Thanks. I could try to overpower the cold with sheer blood alcohol toxicity, sometimes a bottle of red wine is a good start. For now the hot chicken broth works amazingly fast at clearing out the head. < Made from real dead birds, not store bought.

Drinking a backwoods bastard from the 2013 lcbo release. It is holding up very well, very smooth and balanced

Xbeeriment Black Force One, from September 2013 release... it's been on my 'to do' list. ;) Good Imp stout, with winey dark fruit and roasty-cocoa edge. Nothing rotten from Denmark.

Sigtuna Brygghus Midvinterblöt was also nice, imperial porter with smoked malt addition. Both excellent sippers.

Bellwoods Wizard Wolf.

I have passed this up every single time it has been available when I visit the brewery. Not really sure why, as I often enjoy lower ABV beers. I'm glad I finally added a bottle to my purchase. Solid and enjoyable.

ps. Thanks to Lurkaholic for helping get signed up here. Long time lurker, first time poster.

2014 Fullers vintage ale, dry hopped with liberty and cascade, but they're subtle. Really great brew.

Ten Fidy... Starting to think this is my fav RIS.

Rochefort 10 from 2013, amazing.

Firestone Walker OAKtoberfest, snappy crisp german taste.

Ballast Point Victory At Sea - imperial Porter with coffee and vanilla is all I have to say. Wow. Good as anything there is, beer-wise.

I have a bunch of these stashed away - I'm assuming they're coming into their own now?

They are awful damn beery smelling. The aroma is freaking perfect. Too bad the new stock is gone.

Nickel Brook Bolshevik Bastard last night... delicious, and definitely better than last year's version, if I'm remembering correctly
