Sounds great Greg!

I'm swilling back a pint of a tasty homebrewed amber ale after spending the last 14 hours making smoked beef jerky, then smoked chicken breasts for supper, and finally some smoked cheese (balderson 6 year old cheddar, and a big hunk of gouda). This amber ale rocks, lots of fresh cascades, and the english amber malt really adds an interesting dimension.

Yeah had both of those the first time this summer, and those are f-cking good porters. OCB take note.

Now having a wee nip of Struisse Black Damnation. Hell ain't a bad place to be!

Biergotter's Gonzo clone is maybe even better than the real thing.

BDT Dumduminator and another beer whose name I could not spell or pronounce.

Until I have a sample of FD Gonzo that is as fresh as the Biergotter version I had, its not fair to call it.

I can't have enough of this DDC 'Aphrodite'. It is a heavenly stout (especially for these cooler, darker evenings).

Homebrew Pale
Corne du Diable
Watou Tripel

This last one is heavenly

2004 Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Auslese after dinner... at only 8.5% it like candy... gotta get back to the fatherland sometime.

Currently sipping a Petrus Oud Bruin, best before 2007 and damn tasty.

I think you need to send me anymore of that expired beer to make sure proper quality control procedures are followed

I had a Corne du Diable that had so much bright tangerine and citrus peel, it was just amazing. There were lots of more delicate citrus flavors playing over the grapefruit pith bitterness.

Red Racer IPA

Last night Steelback and I ran through:

Southern Tier Choklat - lives up to the name, one of my highest-rated beers

Muskoka Harvest Ale - their best beer IMO, APA hopping and bitterness with some ESB qualities (peach, apricot)

Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier - a benchmark weizen, I forgot how good this beer is (thanks Len!)

Headstrong Pale Ale - great hoppy EPA at an excellent price (thanks Len!)

Great Lakes Devil's Pale Ale - huge improvement over the previous version. Beautiful floral and citrus hop nose. This will now be a regular purchase for me.

Tonight I'll be having some Samuel Adams Octoberfest, Peche Mortel, and Cannery Blackberry Porter.
