Hope everyone had a good holiday and hopefully scored some beer related gifts. I was lucky to get a gift card to Brew Camp and some beer books which will definately come in handy. I spent my Xmas break in St. Louis and visted some awesome bottle shops there. I brought back quite the haul including 2 fantomes, a Mikkeller sour ale, Schlafly Barrel aged Barleywine and Imperial Stouts and Jewbelation 15.
it's a great price too...about $7 for a 22oz bomber...can't beat that at 15 percent abv.

This isn't a fav christmas beer, but is very tasty and very cheap for what it is.
this year: old jubilation, affligem noel, and my favorite: ommegang adoration. Drinking a Goose Island King Henry to celebrate Christmas tonight.
