Interesting. I got a fresh pack of it, maybe yours might have been a little skunky? I enjoyed my 6-pack of it.

I'll never buy it again to find it. It was carbonated properly throughout. I strongly believe that was the actual flavor.

Hmm, now if I see it again I will pick it up. See if the taste has changed.

Please do, I'd like to know whether I'm going crazy or not.

Tried it last night and have no clue what you're talking about, it tasted pretty good to me!

Alright, with the next 6 I get I'll try it, and then toss one your way to see if its any different.

Sounds good! Thanks! I'd rather not dislike it, believe it or not.

I picked up a 4 pack of this. It’s supposed to be amazing, and I was shocked to see it at the Wegmans right down the street from my house. Going to crack into one in about 5 min. It’s 15%



I am drinkng a bomber of this right now. It's pretty damn good.

Haha. Exactly.

I don't know if you saw my comment from before, but yeah. We totally mis-measured the water. All aboard the fail boat.

You don't say.

I am drinking Crown Royal + Coke in a Carolus chalice.

I'm enjoying a Southern Tier Choklat right now. Fucking yum!

Just picked up this bastard in the liquor store:

Yes, I'll fully admit I bought it just for the FUCKING CERAMIC GOBLET!!! No idea what the beer tastes like yet. Ranges from 6% to 8% to 10% ABV.

Nice! I hope we get those gift packs. We had it last year but with a normal glass chalice. All those beers are really quite good if you like the abbey/trappist style of beer.



As for the Rogue Yellow Snow. I also have no idea what you are talking about Stormland brother! I thought it was really a well balanced, tasty, while perhaps a little underwhelming IPA.



So did anyone here manage to get the WESTVLETEREN fucking 12? I haven't been around in a few days but it looks like we all missed out?

As far as I remember Yellow Snow is a good solid IPA. I don’t buy it often though, because I have a lot of better options in the same price range.

I'm gonna keep tabs on the one guy I know who got it.

That bourbon county looks sexy!

Oh that's fucking KILLER!

I've had that mix back before and it's great!



Where did you get it? I hope that one comes to Toronto this year.

I must have had a bad batch. I really didn't think so at the time, I mean it's basically christmas and a new 6'er comes out and it just so happens to have a candycane aftertaste. Now I look like a freak, lol.

I really hope I get to have that bottle herra saved for me to help me clear my sanity.

Here's a bunch of new ones I've picked up off of the shelves recently...

Wasn't really a fan of this. Gave it a 5/10. Nothing special


Considering the last one, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It make sense why it sold out faster than the other bottle. It was good. I gave it an 8/10. First solid beer I've ever had that actually tasted like pears. Had that nice oak aged bourbon taste too.
I can't find the image, but it's
'Oak Aged Bourbon - VSOP'

I haven't tried the below as of yet...
Nogne - Porter



Nogne - Tiger Triple


Nogne - Underlig Jul


I got to try a friends homebrews. I was ridiculous surprised at how good he made those beers. Blasphomet may want to listen in on this one...

He made a Black Millipede Imperial Cascadian Ale. It was fucking phenomenal. Reminded me exactly of Flying Monkey's version of the Dark Cascadian Ale, but with a twist of the imperial touch. Was at least 8% abv and I just kept cringing as I thought of it being a simple home brew. I'm going to join him a couple Saturday's from now to lean how to make it. I'll be passing that information down to Herra too of course, and whoever else cares. lol

He also made a Fresh Hoped Pale Ale. It was almost perfect if you ask me. It had lots of sediment (I was warned, but forgot) but that didn't matter. Still tasted great and I didn't get that really back of the throat dry taste that one usually gets with an abundance of sediment. The reason I say this was almost perfect is because it had all the characters of an ipa, but without the uber bitter aftertaste. I couldn't pin-point whether it be closer to a west coast or easch coast approach, but that didn't matter to me. Had all the citrusy flavors and aromas one may pick up on when dealing with an ipa. I really enjoyed it.

I also enjoyed this on the weekend. It's been a while, but I managed to pick up on some flavors in some of them that I had never picked up on before. There were far more winter spice flavors than I remember in the Heather Ale. The pine was drank at room temperature and as per usual, perfection!


I've seen a couple mix packs with a different bottle inside. Might be a pleasant surprise one day to see that over here in Toronto. Just sayin...

Those homebrews sound awesome. Does he do all-grain or partial-mashes? I've seen those Historic Ales around, and I keep looking for the one that has the Seaweed beer in it and I can't seem to find it.

Possibly my new favorite:

^^^ mmm, yeah, that's a good one.

It was fantastic, the perfect sipping beer. It’s so rich and full of flavor, really a great beer. I am pretty stoked about having three more of them to drink.
