So, we're up to Dec. 2 (aka. 2 beers) and I haven't seen any discussion of this Advent Calendar (other than the shout outs when people bought it in the What's your favourite beer?!? thread...

Dec. 1

Ayinger Kellerbier



Tasty, german, light flavoured wheat beer.  Unpasteurized, so it's a little cloudy & if your shake/roll it you'll get some sediment.

Dec. 2

Bise Noire Double Malt

It's French, it's 7.2% alcohol, it's dark as your IT guys heart, and it tastes faintly of licorice...

Now i'm sad I'll never find this again...

I've been out of town so I didn't get a chance to open the calendar until last night.  Glad you got a thread started though!

Out of the 3 beers, the Bise Noire Double Malt is my favourite.

I'm aware who the Dude is... I was referring to this brewery as a whole.

So, this "Dude" Oat Soda from Bad Attitude is hoppy, very carbonated, and very crisp.

There's a strong opening flavour of... I don't know, but it hits right after the hoppy bitterness.

I'd say it has a pine or even cedar taste.  Also, I noticed a very slight caramel taste.

Personally, I am not a fan of many IPA's.  I'd say this is my least favorite of the bunch.

Finally!  Someone else who has been enjoying one of these.  I am glad to see that I have been getting them in the same order as you. I have not tried the Dude yet though,  a I was starting a bit behind,  and drank the first three this evening. 

My fave at the moment is the Noire.  Dark and malty.  I love a good hoppy beer, but didn't find the Nood over the top.

I've grabbed a 6 pack or two of dogfish head 90 min IPA.  If your partial to IPA's this ones pretty good on my opinion, certainly worth a try.

Check out their Facebook page, they listed all the BC stores recieving them.  They posted last night that Liquor Depot in Kelowna may have some left.

The Gosler was a tasty beer, I'm a fan of wheat beer so it was right up my alley. 

My box had a different Dec.6 beer than you did.  I opened the window and got a malt whisky beer.
