Package from CO

Thanks to a package from fret, I had a great weekend of beer enjoyment. Package included:

2 bottles Odell 90 Shilling
1 bottle Old Leghumper
1 bottle SN Celebration
1 can Paulaner Old Munich
1 can Old Chub

All were great! See my tasting notes on the 90 Shilling.

The Old Leghumper was a wonderful beer. The smoked malt gave a wonderful flavor without making think I'm drinking bacon like a rauchbier. The chocolate malt made this one a real pleasure.

This is the first time I've had a Celebration - good stuff.

My thoughts on the Paulaner are here

The Old Chub was a great scottish ale. Wonderful malty flavor without getting too sweet. Worth a try if you can find it.

I got my Colorado care package as well. Popped the Titan IPA yesterday cause I already had a bomber in the fridge, but that was the only one in the box I could get locally. Had the Spring Bock from Fort Collins Brewery tonite with dinner. I'd go thru the motions of describing every little detail of that beer but I'm NOT. I just drink what I like and don't drink the swill.

Well, keep in mind what you like and can't get locally and we'll talk again.

hmmm... so did that bottle go from Zinzinnati to Mile High to Looziana? hehe!

That's a pretty cool ridr for that bottle if it did. I really enjoyed that brew. I'm considering adding some smoked malt to a porter recipe sometime soon.

Well, I had to share the love with a fellow porter lover, and I was down to my last two, and I said what the heck...
