I digress, last night I had the Lagunitas Night Time Ale. Sometimes Lagunitas really hits the nail on the head, this is one of those times. You get those coffee and chocolate notes that usually comes with a porter or stout and then there is the 71 IBU from the hops which provides some bitterness but also some floral notes as well. It comes in a 22 oz bomber and at 8% ABV that is enough for me these days. I know some people will see that 8% and be turned off by it but I really couldn't detect the alcohol as far as taste goes. So its a good offering to the night time ruckus and as always there is a fun bit of nonsense on the bottle which Lagunitas is known for and I always appreciate.

Lagunitas Night Time Ale
Autumn is finally kicking into gear here in the Bay Area. The leaves are changing color and the temperature is dropping. Time for some nice dark beers to warm our bellies while the rain pitter patters on the roof tops and the fire crackles in the fireplace. Well we don't have a fireplace but the yule log channel can't be too far away...
