Nice pick up...I've only seen those sets in the past with chocolate indulgence..the gnomegang is a nice addition

Belgian Style Yeti-Great Divide Brewing Yet another twist on the Yeti brew, this one remains an imperial stout but is brewed with a Belgian yeast that imparts a bit of dark fruitiness and sourness to the usual flavors you would expect from a typical RIS and they are dark chocolate and espresso. The...

CBS.jpg Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout--Here is the description from Founders--"Canadian Breakfast Stout is an Imperial Stout brewed with a blend of coffees and imported chocolates, then aged in spent bourbon barrels that have most recently been aging pure Michigan maple syrup." They finally bot...

Up next: http://www.foundersbrewing.com/wp-content/uploads/the-lineup/bottle_breakfast-stout.png A complete breakfast in a bottle. The only thing this brew could possibly need would be a slice of chocolate/chocolate chip pound cake or a chocolate croissant. What else could you want with a double ch...

Bruery 4 Calling Birds. The Bruery has been producing the releasing a new holiday beer each year based on the 12 days of Christmas. Here is the description for this years offering straight from their website.. "4 Calling Birds-Spiced Strong Dark Ale. The Twelve Days of Christmas series continues! We...

Goose Island Christmas Ale--I almost skipped this one as the price seemed a little high ($11 for a 4 pack) compared to similar brown ales. Pours a dark amber brown with a bit more density than I expected. An excellent brown ale with caramel malts, hints of dark chocolate, subtle spices and a splash ...

I should have probably waited until at least next week to start but I've been sampling xmas beers for the past week or so. It's ny far my favorite beer season. First up for review was one of my favorites..St. Bernardus Christmas Ale. Pours a rich caramel brown with a large frothy head. A classic bel...

Mokah-Southern Tier Brewing Cappucino with a shot (or two) of whiskey. I can't remember who said that as we tasted this Saturday AM so I can't take it as original but that's a pretty good description of this imperial stout. Black as night and about as viscous as Quaker State 10W30, this heavily roa...

Come over to my house on Thanksgiving ;)

Old Jubilation-Avery Brewing Hands down one of the better winter ales I have ever had. Following the German Laws of Purity, they take the only 4 ingredients "allowed" in beer and turn them into a fabulous winter warmer. Deep brown with hints of ruby, this English style old ale has a small head, sli...

Pumking-Southern Tier Brewing What a great name! A new brew store in Raleigh, Bottle Revolution, had a case of this one Friday night and it was gone the next day so I was happy to see dpslaw have a bomber of one of these to share at Saturday's Brunchgate. The base is an amber ale but more on the im...

Stone 15th Anniversary Beer-Escondidian Imperial Black IPA...This is a bit of a trendy style lately but this is one of the better beers I've tried in a while. Pours a stout-like black with a medium head. Lots of roasted malts up front with a good bit of dark chocolate and coffee. Big piney hop bite ...

Saison de Lente-The Bruery This is my 1st sampling of anything by this brewery but I believe bluebeer has had 1 or two. Bluebeer, where are you? This is a bit lighter than a traditional saison but not much. The head is generous and lacy, the nose is light and floral and the taste is a surprising fu...

No beer for 10 days or so for me after a week long stomach bug left me 11 lbs lighter..Perhaps the worst part was that the evening before it hit, I "enjoyed" half a bottle of the Goose Island Vanilla Bourbon County Stout that I've been saving since last winter. It was the last thing I tasted before ...

Hoppe-Southern Tier Brewing Another first here with an imperial extra pale ale, this time a trader from CB&B after his Christmas trip to Blacksburg. This appears to be a fairly simple brew with 2 malts, pale and wheat, and 2 hops, Columbus and Amarillo. So, with the wheat malt, there is a bit of or...

My friend from Wisconsin is passing through the Land of the Lost. What should I have him bring me? Wisconsin Belgian Red and ... 2 or more of those plus: 1. Raspberry Tart (2 or more) 2. A mixed 6er or 12 pack of seasonals from New Glarus. 3. Any limited release bombers or 750 ml bottles. I'd offer...

Founders Blushing Monk. Founders has started a special release 750ml series for some of their currently draft only beers. First up is Blushing Monk which hasn't been bottled in a few years. It's a belgian strong dark ale brewed with lots of raspberries. Pours a deep burgundy red with a large frothy ...

Page 3 :-o :-o It's been a busy few months and I am way behind on reviews. Firestone Walker Parabola--Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. Pours a rich dark brown/black with almost no head. Taste up front is like drinking dark chocolate with hints of vanilla and a subtle fruitiness. A bit more bitter roasted...
