Holzar-Bier - decent dunkel, a little subdued when it comes to aroma and flavour but a really nice mouthfeel.

Bornem Triple from last Christmas. Not bad, but I still have the Draak left.

Mill Street Barley Wine 2010 - this year's version is less apple-like in character and has much more prune and grape skin in the nose and flavour, almost adopting a "grape juice" quality and intensity (minus the sweetness). Malts give off caramel, toast, and biscuit, similar to the Tankhouse Ale. Hops provide a pleasantly bitter and spicy finish while the alcohol is only traceable in the aroma. Overall not a bad barley wine, and as a whole it's a very enjoyable strong ale, but I think I prefer the hoppier, aged 2009 vintage to this year's (very young) batch.

A blend - Black IPA - 1/2 Aphrodite + 1/2 Ten Bitter Years

Extremely good. Great balance. Not sure it gets better than this.

Having a few bottles of homebrewed Hefe. Love the hallertau and sazz flavor.

Wells IPA in the new green and red can. 8 weeks from packaging.

This version is less attenuated than I recall from the past, with commensurate benefits. The palate is rounder (more fruit, biscuit) yet still accented to earthy/flowery hops. There is also a slightly sulphur-like flavour (Burtonized water?).

Complex even well-chilled from the fridge.

The English invented IPA and they still make it best IMO.

Last of my DDC Corne du diable and the last of my Great Lakes Edmund Fitz...

another beer run is necessary. More so, that I need a lot of the Edmund Fitz to get me through the hockey season...

Derek and I are amongst a few who were able to share some 88 Goudenband. Remember that my friend?

Nickel brook Maple Porter.

Seems like they've changed the recipe this year. I can actually taste maple!

Yeah I can barely handle a galopin of that stuff fresh at the pub. It is a damn good, savage beer. Best left to malinger a bit.

Luckily DDC also had Penombre on tap. Now sipping a Simple Malt Goldings. Scored a 2009 Vobiscum Hibernus and the 2010 Trois Mous Doppel Bock.
