So Mum and Dad went to Chicago to visit family after Jesus' B-day and brought me back some cooool presents!
Three Floyds:
Dreadnaught IPA (Godly IPA!)
Alpha Klaus Christmas Porter (Excited to try this one)
Bear Republic:
Hop Rod Rye (My favorite commercial Rye IPA)
Southern Tier:
Un*Earthly IPA (No idea what to expect from this)
De Ranke:
Kriek De Ranke (I have heard things....)
St Bernardus:
Abt 12 (Belgian Abbey that has had really good marks)
Goose Island:
Bourbon County Brand Stout (This beer is $20/4 pack. I feel dirty knowing that my dad paid that, but it has excellent reviews, and I look forward to laying it down for a long time)
Happy New Year to me!.......oh, and to you too.

My impressions
22 ounce bottle served in my Duvel tulip.
Pours a crystal clear brilliant amber with a dense creamy resinous head. The aroma is a fabulous balance of citrus and earthy hops and sweet malt. The flavor features a dump truck of hops. Damn. Very aggressively bitter. Citrus and earthy notes, just as the aroma. Sweet malts work through, as does the alcohol. At 11% the alcohol is apparent, but not doesn?t come off as hot. Slick over the tongue. A welcome beer in my glass any day.

All those beers are stellar beers. I have had them all, except the unearthly.... If you would care to share, I would have no problem laying by your feet and licking your tattoo!

Nice haul. If you like that Abt 12, you still might be able to find a few bottles of the 60th Anniversary Abt 12 on the Missouri side. The St. Bernardus Christmas Ale was pretty nice as well.

Ask and you shall receive. The Kriek De Ranke didn't make it through New Year's eve. Excellent beer. I highly recommend it.

I got my taste tonight at the meeting! Thanks so much John. I can log that one in the taste bud database. Unfortunately it was outside, and quite cold this evening. I was afraid my tongue was going to stick to his leg. Talk about a photo op!!!
