French Toast Bastard (Barrel Aged Series 2022) L
A Hibernian breakfast in a glass. French toast flavorprinf totally nailed, then add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dram of whiskey, and serve it up on a blackened Bourbon barrel stave. Plus the catamaran load in this boozy Wee Heavy. Nice! Cheers!

Grassy dry citrus peel oil zesty DIPA. Once this brew cascades over the hump, the pine plank buzzsaw starts spinning. Clothes dryer nose? The write-up says four DDH hops…guessing Citra and Cascade for two of ‘em. Nice, worth the trip! Cheers!

Catching an Apollinaris mineral water vibe in this orange vodka Spritzer. One of the 4 flavors from the Dogfish summer box. For me, not shabby. Seltzer-loving wife rated the whole box a miss…too cocktail-y. Clearing our fridge for a point. Cheers!

Strawberry & Honeyberry Vodka Lemonade L
Yet another pilferage from wife’s Seltzer stash…she bought these neo-cocktails on a whim and they’ve been languishing on her side of the fridge. Sweet, floral, lemony, with a rail-vodka mainline. Bet you’ll see one in a poolside cooler soon! Cheers!

Lovely dark amber hue in this rather bombastic 80 IBU bitter Westie ImpIPA. Brewmaster notes tout a 7 hop blend, I’m guessing Cascade is one of the main ones…a resinous green bud backside buzz. Echoes a bit at finish, and nicey so. Sourdough. Cheers!

Subterranean Morlock dark roast, fiesty tangy Bourbon barrel groove…cinnamon, java, and banana-bread spices sharpen the hop bite, while vanilla and malt work on the other side to soften it. Sippin’ adventures last until the bottom of the glass. Cheers!

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) L
Woof! Huge mouth explosion of flavors, then 11.5 ounces of sips left to try to figure out what the hell just happened. Big oak barrel, dark cherry, dusted rum balls, vanilla…and a gaping malt abyss. Laid down a few of these bad boys for later. Cheers!

Dogfish flagship IPA still delivers a solid piney front bite with a tropical citrus sideshow in this 2020 version. Drank my first on tap at their Rehobeth bar, this brew is a great pair for raw oysters, lemon, hot sauce, and sports on TV. Cheers!
