Boney sent me one these recently, waiting for a special occasion to open it. Can't wait. Currently drinking a He'Brew Messiah Bold, pretty tasty brown ale.

St Ambroise 2009 Stout Imperiále Russe (American bourbon oak) - I love how the dense color 'stains' the glass with a Cognac gold-brown. Drinking is pure pleasure, maybe not quite a Top Five stout for me but certainly beats out Oak Yeti. Another proud national contender (as I said the Phillips DIPA is darn good.)

Driftwood Twenty Pounder

It was so nice walking into several liquor stores in BC and not seeing the huge divide of available beers between there and where I live now. Last time I was in Van I was overwhelmed and wanted to buy everything....now I could, and was more choosey.

Southern Tier 2XIPA out of a Southern Tier pint glass to celebrate a good beer run/weekend trip to Buffalo. Got this from the LCBO, though.

Is it just me or is the Twenty Pounder a bit too hoppy and lacking in malt backing? I've been cutting it to tone it down (I bought a case before having the first one).

t'is a little too bitter for me, a touch unbalanced, as some would say. Seems to have gone in the opposite direction to the TREE version.

Dare I ask......how big was your glass?

Last night, had a Dominus Vobiscum Blanche. (Is is just me, or does it feel cool to say that?

)

I've never quite been able to really get into wheat beers. I appreciate them, and continue to try them once in a while, but it's just not my style. Having said that, the spicing in this was really good.
