Having a Deschutes Red Chair NWPA. Another fantastic release from Deschutes.
Evan Williams 1783. This one is a sweet, caramelly bourbon that is fairly delicate. This one demands to be taken neat, imo. Water or ice would blow out the flavor. I like it, a lot of bang for the buck, but I think it is probably for neat imbibers only.
Many hot dogs are within you.
I was cleaning out the last little bit in a few blends over the weekend and finished off my Chivas 18 and JW Blue.

Tried Rittenhouse Bottled in Bond Rye for the first time this weekend and was extremely impressed. Very nice flavor profile, very similar to a bourbon to me, and at $18 at Green's, it's a steal.

Rahr Snowmageddon Oatmeal Stout. Deeeeelicious.

Stone Collaboration Series w The Alchemist & Ninkasi - More Brown Than Black IPA.
This was decent. Reminded me a bit of the 15th anniversary from Stone. Not near as good, mind you...but pretty tasty!
Having a Kona Koko Brown this afternoon. Pretty darn tastey. A brown ale brewed with roasted coconut.
Last night I cracked open a bottle of the new Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon. Fantastic!

Having a Jester King Farmhouse Black Metal. An Imperial Russian Stout with Belgian yeast. JK is our new prized possession here in TX. They're doing great things. Not only are they making great beer, but they're getting old, stupid beer laws reformed in TX.
This beer is good. You may not know what a robust stout is until you try this one. Smoke, peat, anise, raw coffee bean, unsweetened chocolate, pepper, a huge earthy hop presence, and a bit of caramel sweetness to balance it all out...combined with a pretty big mouthfeel...make this a damn fine sipper.
Cool label too.

Tonight: A single shot of Westerhall Estate Vintage Rum, neat.
It's good stuff... local to Grenada. Runs about $30 US for a 750mL bottle but its worth every penny. Very smooth.

Black Maple Hill last night...daughter's 13th birthday dinner. Cooked some fantastically prepared (thanks, honey!) pork tenderloins on the Egg, and had my parents and sister over. Nice evening.

Two single malts last night. Springbank 10 and Ardbeg 10. Both nice and very different.
The winter boys... drinking heavy water from a stone.
The B&B'ers have been drinking well!
Tonight after plate of BBQ ribs, the Elijah Craig 12.
While the 18yo is a top 5 whiskey, the 12yo is nice and bourbony, a hot tasty bourbon pudding.
Home brewed Cream Ale. I wish I had started homebrewing so much sooner. It's a great hobby.

Have a question, PM a mod. That's why we're here!
Had my first try of Buffalo Trace the other night and thoroughly enjoyed it! I need to track down a bottle.
God bless, Bubba
