After a rough afternoon visiting three different Social Security Administration offices in the metro area, I headed to MRB’s house for a bit. Fortunately for me, the only beer in his fridge were a Heineken, a Stella Artois and a bottle of Captain Lawrence’s Smoke from the Oak: Wine Barrel (batch number 2.) Clearly there was only one course of action.
The porter poured a viscous black with minimal carbonation. The nose was funky as was the first sip. The tang of barrel aging was followed by rich coffee malt character, with just a slight hint of vinous notes in all the right places. The long finish was woody and earthy. Truly a stellar offering from the Captain. I’m definitely stashing a bottle away for a rainy day.
We just need to get something other than yellow beer into his fridge.

To be fair, those brews were left there by someone else. But yes, there was only one course of action.
That someone must be out to get you…
If you wanna talk about skeletons in the closet, I’ve got a Sam Adams Traditional Ginger Honey Ale that’s about two years out of date hiding in my fridge.
