The Beer: Say hello to a Special Ale 2007 (yearly Christmas ale) from the Anchor Brewing Company in San Fransisco, California. She pours a deep dark brown with a creamy tan head. Smells strongly of vanilla and tangerines with nutmeg topping it all off. The flavour is mostly roasted caramel with light citrus and spices but towards the finish you get a tongue full of tangy fruits. Pretty decent winter brew but the aftertaste isn't all you'd want it to be but it may be because of the age. Contains 5.5% alcohol and ran me $12 for a six. One thumb up but as always get a second opinion.

The Blues: Upbeat swinging jump gets the party started - Let's get it on:

The Beer: Say hello to a limited edition of an IPA from the oak aged beer of Innis & Gunn. This bottle is one of of 68,000 so I figure I got myself something special. She comes in her own special box and once out in the open she pours a clear bronze with a mucho white head with short retention. The lace is minor. Smells of flowers and caramel and sweet citrus. Going down she is nothing like the India Pale Ales I've had in the past. Minor hops and instead of the expected bite you get a smooth and creamy vanilla flavour that caresses the tongue but it has a strong taste of oak with the reason being the stuff is apparently aged in oak casks. Good stuff boys and girls - contains 6.40% alcohol and ran me around $4.00 Canadian for a 330 ml bottle. Two thumbs up but as always get a second opinion.
