 The Bruery Two Turtle Doves 4.1kmyers8807 
Bottle. Very dark brown/black with a couple fingers of head that disappeared quickly to leave nice brussels lace. Dark chocolate taste with the booze coming through, though very well balanced. Also hints of sugar and dark fruits. I had planned to share while watching football, but I just couldnt.
 Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig Ale 3.6WVHouseofBeer 
One of my favorite Christmas inspired ales, this Sam Adams offering is heavy on the spices, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon and little light on the body. A spice cake nose and dark brown body with thin tan head makeup the appearance of the brew, while a ginger heavy body makes Old Fezziwig a true Ginger Ale!
 Duyck Jenlain Bière de Noël 3.1joe19612 
Bottle. The beer pours an amber colour with a thin off white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma has a dry and slightly fruity scent as well as a mild crystal malt aroma. The taste is average. It has a thin and watery crystal malt flavor that does have some light nuttiness in the finish, but overall is dry and boring. It’s a bit fruity with some light musty character. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a medium bodied beer with adequate carbonation.
 Deschutes Jubelale 2.9alagnak 
Bottle. Nose is light toffee and slight woody bitterness, with sweet caramel malts most prominent. Taste is the nutty, slightly dirty caramel malt from the nose and a roof-of-the-mouth bitterness with some slight spice (ginger?) that I can’t quite place. Kind of muddled and all over the place and the bitterness is just that - bitter, with not a lot of flavor around it. Just OK.
 Youngs Bitter (Bottle conditioned - 4.5%) 2.7ogivlado 
Bottled 500ml. -from www.beershop.hr
Dark goledn/pale amber coloured, medium sized white head, dusty grainy nose. Moderate malty, grainy and fresh hoppy with notes of caramel. Odd touch of fruits in the finish. Mild carbonation, bitter aftertaste. Average bitter.
 Raasted Double Imperial Stout 3.8TaktikMTL 
Bouteille de 250 ml obtenue via Importations Privées Bièropholie. Arôme: Odeur de café torréfié et de chocolat avec une pointe fruitée. Apparence: La couleur est noire opaque. Saveur: Goût de chocolat et de café torréfié avec une pointe d’alcool. Longue durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est plein avec une texture légèrement onctueuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Arrière goût chocolaté. (Rating #2798)
 Gold Ochsen Special 1.9FatPhil 
500ml bottle (OPP, Helsinki. German Weeks 2009)
Simple lagery aroma. Crisp carbonation. Some maltiness. Not exciting but drinkable.
 Mahrs Bräu Kellerbier Ungespundet Hefetrüb 3.2swooper 
On tap in Zlý časy, Prague, light yeast aroma, hazy golden colour, white foam, medium sweet, medium bitter, medium body, medium co2, good kelerbier
 Red Rock Organic Zwickel Bier 2.3bu11zeye 
(Draught) Pours a hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of grass, herbs, and some lemon. Flavor of mild crisp hops (grass, herbal, earth, lemon zest) and grain with a dry finish.
 Kronen Pils 1.9FatPhil 
500ml bottle (OPP, Helsinki. German Weeks 2009)
Slightly herby aroma. Some sweetness, some mustard too. Sharp carbonation. Plastick and dull malts. Little hopping. Dull, dull, dull.
 Hofmühl Hell 2.1FatPhil 
500ml bottle (OPP, Helsinki. German Weeks 2009)
Fairly bland aroma - a touch plasticky. Very simple beery taste. Nothing wrong but dreadfully boring. Milky. OK I guess.
 Raasted Oak Aged Imperial Stout 3.9TaktikMTL 
Bouteille de 250 ml obtenue via Importations Privées Bièropholie. Arôme: Odeur de café et de chêne avec une pointe chocolatée. Apparence: La couleur est noire opaque. Présence d’un mince col beige mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de café torréfié et de chêne avec une pointe d’houblons résineux. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement vineuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de réglisse noire en arrière goût. (Rating #2797)
 Charlevoix Vache Folle Bravo Double IPA 2.9alagnak 
Bottle from Secret Santa 2009. Nose is lots of pineapple and grapefruit and a nice pungent spiciness. Slight resin and piney smell. Flavor, sadly, does not meet the promise of the nose. When cold on first few sips, the piney resin shows upfront with some minerally sweetness to finish and a slightly oily finish and hint of alcohol. As it warms, the pleasant grapefruit and tropical fruit notes are totally overwhelmed by candy sugar and alcohol. By the end of the glass, the booze just totally overwhelmed any other flavor. Started and smelled nice, but in the end was a booze-bomb. Not sure on freshness, so would be good to try again on a known fresh bottle.
 Kocour V3 Rauchbier 3.5swooper 
On tap in Zlý časy Prague, Typical roasty smoked aroma, hazy, semidark colour, medium bitter, light sweet, full body, smoked body, very good smoked beer
 Widmer Brothers W10 Black IPA 4.8cathcacr 
I think I just love this style. This is a really well-done Black IPA. I recommend trying this blind up against the standard-bearers of the style (in particular Stone XI/Self-Righteous). There’s an extra grainy/malty/bready dimension to this style that doesn’t exist in regular IPAs, that makes for a very welcome balance.

…and a nice herbal hoppy presence in the aroma. Soft hay and grains greet the tongue, followed by a touch of honeybread and earthy hops right along side it; finish is a bit on the hoppy side. Clean, crisp, but still full of flavor; both malt and hops are strong,… -- badbeer of Rothaus Pils Tannen Zäpfle
