12 Beers to Christmas

On the 12th day before Christmas, my true love gave to me...12 different beers!  Zoë went "unleashed" at Belmont Party Supply today and brought home my own little advent calendar of sorts.  Bless her.  First Valentines Day, now Christmas.  I can't wait for Flag Day...I'm thinking keg...with a flag on it.

Founders Backwoods Bastard, a bourbon barrel aged ale.  Bastard indeed.  10.2% ABV.  Even though this ale has a high alcohol content, it doesn't taste like it.  My initial impression was bourbon.  In fact that is really the predominate taste, with a little bit of vanilla somewhere too.  Very good and very drinkable.
