nw baltimore wx Posted April 26, 2020 Damn. This thread is rockin' the food and drinks. I'm having a vodka martini with olives as an appetizer. No idea what dinner will be, but it might be liquid. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rvarookie Posted April 26, 2020 With winter being over, we have folks hugging corona model runs/updates each day to get their fix in. Guess they figured they can’t predict the snow, so may as well try to predict death rates and when it’s ok for folks to go outside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nw baltimore wx Posted April 26, 2020 I need to make a run to an eastern shore liquor store to get some beers not available over here on the wrong side of the world. Maybe we can get a nice day this week and my girl and I can bike the Blackwater loop and pick up a few cases. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it get too much after few sips in? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was pretty well balanced for me but I do like some of my beers a little sweet. The coffee is present but not overwhelming. The imperial stout flavors take over from there 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The imperial stout flavors take over from there Just my opinion, but coffee flavor in beer should be subtle. It's such a dominant flavor that a little goes a long way. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not an IPA fan so I was skeptical that I would like this. I don’t love it, because it’s not in my wheelhouse of beers, but I can drink it and it’s alright Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Key brewing made a beer recently with royal farms, cold rolled breakfasts stout. It’s just way too overpowering with the coffee, not sweet enough or other flavors, just a coffee bomb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wxdude64 Posted April 27, 2020 Watched my resident deer herd roll back thru this morning, grazing on the greens on the forest floor and low trees as they passed. Seven this morning, last night just before dark watched nine do the same heading back up the hill. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right now I WAS supposed to be in the air heading to Vegas to meet son and then pick up the rental car and head for Death Valley, Joshua Tree and Sequoia NP's for 10 days...... oh well, maybe next year.
