Post Road pumpkin, DDC péché mortel and DDC paienne. For those who haven't had paienne, its brilliant and should be hunted down and devoured like white truffles.

Pumpkin weekend here. It's gonan be my like it or not decision weekend. I'm mixed about these Pumpkin beers. I liked the first one I had - Dogfish, but didn't really enjoy the first Citrouille I had, but enjoyed the second one a bit more.
I've now picked up a Great Lakes pumpkin and a Post Road as well for Pumpkin weekend.

Fuller's 1845 with Italian proscuitto and Beemster XO cheese. Yum.

Southern Tier IPA, which has gotten a bit flat and syrupy in my fridge. I'm starting to think the reason I like Dogfish 60 so much is because it keeps really well. The higher carbonation keeps it alive for a good long time.

Haven't seen it in a while, though. Maybe I'll encourage my local to order some more. It's just up the street from Cooper.

Fullers 1845 & Adnams Strong side by side. Interesting comparison...the Adnams holds up really well but the Fuller's still edges the contest IMHO.

I can stomach the Smirnoff ICE when I don't want to start on beer, but the grape (and all the other fruit flavoured ones) are obscenely bad. I bought a six pack never having tasted it and have only made it through 2 in 4 months.

I have a big problem with all the 10% imperial stouts and Belgian quads. I can and too often do drink them like 5% beers and get smashed very quickly. They are deadly tasty and full of alcohol

Tonight:

TO start, a westmalle tripel in my new westmalle glass.

Then with apps ,Ironstone Obsession Symhony from California (way to sweet, I can see why the ladies like it).

With dinner, Tedeschi Amarone Della Valpolicella 2004. A crazy big ass red with prune, wood, fig and smoke.

Finished dinner off with Graham's 20 year old port and dark chocolate.

Had a quite night in and just managed to have:

Surly CynicAle
Avery's Ale to the Chief
Rogue Double Dead Guy
The Duck & Rabbit Milk Stout
Alesmith Speedway Stout
Barrel Aged Oak Aged Yeti (48/470)
Lost Abbey Angel's Share in Oak Barrels
JW Lee's Harvest Ale in Calvados barrels
and the nightcap was a
2008 Dark Lord

I certainly slept well after that lot and it definitely eased my back pain

Thanks to Viggo & Denver.

Sunday night started off with a bottle of Grasshopper, and ended with a bottle of Unibroue 16 and Unibroue 17, with a dinner of southern fried chicken and cornbread in between.

Would love to see an importer submit this to the LCBO, if for nothing else than a good laugh at the board's reaction. If a pink elephant and a bunny rabbit get the kibosh, what would happen in this case? And if it somehow made it through the screening process, they could shelve it next to the John By bottles...someone up there's gotta have a sense of humour, right? Right? (Don't answer...)
