nogne o- spiced christmas beer with hints of swedish glog(sweet warm winter beverage) coming through.
corsendonk christmas and gouden carolous- both very lovely belgian strongs not christmas spiced but very toffee like and lovely over xmas.
Djvlebryg Old Mephisto- believe this bottle is from '08' this is the best barley wine ive ever had. not saying best out there but best ive tasted personally
rodenbach grand cru - lovely mixed sour beer aged in oak vats kinda reminds me of red wine meets sour beer
lvisholt Jlabjr smoked bock- wow my first icelandic beer wasnt expecting it at the price ($4) but very nice not over the top smokey like most others imo
north coast brother theolonious belgian style abbey ale- nice american take on a belgian definately worth picking up if seen.

very nice winter warmer quite different with a bit of piney taste coming through.

terrible photo but the beer even though i paid close to ($20) was worth every penny. this brewery has every right to be arrogant.

way too overpowering for me at this age. only bottled last july. will be interseting to taste in a years time when the heat and hops settle in abit.

quite a nice drop i dont think theres any belgian beers out there i wont rate

great red from an award winning english brewery. although i think the u.s hops is what makes it shine.

Captain Lawrence Cuvee de Castleton

Kept in fridge since sept/oct last year when I visited the brewery.
Awesomely funky/bretty acidic, fruity and dry, some smoother yeasty/oaky tones to balance it out. Great beer.
 


I had this last night, was great, smooth and caramelly and bacony. Brother in law nailed it with ' honey baked ham' kettle chips.
 
The Capt Lawrence is hen's teeth, especially as it was not even available, and the brewer gave it to me from his private stash (thank you Scott), but the Schenkerla is a recent item from Phoenix, so you should be able to get it if you want. The travesty was that I had to neck 2/3rds of it because I was being kicked out of the GF's sister's place, a waste in two senses of the word.
 
Currently enjoying this. seems celebrations is getting some nice beers in.

Is stienlager quite nice? it will be the next one i get.

It is a fairly smooth stout. was a bit Coopers BES to it then it mellowed out.
