Just had 2 brooklyn brown ales, and 2 ithaca flower power ipa. Now I am working on a pint of homebrew hefe. On deck is a recently bottled pumpkin ale, and smoked porter. Cant complain about free fights on spike either.

The body on that beer has to be pretty awesome!

it's pretty excellent. on the bigger side, but that helps hold the 8% abv together. the columbus that we dry hopped with is coming through with a little extra resiny bite that i'm rather enjoying too.

you know where to find it if you want some

Fullers Vintage 2010. Hoppiest vintage that I can recall. Rough around the edges, as you would expect, but I think this is going to be the best year in a long while. Stock up.

Pretty damn tasty, not had it before. Light acidity and tartness, nose smelled like a vinaigrette (vinegar, balsamic, fruits) in a good way. Way drinkable.

Belhaven Stout is out now in Ontario, just got some at Summerhill. Advertised on the label as based on an 1800's recipe, using three malts. This, plus the 7% ABV, makes the claim very credible. There is a reference on the label to chocolate but reading carefully, this seems simply a description of the palate, there is no chocolate in the brew (fine by me, we have enough flavoured stouts at present IMO). Taste notes later but I've had it before, in the U.S., and it was superb.

Adnams Tally-ho. A great winter warmer with shocking drinkability to boot! Good stuff.

I'm enjoying one right now, a beautiful stout.

Halfway through a growler of Granite Landlord's Daughter In Black Satin smoked porter. Love this beer.

Trying the Belhaven now myself, I agree, rich, complex double stout flavours. A winner.

Had Orval for the first time today. Didn't like it at all. Just not my style I guess.
