out enjoying a semicloudy day at heavy seas brewery herr in halethorpe, murrland.
we early af. but thass oook.

my chicken scratch says,
1. Blackbeard's breakfast imperial stout 10%
2. 30 yr storm american strong ale 11.5
3.red eclipse imperial stout with cherries.11
4. lost navigator hazy ipa 9.5
the 1st was ok. ive had it before.
no.2 was the best. wonderful mouthfeel. a sniff of hops.veryyy tasty. nice finish.
no.3 was better than expected. not big on fruity stuff but i like high abv beer. sooo. the cherries were quite subtle. a tad coffeish for my taste.
no.4 we always try this kinda beer in a flight. i will buy this more often. kinda the same class as flying dog 90 minute ipa. i like the 90 minute more. easy drinking. mild bite that finishes clean and dry. this is a on the citrusy side, of course.
sounds like we talkn wine, huh? i actually met the beer version of a sommelier a few years ago.
dude was making money [teaching] people how to drink craft beer. (can be meaningful. you can't chug a barrel aged imperial stout. you might, but.)and what food to pair stuff with. i was gobsmacked.
he had weekly events with 10 people max. was charging upwards of 150 per with beer and food included. he worked it from home during the week.
