Picked up two 6ers of Schafley Christmas at 8% last night. Haven't tasted it yet but the sales person said they tasted it when the rep dropped it off and it was great. Clove and corriander if I remember is what's listed.

North Coast - Brother Thelonias - 9.4%ABV good malty dark strong.
Magic Hat - Winter '09 - American sour ale. A dark, slightly tart ale. 1/night would be my limit.
Magic Hat - Howl - Black Lager. Aroma of wintergreen. Big turn off. I would have poured it out had I not already had a couple of beers before this one.

Matilda on tap somewhere in Iowa. Damn good.

De Graal Blond - One of the best fermented blonds I've ever had.6.5%
Biere de Gamme Rulles Tripel - Wonderful! 8.4%
Golden Carolus D'or - eh but I'm not sure something wasn't wrong with this one. 8%
Maredsous Blonde - Awful, I'm not sure it wasn't infected as I poured it down the drain.

6%

Scaldis Noel @ 13% - pretty good but obviously strong.

St Feuillien Brune - Delicious
St Martin Noel - Delicious and unbeliveably dry
DeRanke XX Bitter - waited a long time for this beer and I've got to say, I can't belive there could ever be a better beer out there!

T'Smisje winter - too much like a barleywine but at 11%.
Gruut Amber - good
La Binchoise Brune - good

Loterbol 8
Wow factor.

Rock Bottom - northside Indianapolis,

Double Barrel Pale Ale - Awesome. Plenty of hop flavor, a bit of aroma.
Double IPA - bartender called it "grass in a glass." I wouldn't call it grassy, but definitely Eric would enjoy this one. It might be enough hops for his hop head.
Brickway Brown - seemed to be somewhere between a brown and a porter.

All good and fresh. Add the wings special, and salmon fish & chips, and the surrounding 24 bbl fermentation tanks (will that fit in my basement?!?!?!), and it was a great evening!

Finally made it to the new New Albanian location.

12% Thunderfoot - Barrel Stout, really good but flat. Tiff's was not as flat it seemed when she got one later.
10.7% Hoptimus - The beer would be good but way too sweet, like Kool-aid sweet. My glass and hands were all sticky just from them serving it.
8.5% Solidarity - Porter, decent

That was all the big ones on tap so we headed to the other location.
12% Scaldis Noel - Best beer on tap I've had in a very long time. The lady loved it too!
8.5% Geant's Noel - Not much to the beer and dominate spice but drinkable.
Schmaltz He'brew Rejewvenator Strong/Fruit Ale, I think 7.5% - tasted like dirty socks, we couldn't drink it.

I'm sipping an IPA at blue Star Brewing Co. in San Antonio. I'd rate it a 7 on a scale of 10. I also tried the cask conditioned pale ale, but it was really weak. I may also test their barleywine. I walked from my hotel, but I sense a cab ride in my future.

St Peter's IPA and St Peter's Organic Pale Ale at Madeleine's. Great English style beers.

New Albanian Brewery had Kasteel Rouge on tap now too! Scaldis 12% was still flowing.

We also picked up a bunch of leftover Noels in Louisville this weekend from DeRanke, St. Feullion, and hoppy ones from Caroulus, DeRank, Chouffe and others. Great scores!

Granite City, north Kansas City --

Scottish - mild smoky, malty flavor.

Bock - almost a nutty type flavor.

Stout - very creamy, but not much on the roasted malt.

Overall, very middle-of-the-road brews.
