    As I'm starting to write this comment, I'm about half way through my second beer.
    And it's quite yummy.

    So hows about I tell yous about it?
    Yeah?
    ok

    Beer #2:
    [​IMG]
    (Alc. 8.1%)
    (Connecticut Valley - Star Gazer)

    Smells: Lemon/Lime citrus and slight pith precede distant pine.

    Tastes: Sweet lemon/lime citrus with a stone fruit afterthought, that itself is daydreaming about dry pine notes.

    Overalls, Star Gazer gives great head! Not just foamy and smooth head, but head that accentuates the sweeter notes of this brew! The more I drink it, the more I realize how good of a beer it is. Tasty shit, man.

    ...

    And there was picture time.

    Did I find something decent?
    Something that matches?
    Or not so great of a mtach?

    Or maybe I gave up and am about to say nevermind.

    Or, I already found a pic.

    And it's this one, right here:

    And then there was none... or the last one... or number 3... or whatever

    Beer #3, bitchez:
    [​IMG]
    (Alc. 9%)
    (Sixpoint (and Victory) - Cosmic Handshake)

    smellerin: Nectarine and a bit of mango, with a subdued funky edge.

    tasterin: Nectarine with a distant touch of mango. Paltry pine permutations. All wrapped up in a pleasantly puckered package.

    overallin, give this shit a try if you get a chance. Unless you hate sour shit. Otherwise, it's a crisp, clean sour brew worthy of some amount of attention. If I had to use one element to describe this, I'd go with sour nectarine.

    Oh yeah!
    This pic thing!

    (I didn't really forget. But I acted it out so aweomse right there that you totally believe me.)

    Umm.
    The pic is...
    umm.. (what was I doing?)


    Oh yeah!
    Cosmic shit!

    And a pic to match!
    Like, this one:

    Yo, sup my peeps?
    How's shits and giggles?

    But seriously... I'm just stopping by because it's been 3 freakin weeks since I last spat out some reviews.
    And I don't want y'all to think I forgot about yer sexy little selves!

    I'm hoping for a good night next weekend.
    I got scratch offs for Father's Day and I'm planning on spending it all (like, $60) on one beer, if I can find something like that.
    I can't really justify spending that kind of money when it's regular money, but money that's specifically for splurging on myself?
    Absolutely.

    Anywayz, I'm gonna head out again and try to get to gaming soon.
    (Probably going to play some more SCUM... maybe Elder Scrolls... or something else... I don't know.)

    In the meantime...

    Hey fuckers!
    I'm back with that beer!
    Or rather, beers... I ended up with two instead of one.
    (And spent ~$54 of the $60 on them)

    Let's see how it goes!

    Beer #1:
    [​IMG]
    (Alc. 11.5%)
    (Birrificio Baladin - Lune (2012))

    Smell - grape skins and raisins lead the way with this oak based ale. With notes of vanilla woven through very distant hay.

    Taste - A crisp, clear entrance leads through raisin notes, caramel, and oak. Vanilla and distant hay fade in and lead out.

    Overall, this is a rather pleasant ale! It's sweet, but not too sweet. In fact, all of the notes and qualities are well balanced. (And it leaves your lips tasting sweet like the way clove cigarettes used to during that one phase you had)
    And there's basically no head or carbonation at all. It really looks like something halfway between brandy and good apple cider, but drinks more like a brandy and/or bodiful wine.

    ---

    No pic again.
    Maybe next one.

    As always, feel free to provide one of your own!!

    Ok.
    Done with that very smooth and pleasant first experience.
    Time to find out if I saved the better beer for second!

    Beer #2:
    [​IMG]
    (Alc. 12.8%)
    (FiftyFifty - Eclipse, Salted Caramel)

    Smells: Coffee notes fading into caramel. Very faint nose.

    Tastes: Black coffee rolls in with a pleasantly punctuating salty base, tempered with a gentle wave of oaky bourbon that apparently blended with caramel sometime in its past.

    Overalls, as is my wont, this is not a gulping brew. Take your time, especially with the saltiness of this thing. It's not going to knock you out, but it's definitely present. Pleasant, but maybe better to share a bottle than all of it to your own gullet. Good shit though.

    So.

    You didn't think I'd let the night go without at least one hottie, did you?
    No, of course not!

    I mean, she really doesn't have anything to do with the beer.
    But, I figured you deserved a pic anyway.

    Yeah?

    Yeah.

    So, here yous go:
