will definitely look for a Rock Town retailer for the White Lightening.

Thanks for the review of the imfamous Rock Town.

This morning it was breakfast in the chocolate brown Gannon. Always pairs well with a Hunter Green shirt & tan suede coat.

Mmmmm! More exotic beer to source.

Home this evening and sipping a Laguntas Willetized Coffee Stout. Willet Distillery had bourbon and rye in wood barrels before Lagunatas put Imperial Stout in them. The result is this black bodied stout with a strong bourbon and coffee flavor. Smooth and thick with only a partially hidden ABV warmth. For a snowy and cool evening it is a darn near perfect pour and sip.
