It's been a while since I posted. I did actually do a bit of cross checking and found that I have actually finished 62 beers up till today.
So, the new year is here and what better way than to get started than trying a new couple of beers. One of my resolutions this year is to get back on the beer horse. I will do better - more beer drinking! I've got seven more (after these two) - so that should keep me going (at least through this weekend).
Thanks to my sister-in-law for these two beers.
Unibroue's Blanche de Chamblay (Rating = 4.5)
Reading the short description of this one in the book was interesting. Apparently, the re-introduction of the Belgian whites in North America started with the guy from Hoegaarden, when he migrated to the US. On his way to settle in Texas, he stopped in Canada and helped with this beer.
This has definitely been one of my recent favorites - a great white beer with some good citrus taste but with some kick and body to it also. I would definitely recommend this one.
Brooklyn's Black Chocolate Stout (Rating = 4.0)
I enjoyed this one with a light dessert and it was perfect. I'd have to say this is one of the best stouts that I've had in a while. I've tried many chocolate stouts and they always seem to get the balance off. This one was perfect - the really interesting part is that this actually has no chocolate in it. The flavor is born out of mix of mashes and hops. Apparently it is a Russian style Imperial Stout and it was really tasty. Highly recommended. Plus, a nice kick - 10% alcohol.
Two winners today.
