1) Cambridge House - Big Hoppy - Dipa 10% or so...not bad a bit malty for my tastes though.
2) Terrapin - Wake n Bake - Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout. 8.1% - Coffee Bomb - 2011 vintage. This has to be insane fresh!
3) Independence Brewing - Convict Hill - Oatmeal Stout - 9.2% - Not bad at all. I think stouts and porters are going to be the way to go today!

Coming up to Christmas Beer Review!
May do this in several stages...who knows!
1) Karbach Brewing - Yule Shoot your Eye Out - Winter Warmer 8% - I guess a Winter Warmer is a brown ale with spices. I do like the style though and this does not dissapoint. Karbach is from Texas and the label is funny, kind of based on the Christmas Story movie, a picture of the leg lamp is on the label etc. Have a bourbon barrel aged version coming shortly!
2) Clown Shoes - Porcine Unidragon - RIS BB aged 12.5% - I logged this but I think I passed out...trying to get things in order. By the way I know why I passed out!
3) Smuttynose - Zinneke - Belgian Style Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels - Don't get much of the expected bananna yeast tice but a load of cherry. No bourbon to speak of.
4) Foothills Brewing - Peoples Porter - 6.0% - Nice English Porter, a tad hoppy!
5) Maine Beer Company - King Titus - American Porter - 7.5% - Guy at Decicco's told me as good as HF Everett...no! Still good though!
6) Charter Oak Brewing - 1687 Brown Ale - Not bad contract brewed
7) St. Arnolds - Pumpkinator - Abv ??? - Might have kicked my ass!

Weekend Beer Review.
1) Blue Mountain - Blitzen - 7.0% - Belgian Strong Dark Ale? I guess? Winter warmer at best.
2) Rushing Duck - Ded Morosz - 12% or so Russian Imperial Stout. Doing a battle with a growler right now. Me and a snifter vs. 64 oz.
3) Clown Shoes - Third Party Candidate - 10% - Smooth Iimperial Amber ale cut by an Oatmeal Ale. Nice idea!
