This is as good an example of the style as you will find. That color is gorgeous. Treehouse.

Back in the states. I imported a couple of these.

Regular quadrupel recipe then aged in oak barrels. Each batch is unique based in barrels. Only available for purchase at the abbey.

Tried one last night at a friend's house. No pics from the pour but it tastes great. 11% alcohol but doesn't taste like it. Very much had a Christmas or Holiday Ale flavor profile.

Old Man is fantastic. Such an underrated and underappreciated style that gets lost in the onslaught of IPAs, DIPAs and TIPAs. I went to Tox Brewing on Saturday and bought a 4-pak of their ESB, Still Bitter. It didn't make it to Sunday. So good.

It has an unfortunate name, as it isn't bitter in the way a west coast IPA is bitter.

Old Man is a great representation of the style. @HuskyHawk i know you’re a Treehouse white knight. But if I side-by-sided Marlowe’s Ploosh with Old Man, I guarantee you would choose Ploosh every time.
 
Speaking of Marlowe, I attended the soft opening of their new brewery/taproom in Nyack on Friday. Very worth the trip, and there are some fantastic restaurants on the same block.

Maybe. I’ll have to try that.

What I really want is for Three Floyd’s to sell my favorite of their beers in MA, Robert the Bruce.

Putting this on my itinerary for December visit to Danbury. Maybe even coming AND going, lol. The Eager to Share I bought in July was my favorite beer of the year. Would love to try others.
 
I have a quick 2-day trip up to CT in November. I will be looking for Chris' beers.
 
Looks good, what does it taste like?
An ESB is a Caramel malt forward beer, so like an amber ale really. Balanced between hop bitterness and malt sweetness. Lower carbonation usually.
 
I'll try it out next time I am there. Weather looks perfect in that picture
It’s cool for here, about 68 for a high. Pretty similar to last weekend in MA, but the sun feels warmer.
 
Love this time of year with all of the traditional lager styles getting released. This fantastic Festbier from Counterweight is available throughout CT and is $10.99/4pk. Highly recommend.

I've been sampling all the local Octoberfests and Festbiers. This one and Alvarium Hedwig have been my favorites. NEBCO Schnitzengiggles is pretty good too.

Not that i normally care, but that artwork on the can is 1) tremendous, and 2) for sale, for reasonable pricing. If I were a 20-something, i would plaster my house with this stuff!

 
Was gifted this over the weekend. Drank it straight out of the can.

Tasty offering from Mount Holly Brewing Co.
