We celebrated the #4thofJuly with Mom's Spaghetti, an #American Wild Ale style #beer brewed by @MikerphoneBrewing in Elk Grove Village, IL. 4.00 out of 5.00 on @beeradvocate. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✶✶✶✶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This Wild Ale w/ Cherry, Cranberry, Raspberry & Black Currant from Mikerphone has a 6.5% ABV. It slams you in the face with fruit flavor. The 4 fruits are all prevalent in flavor, balancing well with the mild AVB. It’s definitely summer-crushable! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✶✶✶✶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thebeernation #saynotoordinarybeer #drinkcraftbeer #drinkcraft #drinkgoodbeer #craftbeer #craftbeerphoto #craftbeerlove #craftbeernerd #craftbeernation #craftbeerlover #craftbeerlife #craftbeergeek #craftbeerculture #craftbeerjunkie #beertographer #beertography #beerphoto #brewtography #brewtographer #ipa #americanipa #doubledryhopped #dryhopped

Firestone Walker brewing

La Pinguina En Fuego is a American Double / Imperial Stout style #beer brewed by Clown Shoes in Ipswich, MA. with a 11.00% ABV. It has a 4.12 out of 5.00 on @beeradvocate. La Pinguina En Fuego is an Imperial Stout aged in rum barrels with #habanero. I was looking for a stout with heat and this didn’t dissapoint. All of the flavor, scent and feel of an imperial stout and added heat from the peppers on the finish. That said, the rum barrel was a bit lost on me. #thebeernation #saynotoordinarybeer #drinkcraftbeer #drinkcraft #drinkgoodbeer #craftbeer #craftbeerphoto #craftbeerlove #craftbeernerd #craftbeernation #craftbeerlover #craftbeerlife #craftbeergeek #craftbeerculture #craftbeerjunkie #beertographer #beertography #beerphoto #brewtography #brewtographer #stout #imperialstout #barrelagedbeer #barrelaged

Beer Geek Vanilla Shake is an Imperial Oatmeal Stout style #beer brewed by @mikkellerbeer in Copenhagen, Denmark and scoring a 95 out of 100 on @beeradvocate. It has an 13% ABV. Oatmeal stout with coffee, and vanilla. Flavors of rich dark chocolate, bitter bite, dried fruit, caramel, and raisins. It's a thick, chewy beer. It pours like motor oil. Overall, it's great imperial stout, but the "truckload" of vanilla isn't as strong as advertised. Delicious nonetheless.

Beer Geek Vanilla Maple Shake is a American Double / Imperial Stout style #beer brewed by Mikkeller in Denmark with a 13.00% ABV. It has a 4.37 out of 5.00 on @beeradvocate. Beer Geek Vanilla Maple Shake pours black like motor oil with a minimal amount of maple colored head. It smells like maple, coffee and faint notes of vanilla with strong boozy scent. BGMVN has a dramatically dynamic flavor palate. I originally poured it at 39° F and it was intensely sweet with heavy maple and bitter coffee, but as it warmed up to 65° it was a balanced blend of maple and vanilla, sweet, but not overly so. It finishes with a smooth coffee and dark chocolate and the booziness melts into the flavors.

Birthday Bomb! was conceived to celebrate three wonderful years of experimentation and fun loving flavors like the current incarnation with caramel sauce. A complex mix of hops and malt with a healthy dose of the signature coffee and spices. Birthday Bomb! Pours as dark as motor oil with a caramel head. The smells are caramel, coffee and dark chocolate that all translate to the flavor plus chili pepper.
