In all we tasted:
2006 vintage Abyss - stand out of the day for me. Obviously. Awesome chocolate aroma. Subdued flavors of roasted malts, chocolate, dark fruit, charred flavors, and vanilla. This one has come together nicely. As Bill Brand would say "a stunner".
2007 vintage Abyss
2008 vintage Abyss
Westvleteren 12
Westvleteren 8
Anchor Our Barrel Ale - Aged in Anchor Rye whiskey barrels. Caramel, vanilla, rye, wood flavors. A gem from Anchor. Hopefully I have the patience to sit on my bottle for awhile. I imagine it will be even better in 8-12 months.
Bell's Hopslam
Troeg's Nugget Nectar
Bear Republic APEX - on tap
And probably some other stuff I've forgotten.
Good times. Thanks to everyone that brought out the beer, chocolate, and cheese.
