The last time we had a vodka from Holland it was well – not well received. This was most likely because it was gimmicky, it tasted and smelled awful, it was over-priced, and it was the definition of Eurotrash. The good news I bring today as a close to this year is that Dutchcraft is awesome. (But is not Minecraft)
Happy Christmas and Boxing Day. Because we do Wine Reviews live instead of in advance, there is no wine review this week. Enjoy your holidays!
Berkshire Brewing Company Holidale: 7.0 – The barleywine style makes this as rich as a porter without the middling flavor that most atypical porters have. It’s the kind of beer I can see myself drinking on Christmas eve watching the football game. Which is mostly likely what I am currently doing.

I decided for Christmas time I should get a nice bourbon to round out my usual fare. I’d seen 1792 around, but it wasn’t at some of the whiskey tastings I’ve visited. I will add though that I was not disappointed in my choice.
Lost Abbey Devotion Ale: 6.0 – It’s hoppy but it’s not a sharp hoppy taste, and I quite like it. Compared to what I see other beers of theirs going for, this is well worth it.

Abita Amber Lager: 3.0 – This is one of the most tasteless beers I’ve ever had, it’s not bad – but I get more taste from bud light.

So there I was, in a New Hampshire liquor store. I was stocking up on so many things (I love you Ezra Brooks), but sadly the store I was at was smaller, and had almost nothing for a scotch selection. Worse what was there were things I’d already had/reviewed. There was something that stood out, that I had not seen before.
