It is time to start looking for this years batch. Ahhh Christmas beer

It was cold and rainy last night.... one of my favorites for this weather;

Brooding, malty chocolate with anise and coffee... very complex. Don't drink it too cold (50 to 55 degrees) and be careful as it's 11% ABV.

I'm quickly becoming quite a Deschutes Brewery fan (although I hear they just lost their head brewmaster... started his own business).

This sounds really good, where do you find it?

Hmm, that deschutes/abyss looks amazing. Is it on the sweeter side, or is it more bitter?

Just a nice beer for when you are thirsty. The quantity in the can is about right too.

Might as well pick up Deschutes Jubleale too. Really different, really good.

Thanks for sharing! Very good reviews, and as you said, most people praise its unique, complex and chocolate flavors. Now I'll have to track one of those bottles down.

I'm putting an order in shortly to import a few things, including a case of Haandbryggeriet's Dark Force. Apparently, it's the World's only Imperial Wheat Stout.

Anybody out there tried that one?

Wheat stout? Worth ordering just to try that out. Let us know how it goes if you do!

Last race of the season a few days ago, so I have a good bunch to post...

A few winter seasonals, with dark lagers and bocks just to fit in. I had a few others at different places, but it was too long ago to remember.

Generally arranged in preference. The last two were very similar. I found out my friend's brother-in-law's brother is the brew master at Troegs, and he gets free cases every year over christmas time. Expect a few more to pop up in the next few weeks

Barbarossa Double Dark Lager

Troegenator

Indeed! I think it will take a couple of months to get here, but I'm sure I can find something good to drink while I wait

That said, I think the provincial liquour control board here in Ontario, Canada, has Konigshoeven Quad and Unibroue 17 for sale... just not in my neck of the woods yet. Hope it gets here soon!

Fantastic Trappist beer. A few days after the Ronde in 2012 I will be on a brewery tour there and surely will wind up at the tasting room for a healthy lunch.

Anybody who rides 264km deserves all the beer and frites they can eat and drink.

Yes, it's actually really nice. It has the depth and most of the body of a stout, but the wheat seems to make it sit differently on the tongue.

GREAT beer! It has a lot of fans on this website, obviously including me.

Just drank 2 Westy-Vleterens with some buddies after letting them 'ripen' for a month. It was freaking divine Supersweet beer, but man best beer I've ever had
