Long before there was pale lager, there was dark lager. Dunkel was the original style of the Bavarian country side well before pale golden lagers become popular.. Despite a dark appearance that hints of porter or stout, these are remarkably drinkable beers. Round Trip Brewing's take this dark lager is Dunkel Platz 5% ABV. This a malt forward beer provides bready, grainy and caramel notes laces with subtle nobel hops spiciness and restrained bitterness. It looks quite dark, but you won't find burnt flavors. Compared to imported German versions, it is more medium bodied and has less of a creamy mouth feel. A nice drinkable dark beer that can be enjoyed any time of year. This batch of 16 oz cans was purchased directly at the brewery tap room. Cheers! @roundtripbeer

Everyone who enjoys Trappist beers is familiar with the one - Trappiste Rochefort #10. It's a Belgian Quad. An extra strong beer that sports a malty backbone accented with dark fruit and spicy/peppery flavors. You'll notice the alcohol, but it's not harsh, just warming. It will definitely relax you after a brutal mid January week. Purchased. @westsidebeverage in Cumming, GA. Cheers!

I always have to grab some from this series every year. @newbelgium Oakspire. A 9% ABV Barrel Aged strong ale aged in Four Roses barrels. I think I still like the Knob Creek version a little better, but this one is still an enjoyable sip on a chilly Sunday evening. Purchased at Georgia Liquor Barn in Cumming, GA. Cheers!

Snow coming? Good weekend to make some chili. You know what goes exceptionally well in chili? @pretoriafieldsbrewing Walkers Station Stout. Beer purchased at @totalwinegeorgia . My step by step instructions:

Off work a little early today. Gave me a chance to dive into this crowler of @nofobrewco Yonah Live Once Vienna Lager. I think they still have it on draft right now. It's a nice sessionable beer selection for hanging out at NoFo Brew Co. One of my favorites @nofo_brewer_jonny & @landandsea_emily make over there. Cheers all!

Excellent beer alert! Ironshield Brewing is only a few years old, but they have some great brewers over there. This is one first class Abbey style ale called Divine Dubbel (8% ABV). They hit the body and effervescence of this style on the nose. Good complexity of dark fruit aromas & flavors expected in the style. Alcohol is well hidden, so it's warming without being too hot. I'm learning more about this style and this is real close to St. Bernardus in my limited opinion. Nice to have another brewery in the area producing this kind of high quality beer. Well crafted @ironshieldbrewing !
