Day 9 of 24.


Definitely an extra stout.  Overwhelmed with roasted flavours with a bitter finish.  Wouldn't drink again. 

Day 10 of 24. 


What a bitter beer but somehow it was smooth.  I definitely could not believe that it was a 9.4% alc. beer.  I would definitely drink again.

Day 11 of 24.  Brouwerij De Molen - Winter Saison.


Nothing extraordinary.  Amber in colour but mostly hops in taste.  I only got a hint of spice at the end.

Day 12 of 24.  Bowar Wasosz & Humalove Brewing - Pukki.  It appears to only have 3% alc./vol. 

At this point I believe that qualifies as "pop".

Without the sugar.  Spruce shoots? Smoked wheat malt?  It's going to be interesting... 

Definitely was interesting.  Mine was flat but it smelled like smoke and tasted like smoke with a hint of spruce.  Won't be getting you drunk any time soon.

10%!

I was going to post in this thread, but then I wasn't sure if you hadn't posted this day, or if I couldn't find it in my "9% beer from red racer calendar + this 10% beer from the craft calendar on an empty stomach" state.  Easy drinking, that's for sure.

Day 13 of 24.


This was a sipping beer for me.  Good but very strong.

Day 14 of 24.


I just don't like sour beers.  This one didn't smell like puke/vomit and it has a good taste but that aftertaste, ugh...  My wife ended up drinking it all.

Day 15 of 24.



Too much dark beer for me and I'm a fan of dark beers.

Day 16 of 24.  Gno More Gnomes - Brewski & Evil Twin.


Wow, one of the outstanding beers in the calendar.  I want more!


Day 17 of 24.  Black Alligator - Monyo Brewing Co.


Another outstanding beer.  This calendar is picking up its pace!

Day 18 of 24.  Molotov - Birrificio Del Ducato


I loved it.  It was an interesting beer no doubt.  Definitely my favourite Birrificio del Ducato out of all the calendars.

Day 19 of 24.  Shepherd's Watch - Wold Top Yorkshire Brewery.


Now, this is the one gem out of the calendar.  I am not sure any of the other beers will top it.
