This year's bottle was just ok, but I had a chance to get it on draft and it was really good.the wicked child wrote:Any better than last year's? I liked the one I had in '12 but last year's had an odd aftertaste to me.

Had one from a six my FIL brought over. Gave me a wicked headache after 2 sips, which was odd and disappointing.Sigwolf wrote:Nothing spectacular, but it's a very drinkable beer.columbia wrote:Somehow, I've never had Leffe Brune, so I picked up a six pack at the Kroger.

Mini-Haul:
Victory Winter Cheers
Delirium Noel
Corsedonk Christmas Ale
New Holland Cabin Fever
Southern Tier 2XMAS
One of my friends got me a Founders Devil Dancer while shopping for his entries for the 12 beers of Xmas. I returned the favor by grabbing an extra Winter Cheers.

I am devastated to report that I have cold. The Christmas-New Years break is a huge beer trying time for me. I need all positive recovery vibes I can get between now and mid-week, please.

Southern Teir 2XMAS has just enough spice for a winter warmer, backed by heavy malt and a fair ABV.
Tasty stuff.

I don't normally care for tripels, but this St. Bernadus tripel is good.
Have yet to get their Christmas Ale. I haven't really been looking for it, but has anyone seen it around?

Need to figure out a way to convince the wife to go to the bar tonight. They have Delerium Noel and Delerium Tremmens both on tap.

Tried a raison d'extra. Knocked me on my ass at 18.5 %. Extraordinarily tasty. If you can find a couple, go for it. But let them sit for a year or so. This beer was a little too hot. But smelled amazing and had a lot of complexity under that heat. Glad I stocked up.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
Had a few on draft last night...
Founders breakfast stout, one of my favorites, always fantastic.
East end big hop ipa, incredibly average, almost wonder if this was a bad keg, everything about it was subdued
I
Elysian bifrost winter ale, really enjoyed this

Had the Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout the other day. I'm a Brooklyn fan, but wasn't expecting too much from this one. Color me pleasantly surprised. One of the better stouts I've had (and I'm a huge stout fan). Of course, one of these plus a St. Bernardus Abt12 had me feeling pretty good.

Drinking a 2XMAS. It's decent, but like most beers of this style, one a year is enough.

Had my first delerium noel last night while watching die hard, so pretty much a perfect night. Can't believe I've missed out over the years on this, it's incredible. How does it compare to the St bernardus Christmas?

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
St. Bernardus Christmas is a much darker, richer beer. I love Delerium Noel, as well, but they are two very different beers.

Picked up a Delirium Noel, and yet another (this makes 3) St.B. 4-pack w/ glass. I reward myself for doing the shopping.

Received a Lost Abbey Deliverance Ale in the office christmas gift exchange.
American Strong Ale. 12.5%
A blend of bourbon barrel-aged Serpent’s Stout and brandy barrel-aged Angels Share, Deliverance is the epic battle being waged between heaven and hell for the souls of mortal men… and your enjoyment in a glass.
Sounds intense.

a lost abbey beer is a great gift because it's going to be great, but there's no way it's worth the price it costs to get one.Kraftster wrote:Received a Lost Abbey Deliverance Ale in the office christmas gift exchange.
