Got a equally spooky gin
View attachment 657551
Yes.
Actually, - to my mind - it's still yet months away, and will only be acknowledged when we are upon it - for one thing, we have barely passed the equinox and - while I am a believer in enjoying the early, mellow, stage of autumn, - I do not contemplate the approach of winter until we stumble into it. Unwillingly.
Very
The Magic Hat seems a bit early since it's not even October, however, it's terrific, so I'm glad it showed up now!
The gin isn't really a halloween thing (even with the kind of macabre name ...), it's a pretty well known micro out of Wisconson, the name is from a small stretch of water in the area:
Anyway, it's a very solid gin.
Well it's such a long time since I was in Wisconsin watching the Packers that I can't recall the name of the beer!Very

Some of our very best friends are from the area (they live here now), so I went out today and scored this for a present for them (they're more vodka drinkers)
Wow. What an extraordinary name - and rather apt for Halloween.
I'm pretty sure that I'd succumb to the temptation to purchase that myself.
Agreed.
You can not go wrong being aged on espresso beans.
Hm.
I am inclined to agree with you.
For plants or for alcohol such as beer?
Actually, I bought some beer to drink last night, but was too tired to do so, and headed off to bed early instead, sleeping soundly.
Goose IPA. https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1146/3968/
My first time buying this mass produced IPA. Quite enjoyable when chilled to near freeze levels. Fresh, crisp, sharp notes and a creamy mouthfeel. Moderate bitterness that quickly subsides except for a lingering taste and a hint of Tahitian vanilla on the finish. This was a completely random pick of choosing between two beers with my eyes closed. I don't let packaging cloud my judgement.

Speaking of Goose,,, their BOURBON COUNTY line of beers should be hitting the shelves soon! I hope I am able to get my hands on some this year!
A wonderful stout from the superb Buxton Brewery called "Extra Porter Guatemalan Coffee". Superb.
I have not found "Founders Breakfast Oatmeal Stout" on tap at three different locations and one of them being in Las Vegas! How I love this beer!
It is excellent, isn't it?
Actually, to my mind, it is by far the best iteration of this particular beer so far: I recall their version of 'Breakfast Oatmeal Stout', from last year, and I must say that it was nowhere nearly as good as this year's beer.
To find it on tap! Talk about either luck or... But holy smokes, I even had this for breakfast while on our trip to Vegas and yup, it tastes just as good in the morning as it does throughout the day!

Well, no, it is not on tap where I am.
But, I am more than content with being able to lay hands on bottles of the stuff.
And it can be consumed in the morning, too? How wonderful.
Sorry about that, I was more referencing the fact I found it on tap. Heck I haven't been able to get my hands on the bottles yet!
No, I'm not criticising - rather, I am delighted for you that you found it on tap. Enjoy your beer (on tap).
And, as for me, well, I shall pour a bottle - and raise a glass: Cheers!
Well, @rhett7660, they say that initiation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Thus, I am sipping a glass - poured from a bottle - of Founder's Breakfast Oatmeal Stout. And quite excellent, it is, too.

Let's blame the autocorrect rather than the Stout...

Damn, my glasses, and/or that autocorrect - for, of course, I never re-read my posts (unlike my emails), or subject them to scrutiny prior to hitting the 'hit' or 'send' button. Perhaps the screen of the 11" MBA might also be a culprit.....
You are quite right - 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' is what I meant to write.
The stout has been barely sipped, so it is not at fault - or, rather, not at fault, so early in the evening.....
