It was great, Tony. Gingerbread Dark Strong Ale. Just like Grandmas house during Christmas, especially if Grandma is a bad ass! Extremely dark beer with a unique head almost like Chocolate milk that got shaken up real good. The aroma will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, the taste will leave you wanting more, and the 11%abv will keep you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside for a while.:D

I brought home 2 bottles if that tells you anything.;)

The description of it at Total Wine is very unappealing.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have 2011 on tap and bottle, and Seth shared a 2010 bottle last night. All of them were awesome. :2

What is that thing, a co2 cartridge? Does it really do any good?

Right now I've got a Smutty Nose, IPA, which is an unfiltered IPA. It tastes like you took a handful of hops and chewed on them.
Also in the Fridge
Florida Beer Company, Conchtober Fest. It's a great German Marzen

I think it's nitrogen, to give you the same kind of head that you get from Guinness draft. It works

Thanks. Also, I would agree that it does seem to work.

Descutes Fresh Hop Mirror Pond. **** oh dear! I'm a big fan of Mirror Pond in its regular formulation, but this is on a whole new level. Living in Oregon has its merits in the beer department.

We tasted it in a group tasting and everyone noted a light bannan bread note. Let me know if you get that as well. It was very interesting.

No picture, but I had a Weyerbacher Merry Monk the other day that I thought was fantastic. Taking that, along with how much I enjoyed the Weyerbacher Pumkin Ale, I think I'm going to have to check out some more stuff from those guys. "Unhoppy" recommendations?

Blithering Idiot is a very good barleywine--very balanced, not overly hoppy--and Old Heathen (imperial stout)
