I caved...drinking my 1st meal (coffee, bacon, maple syrup and vanilla) from RAR

Kung Pao Shrimp. Was a good choice with this cold rain.

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.

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.

I need to find that one, which shouldn't be too hard around here lol.

[nw baltimore wx]

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.

Never had an Icelandic beer before...interesting

Lighthouse liquors is awesome.  Did you get that at Lighthouse?  I mean the beer, not the glass.

It’s interesting. It tastes fresh if that makes sense lol it’s brewed with Icelandic water

This sounds delicious but also worry may be too sweet for me. Does it get too much after few sips in?

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

Same with the vodka. Glacial water.

Is it hoppy?

Just my opinion, but coffee flavor in beer should be subtle.  It's such a dominant flavor that a little goes a long way.

A bit but it’s not overwhelming. 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

Yeah I agree. 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

@C.A.P.E.

Have you had this?

Yes. Tried their gin too. Good stuff.

[Baltimorewx]

Rounding out the night with bit of a macro basic but it’s an ok winter beer. Killing my stock of so so beers so I can refill with beers that are in my wheelhouse. if anyone wants to do a mailbox beer swap, I’m down! (Relatively close to Baltimore)

I know it’s cable and they have warnings but the frequency of f-bombs is whoa.  This is just after years of bleeping and errant microphones that they then apologize for.  I guess MJ and others saying it is ok. Lol

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.

On vacation this week. 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. A staycation it has became and I'll work on the yard and house.
