BONUS! I must have forgotten a day, because there’s two left in the case… so today you get two entries… along with the last three that I haven’t posted yet, so it’s a big’un. Enjoy! Merry Holidays and Happy Christmas!
December 21
DuClaw Brewing – Sweet Baby Jesus! – 6.2% ABV
Chocolate, peanut butter, and beer are three of my favourite things. This brew is sure to please any porter fan. A strong peanut butter smell hits the nose. First sip is like biting into a dark chocolate peanut butter cup. Mmmmmm. 8/10
December 22
West six brewing – Christmas Ale – 9% ABV
Muddy reddish in colour, topped with a thick off white head. Christmas spices of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice dominate the nose. Dark, sweet malty flavour. Balances the spices well leaving a nice well rounded flavour. 7/10
December 23
Sound Brewery – Old Yonder Ale – 7.3%ABV
Coloured brown, with light reddish tints. Mild nutty flavour. Good tasting, but no remarkable flavours. 5/10
December 24
Black Market Brewing Co – Cherry Sour – 3.8% ABV
It’s red, like Cranberry juice, topped with a light head of pink. Sour smell on the nose. First taste is very sour, but it fades quickly into a lightly sweet, cherry aftertaste. A little bit like a sour-patch kid. Great crossover beer, or those looking for something a little different. 4/10
Yukon Brewing – Longest Night – 6% ABV
A dark amber ale, coloured like strongly brewed tea. Dark and nutty on the nose, with hints of vanilla. Strong hops powered bitterness hits the tongue with floral notes rounding out the flavour. A satisfying brew. 7/10
