Stayed in last night with the mrs and had a few we enjoyed:
Bellwoods' Motley Cru (2014)
Bellwoods' Motley Cru (2015)
Beau's Thirty-three And A Third
Beau's Smoked Helmüt
They were all delicious. Motley 2014 had lost a lot of the hops (as I'd expected) but it was still slightly tart/sour. I didn't enjoy it as much as fresh but it was still good.
The Beau's ones were great. Thirty-three and a Third was a great mix, it had strong aromas like a russian imperial stout but the taste was much smoother, especially for 9.4%. It had some nice bourbon notes too, no doubt from the two bourbon-aged beers that were part of the blend.
