Beer Advent Calendar 2014 - December 17th

Here comes another batch of posts.  It takes a long time for these communications to get transferred from SPACE.

Good news is I've almost amassed enough credits to purchase myself a lovely Cobra.

A brilliant pair of drinks today.

The Balvenie Doublewood - My first memory of a good sherry cask whisky is Sheep Dip Olorosso, but good luck finding any these days.  I know a guy...but he's already shared it with me, and the bottle is only 20cl.
Anyway - The Doublewood has a really light aroma, and quite a mild finish - which some people don't enjoy in a whisky...I do.  The fruity notes are to-the-front, which I also enjoy.  Made me feel all warm inside.

Brewery Achouffre - La Chouffre Dobbelen IPA Tripel
Belgians...how do they do it?



Second of three Achouffre beers in the calendar, and it's a brilliant second showing.
Smells smooth and inviting, hint of yeast and sweetness.  Nice and rich flavours balanced well with a bittersweet finish.  Terrific triple.

This beer is wunderbar!
