Great Lakes Green Tea Ale. The tea seems more pronounced than I remember it from the TFOB. The beer seems quite mild but fairly bitter. I am certainly no expert but I think it seems more from the tea than a hoppy bitter. I can certainly see myself enjoying a few of these on the balcony once it gets a bit warmer.
Had a Black Oak Double Chocolate Cherry earlier. Pretty yummy too!
I don't think I'll ever be a big fan of extra flavours added to beer but I like to try new stuff once in a while. Kudos to the brewers for trying something different.

Mill St. Barley Wine 2008. This is a superb interpretation of a strong English stock beer style, probably very close to the old October beers of the English countryside. It is very well-knit and while upwards of a year old shows no sign of wear (no signs of oxidation or excess acidity) but offers good brandy-like heft and taste. Surely a taste of history, but, to enjoy it at its utmost, drink at room temperature or only lightly cooled. My bottle has been opened and closed for a month and the exposure to air seems only to have improved it. The people that made this know - trust me - exactly what they are doing.

Damn, how much is Mill St. paying you to do advertising like that? Just kidding.
Enjoying a Southern Tier Cherry Saison at the moment, and it is quite nice in my view. Brett characteristics are really starting to grow on me, I'd love to try more Saison's as it seems like a style I can really get into (although I'm told this isn't really a true Saison). It's a good thing I wasn't getting my hopes up for something with a lot of cherry to it though, as it's almost undetectable in both the aroma and flavour.

I wish this interminable winter would end... its starting to grind me down. However, that said I had a good weekend beerwise:
He'Brew Genesis
Celis White
Oaked Aged Yeti
Goulden Carolus Noel
Hacker-Pschorr Dunkel Weisse
John's Generations White Ale
Phillip's Amnesiac IIPA
Brooklyn Post Road Pumpkin
Southern Tier IPA
The Yeti was mind-blowing, as was the John's Generations (its made by a brewery called Millstream in Iowa). The Goulden Carolus and Hacker-Pschorr were from the Abbott on the Hill, which continues to impress me, and is well worth a visit if you find yourself near Summerhill or St. Clair subway stops.
