New beers:
Stone Brewing Co. Double Bastard 2009 22oz
*Stone's classic American Strong Ale, brewed and bottled in 2009. Happy San Diego Beer Week! No holds, don't even ask, LIMIT 1*
Drake's Brewing Jolly Rodger 2014 22oz
*An Imperial Coffee Stout made with Kenyon Kangunu coffee which adds layered flavors of caramelized stone fruit, black currant, light tobacco, and caramel to the rich roasted malt flavors of the beer. Another great Jolly Rodger and one that's more limited this particular year, 9% ABV, LIMIT 2*
Bell's Brewery, Inc. (Official) Christmas Ale 12oz
*A Winter Warmer, Christmas Ale made without spices; all of the dry, toasted notes and toffee flavors come from the 100% Michigan-grown barley balanced by a blend of hops from Michigan and the Pacific Northwest which lend subtle, earthy, herbal notes, 5.5% ABV*
Dupont Brewery (Brasserie Dupont) Triomfbier Vooruit 100 750ML
*Brewed for the 100 year anniversary of a historic art gallery in Ghent, Belgium. An organic Farmhouse Amber Ale brewed with Scottish peated malt which adds an earthy, smoky muskiness to the beer. As usual with Dupont, the yeast character and mouthfeel is great. An enjoyable and fun one-off brew by one of my favorite breweries of all time, 6% ABV*
Dupont Avec Les Bons Voeux 750ML
*Arguably the best Saison in the world, 9.5% ABV*
