White Meat, Dark Beer
by theorangedog on Nov.26, 2008, under Spirits
If the economic rhetoric produced via mass media hasn’t turned you to drinking, maybe the joyous celebration of the holidays will! Either way, choice beverage companies will be bringing in the cash. I intend on doing my part to help.
With that, I stopped by the local (and over-priced) liquor shop today to pick up a few non-standard items. I strayed from my single malt comfort zone and picked up a handful of (hopefully) quality beers. However, I was sure to keep a close tie by picking up a bottle of Ola Dubh Special Reserve 30 (for a meager $17…). This ale is finished in Highland Park 30 YO casks, which should impart an oaky taste. Oddly enough, the tasting notes on the Harviestoun website note this boldly. I say oddly because overly noticeable oak taste is not a desired trait in the whisky. I’ll be sure to return with tasting notes on this.
Below is the list of today’s run:
Ommegan 10th Anniversary
Ola Dubh Special Reserve 30
Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock (x2)
Mephistopheles Stout
TenFidy Imperial Stout
St. Peter’s Cream Stout
I love the holidays!
