Tell me how it is. I have some aging away. I am predicting the 2 year mark to be beautiful.
:o
It's good. Grapey. chocolatey, and has an earthy-herbal presence. Not an earth shattering beer but very tasty. Would pair well with biting ants.
was hoping you'd say " pairs well with blue cheese or chili coconut chocolate curry" ... ants work well... i guess.

Old Rasputin is fantastic fresh or aged. And it is very reasonably priced.

Drank lots of Bushwakker Vanilla Stout last night, a friend had a BBQ and picked up a keg. Fantastic stuff. This was based on my friend Joshua Hudson's Best of Show homebrew recipe.

Also cracked open a 2-year old bottle of Ommegang Three Philosophers. I love this beer.

Dogfish Head Liquor de Malt.

I poured a little out for all my homies.

My first ever 40 of malt liquor. And probably, despite all their eccentric offerings, the first DFH offering to impress me as being an authentically, respectfully and tastefully unique beer. Still, finishing the whole 40 is kind of a stomach wrenching task. Also, my head is swimming in it...

finished off last night with a long trail brewmasters double ipa. Very nice ipa. Hid the 8.6 percent well and had a nice balance between citrus and pine flavors. Also had a few st ambroise oatmeal stouts, and a true north ipa or 2. True north is an excellent pale ale. You cant get much better for the price right now in ontario.

08-09 Brooklyn Black Chocolate and 09-10 Brooklyn Black Chocolate - 08-09 noticeably smoother and better integrated, though not as much difference as I would have thought.
