There’s much to be mad at, even the time.

But BA Mad At Midnight 2020 from #portageBrewing is something to smile about!

Stored cold so thought I’d waited too long on this one. But #LetItWarm and there is all the zippy cinnamon and spicy chili you were waiting for, a hint of sweet and a satisfying lasting slow burn finish.

If I’m going to drink a golden ale I’m going to find something flavorful. This #portageBrewing Coffecake Blonde Ale fits the bill.

Coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon - my kind of blonde. Complex sweet and malty with a little bite on the finish.

I’m just mad at myself this time - I forgot the #portageBrewing Mad at Midnight imperial molé #stout in the fridge!

Left open (recapped) 5 days, flattened out all the flavors but really amped up the spicy chili finish 🌶️

Temps tomorrow morning expected to be -13F. It’s 7F now but wind chills are in the -16F range!

Makes me Mad at Midnight. Thank goodness I’ve got this #portageBrewing barrel-aged mole imperial stout to bring the heat.

A #cellaruary 2020 bottle, it’s rich with chocolate, lightly carbonated, pleasantly vanilla and cinnamon, with a zingy chili finish. #letItWarm

Traveling tomorrow and it’s cold as heck again… don’t want to crack a big bottle of winter-warmer so let’s substitute!

#portageBrewing CoffeCake Blonde Lager

A medium body lager with coffee, vanilla, and a cinnamon finish. Not as warming as the dedicated warmer, but very nice.

Many people and many beers, sharing is caring!

#minocqua Dark Brandon Espresso stout - thin, odd tang on the finish
#portageBrewing CoffeeCake Blond Ale - cinnamon and vanilla yum!
#surlyBrewing Darkness with Friends with TRVE - raspberry tart goodness
#sierraNevada Narwahl - yes Please!

Made it to the source! #portageBrewing in Walker, MN

Family Recipe pastry stout! A light stout flavorful with chocolate, a hint of bitter and a sweet lasting cookie finish.

I love a lot of Pastry #stout so it’s a second shot at #PortageBrewing Into the Night.

Too medium-bodied to rate a “pastry” label in my book, it’s roasty chocolate, a hint of vanilla, and a slight bitter finish. Just doesn’t have the oomph I’m used to.

Day two of being Mad at Midnight, and I think I’m more mad at myself for not buying MORE of the marvelous molé #stout!

#portageBrewing did this barrel-aged pastry stout right. The overnight open bottle amped up the chili & cinnamon and rounded out the chocolate, really an awesome stout.

Luckily Dabbler Depot shows at least one more bottle in stock…gotta find a way to get back there!

Holy Molé kids! #stoutFriday and I’m Mad at Midnight!

#portageBrewing Bourbon Barrel aged Molé Pastry Stout

Marvelous blend of bourbon sweet, chili heat, with chocolate and cinnamon notes in a full-bodied smoothness. Maybe I’m GLAD instead!
