Traveled West across the cities to have a beer from just East of home…

New Glarus Spotted Cow ale, a light taste from Wisconsin.

A quick shift to desserts and a #stout to match!

#octopiBrewing Belgian Chocolate Toffee Vanilla Stout is Heaven! Sumptuous rich vanilla chocolate nose, rich smooth and creamy, a delight!

Let the games begin!

Way outside my usual league with a #PortageBrewing New England DIPA. Big citrus hoppy, pairs well with the Smokey ribs and spicy chicken!

When reading about the aroma and flavor of beer, specific compounds or processes are named that are responsible for hop aroma, fermentation by-products and all kinds of aging effects. For off-flavors idem. For the typical malt derived flavor, though, this is rarely seen. Why?

It’s #stoutFriday after a day of a million things zooming past at high speed.

So let’s take a ride on the Speedway (Stout) from #alesmithbrewing

This brew-way has a roasty malty coffee and chocolate lead with sweet caramel notes as it warms and slight bite/bitter on the finish.

Keeping it local-ish for #stoutThursday with a North Shore brew - George Hunter stout from #castleDangerBrewing

A good basic stout with a smooth body and notes of coffee, chocolate, and licorice.

Giving up on the weather, time to enjoy some AGED barrel-aged delights.

#gooseIsland 2021 Bourbon County #stout has aged well, full-bodied with beautiful mellow bourbon and vanilla notes and a sweet brown sugar finish. Decadent!

Running out of ways to influence the weather, #stoutTuesday takes a shot with Snow Emergency #stout from #FultonBrewing. No signs it’ll work, but a good way to cap the day.

A nice basic stout with a clean roasty finish.

Wow wow I don’t drink coffee but NITRO Coffee Ale? Please and Thank You!

#surlyBrewing cuppa-Joe in a pint glass, huge coffee nose and a smooth body with a rich roasty finish. Drank it with some cheap chocolate for an extra treat!

Another entry in the vanilla theme but not a stout.

#lexingtonBrewing Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale is a lighter choice to pair with grilled brats on another 40 degree day in MN pseudo-winter.

Lightly sweet and creamy with a nice vanilla and almost honey-like finish.

Posted on the other place by #prairieAles, but with repeating!

I second that emotion! BOMB! is just that, big and flavorful, rich with cacao, coffee, vanilla and that elusive hint of chili 🌶️

#stoutFriday #itsalwaysstoutseason #stout @beersofmastodon

A bottle of Prairie Ales BOMB! Beer. Deep black with a dark caramel head. The label is white with red print and accents in yellow blue and red and brown

Well damn, yesterday’s holiday #stout did NOT convince Mother Narure to change her mind about MN winter. ❄️

Oh well, one #nitro deserves another, so #stoutThursday is #lefthandBrewing Milk Stout Nitro - all the roasty smoothness without yesterday’s mint.

Anyone jumped onto the "Black and Tan" thing?

Half an IPA with half of stout on top

I'll be interested to know

@beersofmastodon #beersofmastodon

pejacoby, 4 months ago to beersofmastodon

FORTY SEVEN degrees in MN in January 31? Maybe I can influence the weather with holiday #stoutWednesday ?

#lefthandBrewing Candy Cane Imperial Peppermint Milk Stout makes its final showing of the season. Unlikely to bend Lother Nature’s will, but still amazingly rich and smooth with a perfect minty sweet balance.

‘til next year!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Weekend!

Well we can wish, this afternoon was a very long day…

So let’s push it with #prairieAles Bourbon Barrel Aged Weekend

Bourbon, vanilla, cocoa, coconut, in a seeet full bodied pour. A hint of coconut and a 14.2% ABV to make the week go away…

So happy to finally try #revolutionBrewing Deth series! Continuing a vanilla theme, it’s Vanilla Deth imperial stout.

Turns out this is a 2021 can - it’s aged well with a vanilla malty nose and a smooth body. Vanilla caramel with a little kick on the finish to remind you it’s 13.6% ABV.

Watching the Ravens lose to KC. It’s not film noir, but it’s dark days for Baltimore…

So #stoutSunday pairing is #prairieAles Double Vanilla Noir barrel aged stout! Big vanilla lead with a lasting bourbon sweet finish. Rich and full-bodied.

You know those cookies you get on Delta? This is NOT that Biscotti!

#gooseIsland Bourbon County Biscotti Stout for #stoutFriday

Strong bourbon, licorice, and almond notes. Sweet and smooth, a delightful 14.3% ABV warmer!

It’s #stoutThursday and the weather here in MN has totally taken a Left Turn as we continue (nearly) snowless 2024!

Time for a Hard Left #stout from #spiralBrewery. Keeping it local but still snow-free, it’s a smooth slightly sweet brew with a light bitter and coffee finish.

