Wild Rose IPA (draught)
Alley Kat Black Dragon Warrior Hop DIPA - no aroma whatsoever from the hops, and the bitterness was to out of balance for me. It just stripped my taste buds and that's all I got. I guess Warrior hops don't make a good single hop DIPA?

Couple Pints of Hoegaarden at WEGZ last night, celebrating the forced retirement of a couple guys from the office.

Doppel-Hirsch and the Schloss Eggenberg Doppelbock Dunkel, to compare them.
Doppelbock, and bock for that matter, are styles I rarely essay, partly due to a relative lack of suitable examples, partly to being enured to the predominant Anglo-American styles especially (for dark beers) porter and stout.
However, seeing these products on the shelves, and noticing they are within 3 months from bottling (give or take), I thought I would try them. In the past, I've been disappointed with bocks and double bocks 6 months old or more, I've encountered these often in the States and there is (to me) always a characteristic staleness to them that turns me off.
Not these two from LCBO, they are fresh-tasting and first-class products. The Schloss is a bit sweeter but both share that typical coffee/dry molasses taste good bock has. Celebrator has always been my favourite but these two are as good I'd say, with a little more emphasis on the coffee notes.
Great beer style, deservedly famous, and potent!

Westmalle Tripel (to unlock the Trappist badge on untapped) on side note. Anyone using an iPhone or iPod on here? Just recently under every post where the PM button usually is there's been Derek's profile picture. At least on my iPod.

Mad Tom, probably less than a month old and dammit I'm proud of this Ontario-made West Coast IPA.

Listening to the Blue Jays season opener and sipping on Muskoka Cream, King Dark Lager, Crazy Canuck and Mad Tom. Nice afternoon.
