What beer did you drink today?

Last night I had a Parabola by Firestone Walker. Also, had a couple too many of their IPA's, the Union Jack. Was definitely feeling it this morning. :thumbs:
 
A Founders Breakfast Stout I found near the back of my beer stash. Probably been sitting for 2 years as I forgot I had it. Still pretty tasty.
 
I finished my last bottle of Kona Coffee, Macadameia, Coconut Porter (Stone, Maui Brewing Co, Ken Schmidt collaboration). Surprisingly, for sitting in the refrigerator for a year and a half, this bottle was still excellent. From what I read, it is supposed to be drank within a few months. Oh well, the wife was upset there wasn't enough room in the refrigerator with the bottles I had been keeping in there. Please tell me they plan on making more of this in the future!

Had a bottle of GF Le Freak yeseterday. Pretty unique. The hops cut the sweet fruitiness of the tripel midway through. Pretty smooth and drinkable.

Sounds like I might like that.

I had a Spaten Ocktoberfest that was not very good. Too bitter and not sweet enough, IMO.
 
Had a bomber of Deschutes Hop In the Dark. Still on the fence about Black IPA/American Black Ale/Cascadian Dark Ales/Whatchacallits. There is a ton of flavors going on there, not neccessarily good, but not bad either.

Another wonderful thing about living in Colorado Springs is the BEER. I picked up a case and a half of Yellow Kite by Bristol Brewing Co. A local company mind you, http://www.bristolbr...s.asp?brs_id=10. This is my favorite limited release, summer Pilsner.

Last night I had a bottle of Pike's Brewing XXXXX Extra Stout which I found peculiarly bitter. Got a roasty backbone with bitter cocoa and bitter dark roasted coffee and not much else. A little disappointed in that one. Right now I'm working on the first pumpkin beer of the not-here-yet fall season, Uinta Punk'n. Nicely balanced beer that doesn't smack you with over the top spices. Nicely mild beer that would probably make a good session beer for a nice fall afternoon.
