Dude! That looks great.Thegreenchilemonster said:I started cracking the first of my home brewed chocolate milk stout this weekend. It's ridiculously good. Next time I'll use 6 ounces of cocao nibs, instead of just 4. I gave out a few to coworkers and neighbors, and everyone loves it.
I love the glass too.
Old Raspie ... heavy.
I didn't know what to expect from this one, since I'm not the hugest fan of rye IPA. My goodness, it's good! The one thing that threw me off is all of the chunks of yeast/trub in it. I mean, I know they like unfiltered beers in Vermont, but most of the ones I've had have been hazy, not with hundreds of little floating chunks in it. It really detracts from the overall appearance, but I slammed it anyway, because it is so ridiculously delicious.
Sipping some Other Half IPA (no fancy name just their orig)
Actual yeast, or colloidal proteins (floaties)?
It does look like yeast ... kind of yuk yuk ...
I don't like yeast ... prefer floaties given my druthers ...
Both piss me off.

IDK, maybe colloidal proteins. There is a ton of carbonation bubbles streaming off of each larger chunk. I doubt it's the visual effect the were looking for in the beer. Maybe it was originally hazy, and the haze coagulated. It's a damn fine beverage aside from that though.grantmichaels said:
I figured I would love this one, since I dig several of their other beers. Definitely not. There is a weird metallic flavor, that I don't like at all. I tried several drinks too, and got the same off flavor each time. Very minimal to almost non existent roasty aroma that I love in stouts.
Decent saison. Very musky aroma, just the way I like my saisons. Not as dry as I would like, and under carbonated. I would definitely drink it again, but not buy it again.

Every drink has to made up once.
Lol, every time I comment on GS post, it drops it as a quote on my last post. Hopefully this post fixes it.

You must be drinking a double IPA.
TGCM forgot how to use the forum!
lol
Hahahahaha! I may be a bit tipsy, but I drunk post on here frequently, so this is a serious lapse in posting skills.
