Maisel's Weisse Dunkel. First time I've tried it and it good but not weihenstephaner good.

Tonight, while I help my wife get ready for the onslaught of three kids with their spouses, and 5 grand kids... chopping stuff and setting up tables etc... I'm having a Sam Adams. Once we're done, I don't know if I'll have scotch or just shower and got to bed. Bed sounds good.

A colleague that was here from Austria goes home this weekend and couldn't take his booze with him, so he gave me a couple mayflowers and a bomber of Wailing Wench. My god is this stuff good. 8%, pretty hoppy but a ton of raisin flavor is what I get. Really good beer.

WHERE'D YOU GET MAISEL'S?!?!?!


I had that in Austria but cannot find it anywhere stateside.

If whoever you got Maisel's from also has Edelweiss (the light and the dunkel) try that. Best beer I have ever had.

It is one of just a few wheated bourbons out there, and just about the only one that is readily available. The wheat and, therefore, lack of rye, make it a sweet expression with less of the floral and peppery notes that rye contributes and more of a nutty flavor from the wheat.

The men and women of weihenstephaner have figured out a thing or two in the 1000+ years of brewing

Founder's Dark Penance.

The West'er Vitus was voted the best beer in the world. Lagunitas and West'er did a collaboration called Doppelweizen. IMO, that truely was the Best Beer of All Time. The taste of Vitus has changed and is somewhat like the Doppelweizen now.

True but there was a harshness that was unpleasant and got in the way of the flavor. I can drink Buffalo Trace and Bulleit neat and swish them in my mouth take my time to really appreciate their characters, though I prefer a teaspoon of water. Even with water Makers was a bit unpleasant and I found myself swallowing it down faster than usual. I'll try it again one day.

And see I go the other way with those choices.
I can drink Makers Mark and enjoy it WAY too much.
While Bullet & Buffalo Trace taste only a little better than Jack Daniels Old No.7

This was me yesterday after Thanksgiving lunch. My poor, yet supremely delicious Lagavulin 12 became empty =(



I opened a Lagavulin 16 to help cope with my loss.

I did get a few bottles in the mail this week though.



I am a Kilchoman fanatic. Youthful spirits but damn is it good. The 2007 Vintage is their best stuff yet and it's great stuff. I am going to share the rest of my opened bottle with my friends next time we have a tasting. The other 3 bottles are the 2nd through 4th edition 100% Islay, which uses barley they grew at Rockside Farms where the distillery is located.



The trend continues lol. Only 6000 bottles of the Port Cask were made available. 110 proof and only 3 years old. I haven't opened this one yet but it's the next one on deck. The Red bottle was aged in a bourbon cask for 4 1/2 years and finished for 2 months in a sherry butt. I'm expecting great things for this one.



The Young Bladnoch is bottled at 123 proof, and young so I'm expecting this one to be a bit rough. The Signatory bottle is the next up in our group tasting. 15 year 9 month old Laphroiag aged in a Sherry Butt bottled at 118 proof. Really tempted to open this one and keep for myself and order another bottle.

The Bruichladdich is similar to the 100% Islay edition in that the barley was also grown at Rockside farm, but the rest of distillation process happened at their distillery.

Last up was the 2014 Loch Garm, which has been opened and is fantastic. Briney, seaweed, fruity, and ashy smoke.

Scotch is fun.


I'm a deplorable.

Finishing up the 6 pack of Hacker-Pschorr Weisse (which was the only decent German beer available at the liquor store near my parents' house).
