Corne Du Diable
Route Des Epices

Corne was alright, but I'm not a big fan of IPAs. It was quite refreshing though.

Route was just terrible. An interesting taste for sure, the smell was my favourite part, but as a beer I just don't see it working. Struggled to finish it.

Also picked up the Derniere, but haven't tried that yet.

I think you forgot the homebrewed Iced Wee Heavy.

I think that was a good place to call it grub. The meade was a great finish to a great night.

oh i dunno... i was seriously considering grabbing another bottle, but indecision over what to open led to choosing sleep instead.

I hope you've kept a bottle or 5 for the "Brew Monkey" that helped with this?

Anyways, just had my last, wonderful bottle of Ninkasi Triceratops Double IPA, followed by a fresh bottle of Gulden Draak; haven't had a bottle of this for years. I forgot what a wonderfully fruity, port-like ale this was.

Does anyone know which of the Derniere volonte from the DDC release is the right one?

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1141/18272
or
http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1141/55436

neither of them have the right alcohol average, so I'm not sure which is the correct one. It's probably the first one, but I just want to make sure I put my review under the right one.

Fantastic beer by the way, drinking it now, wish I had picked more of these up.

Phillips hop circle... which is right up there with Red Racer. I'll have to have them back-to-back sometime soon.

Tree's Double Hophead. Too drinkable.

Ipswich Summer Ale...different.

Double Chocolate Cherry Stout from 2008. How the hell does a 5.5% ale age so well?

This has loads of good sour cherry on the nose and palate, along with a mellow bitter chocolate.

Ales of this low alcohol ain't suppose to age this well..............if you believe what you read/hear; Brava Ken & Adrian!!!!
