Christmas 2012 what are you opening?

[Damo]

Supprised nobody has started this already!!!

I'm having a Westmalle tripel with D'turkey. 
and for the pudding I'm having a Chimay Red.

After that.....??

[LordEoin]

I'll be driving, so I'll make up for it tonight with a few beers from an English Bitter kit with choc grain, EKG, fuggles and US05. Tasty Combination!

[johnrm]

Tried a Sanity Clause.
Bland, zero head, disappointing.
Followed by 8 degrees Irish Red, quite nice.

[Will_D]

Well here goes (not driving and cooking in the "Floyd" style:

Glass of dry Irish stout
Bottle of P9 ( James' ) Milk Stout (gorgeous)
Bottle of James' Christams IPA (absolute brill !!)
Glass of my Wills Winter Warmer
Bottle of what Jacob gave me in the summer I think its a WestVlettern clone ( certainly tastes brilliant )

Daisy Duck ( bigger Breasts than Donnald ) is on hre sunbed at 190C.

Duck and all the trimmings will be washed down with a nice St. Emillion Grand Cru

[size=14]and then the serious drinking can start[/size]:

2 year old Sloe Gin, my not so old vintage Port and then there is the Westy Brick to open.

Happy days

Will

Thats sounds fantastic.

Santa left me a westy brick

she actually does listen to me, who knew?
Im toying with the idea of putting this away long term

Bottle of what Jacob gave me in the summer I think its a WestVlettern clone ( certainly tastes brilliant )

Believe it or not but it's not belgian beer
It's a 19th century mild receipe that I've brewed in Feb for IHBP - 100% MO fermented with Windsor, hopped with Fuggles&EKG. Glad u like it

[johnrm]

I'm interested in that recipe Jacob, just MO?
I have some Windsor trub in the fridge waiting for something to Munch on.

[johnrm]

My Windsor may not live that long.
I may have to cook up something on between, how bad?!

[johnrm]

Sorry about OT...

A sensible say for me, I had a Sharps Chalkys Bark, lovely.
Followed by Franciscan Well Jameson Stout, which I thought would have been better. The cask recently was that bit better.

Cantilllon kriek with goose. Really good match. The acidity of the kriek cut through the fatiness of the goose and some how the goose seemed to bring out the fruitiness of the kriek which can often seem quiet subdued with all the lambic stuff going on.