#itsalwaysstoutseason #craftBeer @beersofmastodon

pejacoby, 5 months ago to beersofmastodon

More of an Old Fashioned than a stout, so it’s #quadWednesday

#boulevardBrewing Bourbon Barrel Barrel-Aged Quad is sweet cherry bourbon with a hint of bitters. A fave in this space!

#barrelAged #quadruple #craftBeer #oldFashioned @beersofmastodon

Pairing the remains of the beef and potatoes and carrots with a #murphys draught #stout. A proper dry stout, nitro smooth and malty finish. A perfect accompaniment!

#itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stoutTuesday @beersofmastodon

pejacoby, 5 months ago to beersofmastodon

My plating skills may be lacking but the chuck roast turned out nice!

Paired with #CentralWatersBrewing Satin Solitude #stout, a nicely balanced malty brew.

One big-ass Chuck Roast 🍖 has entered the oven for a 3+ hour slow cook with broth and vegetables 🥕 🥦 🧅 🍄

An #alesmithbrewing Speedway Stout will help pass the time (and watch the game)! Big chocolate and coffee opener, sweet notes of caramel #letItWarm

Closing out with #surlyBrewing CoCo Nitro Darkness, super smooth cocoa, deep and barrel- aged sweetness, really ending up as the favorite of the 2023 varietals!

Kids decided to stop by for dinner, so double the dragons in the cellar!

It’s a Peter Gabriel-esque dark side / light side show.

#NewHollandBrewing Dragon’s Milk Tales of Gold bourbon-barrel aged Golden Ale. Like a light quadruple with sweet bourbon notes. Delightful.

Bats in the belfry?
Dragons in the Cellar!

#NewHollandBrewing Dragon’s Milk bourbon barrel-aged stout for #stoutFriday

Roasty malt with smooth chocolate and coffee notes. #letItWarm to reveal more flavors of vanilla and bourbon.

Let them eat CAKE for #stoutThursday!

#untitledArt barrel-aged German chocolate cake pastry stout opens with a big cherry chocolate nose and a barrel slap from the 17% ABV(!). Sharp yet smooth in a deep black full bodied pour.

Dessert before dinner again? Yes please!

It’s been dangerously cold if you aren’t dressed for it.

#CastleDanger George Hunter stout provides sustenance against the cold and wind 💨 🥶 And it’s from MN!

Roasty flavors of coffee, chocolate and caramel as it warms. Nicely balanced.

No work today but did my brain let me sleep in? Of course not! Do I need help to stay awake? Not really, but…

#surlyBrewing Nitro Coffee Ale is big on the coffee, smooth from the nitro. The kind of beer that makes my wife question why I do NOT drink coffee (never have).

Oh damn, it’s SUNDAY. I missed Brunch, but good thing @lefthandbrewing is here to with this French Toast milk #stout!

Smooth maple vanilla lead with a nice pop of caramel on the finish. Not too sweet but perfect for a cold day dessert.

#stoutSunday #itsalwaysstoutseason @beersofmastodon

pejacoby, 5 months ago to beersofmastodon

We didn’t get much snow but it’ll be a #stoutSunday Snow Emergency anyway.

#fultonBrewing Snow Emergency #stout is a basic stout, mild malty flavor and a tiny bitter note but nothing that stands out. Very drinkable but unremarkable.

#itsalwaysstoutseason #craftBeer @beersofmastodon

I love my kids…

Urgent Phone Call!

We have spotted the Surly Ginger Snap 2023 at the local liquor store, how many cans do you need?

This weather brings the colorful language to the surface - aye, it’s a right shite cold fugarwey!

Perfect time for a #dirtyBastard scotch ale from @foundersbrewing - malty caramel sweetness to shake off the chill!

#craftbeer @beersofmastodon

pejacoby, 5 months ago to beersofmastodon

To and from the airport in our first significant snow of the year, thank you #EvenMoreJesus for getting us home!

#evilTwinBrewing makes this banger of an #imperialStout, huge coffee, chocolate, dark sugary and caramel sweet notes in a thick rich body.

#stoutFriday #itsalwaysstoutseason #craftbeerbar @beersofmastodon

pejacoby, 5 months ago to beersofmastodon

Much better with a #deschutesbrewery Obsidian stout. Coffee and hints of chocolate with a slight bitter finish.

#stoutThursday #itsalwaysstoutseason #stout @beersofmastodon

For #stoutThursday Had to try again in case I just had a bad can, but the sour note is still there and Injave to hope this is just a bad batch.

Sorry #brooklynBrewery this #blackOps #Stout is going down the drain…

Bought some news glassware but had no idea they’d force my (left) hand for #stoutWednesday

Glasses made in collaboration with #leftHandBrewing deserve a Left Hand brew! Last can of Candy Cane nitro imperial peppermint milk stout. Creamy smooth with a lovely balance of mint and malt.

#untitledArt Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Pastry Stout is big sweetness with chocolate and peanut at the fore. Grab some jelly and share one with a fellow cookie lover!
