Some new beers - tasty, enticing, aromatic and evocative - Festive enough to ring in the Holiday season:
Bourbon Imperial Brown Goose - Goose Island Beer Co., Chicago, Illinois, USA - Bourbon barrel-aged, with hints of chocolate, coffee, and coconut! A rich, drink-by-the-fireplace beer - while visions of sugar-plums dance in your head...
Triple White Sage - Craftsman Brewing Company, Pasadena, California, USA - Lightly sweet, herbal, boozy, peppery, tropical fruit - velvety smooth, not unlike a Belgian strong pale ale.
Alaskan Winter Ale - Alaskan Brewing Company, Juneau, Alaska, USA - brilliant copper, malty, chewy, with the sweet, flowery scent of spruce tips (think honeysuckle and citrus). Addictive!!!
