The Bruery ’10 Lords A Leaping’ Dark Imperial Wit Ale
10 Lords A Leaping: 5.0 – Overall the taste is most like a candy black beer. It fits the Christmas theme, but it’s not really a nice beer to drink.
Price Average: $12

Dalmore Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL
Christmas time has come and gone once again, and once again a scotch has been gifted to the lounge. Sadly however it’s not a scotch as it’s been tainted by the wicked evil magic that is sherry. We’ve long been opponents of sherry aged scotches, but the recent trend of finishing in sherry has revived our hopes and can often be enjoyable. That is not the case here.
St. Bernardus ‘Prior 8’
Prior 8: 5.0 – It’s a nice brown Belgian ale and there a nut and banana flavor. But its mediocre overall, and for a big belgian import you expect more.
Price Average: $11

Bayou Select Spiced Rum 750mL
We here are big fans of Louisana. Any place with that much impact on food and music culture (and is actually good) is something we can wholeheartedly stand by. This rum, however, we wouldn’t stand by from the first sign of a light breeze. If you ever wondered what happens when you lean into the sugar cane too far – you’ve arrived.
Cambridge Brewing Company Wake up the Sun Belgium Saison
Wake up the Sun: 6.0 – It is a bit like a sour and there is a long bittersweet like aftertaste. Overall it fits the ideal of a sun shiny beer.
Price Average: $11
Mystic Brewery “Mary of the Gael” Spring Saison
Mary of the Gael: 7.5 – It is simply a delicious farmhouse ale. No faults, lots of easy flavors, and a nice balance of spice citrus and hops.
Price Average: $12

Bluecoat American Dry Gin 750mL
We’re back again on our American gin fix. Last time it was Dorothy Parker in NY, now we head a bit south to Philly, and a bit back to revolutionary times. (Both gins are made by modern recipes and such, but whatever). For a slightly overproof and pretty bottle though is the bluecoats better than the redcoats?
