It does taste good, but my first thought when trying a new quad is "how does this stack up to Rochefort 10?" My first thought isn't that it doesn't come close in flavor but that it simply isn't the same style. It doesn't taste like a quad. It's not complex enough, the mouth feel is wrong, and there's way too much cherry. I can see how a year of aging could be very beneficial to this beer.

2012 Cab.

Damn fine for the price, particuallarly when it rolls on top of the Dale's Pale Ale 6-pack that went down real smooth while collecting firewood today.

An exceptional CO day today even by the higher weather standards of these parts.

BEAT STATE!!!!!!  WHY NOT!!!!  COME ON BOYS!!!!!!!!

I found Schlitz Malt Liquor 16oz cans on blowout for $3.96 per 6 pack.  If you've never seen the ads from the 70's - I beg of you to go watch them.

The flavor?  It tasted like it was brewed with candy corn and pencil top erasers.  But I had a good time chugging it while watching some classic ads.

Finishing a growler of Quinnan Falls from Bell's. Just listened to my high school alma mater, Mona Shores, blow out Muskegon 48-27 for the OK Black Conference championship.

Red Bull, Coffee and Diet Coke.  I have a lot of studying to do tonight, so I'm stuck in the library with those tonight.

However, I did pick up a 6 pack of Expidition Stout earlier today, so I'm excited to have one of those when I finally get home.

I joined Untappd a month ago, now sadly I realize how little I drink. I think I'm drinking Shiraz at the tailgate tomorrow. More alcohol, less pee drinking wine.

Funny story. Ballast Point makes Yellowtail Ale. it's a Pale Ale, I don't really care for it much. apparently a wine company sent their lawyers over there to tell Ballast Point to stop with their beer because they have the patent. but it turns out BPt got there first, so they had the rights to "Yellowtail". so they give up the term to the wine co and get a boatload of money in exchange. Ballast Point just opened a new place that is absolutly beautiful and huge... moved from its little place and has a place that locally will rival (sort of) Stone's Place. from what i understand, it came from that Yellowtail thing. Anyhow, I hope the wine is good.

yellow tail wine is a decent sam's club cheap-o wine, not fancy like you and your microbrews.  i have toyed with the idea of growing grapes on the farm and we have an acceptable climate for it, but there is only so much time in the day.

how was the neighborhood soccer game, and please tell me you didn't spill our beer as you chased the kids down the street in rancho bernardo (or thereabouts)?
