pejacobyNot quite Christmas Morning, but the light is starting to return.
#hardywood Christmas Morning
Sweet and creamy milk stout with cinnamon, ginger, and coffee, hints of vanilla and honey - let it warm for all the flavors.
It’s above zero, but it’s still hard to feel “warm” after this weekend’s events
Holding our people close
Calling for justice to be done
#hardywood Chocolate Peppermint Stout is a winter treat in a dark time.
Smooth cocoa and peppermint opener, a rich creamy body carries those flavors and vanilla through to a lasting minty finish.
Went outside today - please clap 👏 Temp got to +3F, had to bundle up!
#hardywood Fluffy GBS is like a winter coat to wrap yourself up in. Hug them marshmallows close!
Ginger nose, cocoa body is ginger spiced with hints of honey and lots of marshmallow. Warming.
NYE and I’m still finishing off Xmas beers! No time to lose!
#hardyWood Gingerbread #stout
Big big ginger lead, hints of vanilla and honey in the smooth chocolate body. A bit sweet, not quite grandma’s gingerbread cookie profile.
It’s #stouturday and while it’s not #christmasMorning anymore, this #stout is.
#hardywood Christmas Morning
Smooth and creamy, coffee, ginger, cinnamon, and subtle honey/vanilla as it warms. A fine present all by itself.
Christmas Eve can share #1 is #Hardywood Fluffy GBS #stout
Creamy cocoa body with ginger spices, hints of honey, and LoTS of marshmallow. Curiously lost flavor as it warmed, but overall solid.
A second season-appropriate #stout on Christmas-eve-eve
#hardywood Chocolate Peppermint Stout
Nice creamy cocoa chocolate body with a minty finish. Let it warm as the mint hides in the cold. Not as well-balanced as #lefthand, but well done.
Kids said they did a double take on this one, unsure if I’d had it. I had, but a good time for a repeat.
#hardywood Trader Joe’s Joe-Joe’s Chocolate Vanilla Crème #stout
Creamy cocoa smell, lots of dry cocoa mouth feel like that old Nestle Quik. Sweet but Light on the vanilla, not as rich as an Oreo. Maybe needs more lard?
New Copilot model. Not named Oreo. Totally worth staying up until 1 am for.
Matching beer? Of course Dad has one!
#hardywood Joe-Joe’s Chocolate Vanilla Crème #stout
Cacao and vanilla, but it has more of a cheap imposter Hydrox bite than a true Oreo spirit.
Made it to Friday and it’s still #chocolateStoutWeek
Spotted this one at Trader Joe’s and just had to try!
#hardywood Joe-Joe’s Chocolate Vanilla Crème Stout
Creamy cocoa smell, lots of dry cocoa on the lead and a lasting cocoa mouth coating like that old Nestle Quik. Not a lot of vanilla comes through. Scores on the lower end of the week’s samples.
