Some Beer with Ribeye (yep another one)..

Some Canadian...

Unibroue - Eau Bénite

Hoppin' Frog Silk Porter

How's the silk porter? I'm having more of their doris double oatmeal raisin imperial stout right now

Didn't like the first one that much - so moving on to the second.. like it much better (damned - trying not to read too much into it)

Unibroue - Maudite

Bonal and Rye face-off! I think I agree with Jim that the subtlety of the Mandarine Napoleon is slightly nicer in the end that the sweetness of Shrubb. They are both awesome though.

It's just okay. I think their stouts and barley wines are the winners of the bunch.

Joining the Bonal & Rye party, Napoleon style!

friend of mine has a B.O.R.I.S. Royale...hopin' to be 'round when he opens it:)...

I found another Dark Intrigue, so...that...

Bonal and Rye: Never a bad choice. Nice x2 or 3

Decided on something lighter so went with an Eva Peron Cocktail

3/4 oz Domaine de Canton Ginger Liquer

3/4 oz Carpano Antica

3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice

1/4 oz Fernet Branca

Shake with ice then strain over ice in a Collins glass. Top with Ginger Beer and a lime wedge.

Nice! Don't cry for me or Eva.

Speaking of x2, I just made another B&R on the rocks. Maybe it is a typo or your hatred of Fernet, Jim, but my recipe said equal parts across the board. I actually think it is one of the nicer Fernet recipes, and coincidentally I made one for Claire tonight.

Domaine des Croix Beaune Les CentsVignes Premier Cru. Felt like a Burgundy and these 100 year old vines are win.

Whiskey Skin

Hmmm, that was the recipe on the Domaine de Canton web site. So I went back for seconds but bumped everything up to 1oz and it is better. Thanks Al.

Note to self: buy some Domaine de Canton (need a way to use up the FB). Ooh, just saw that they have a 375ml bottle of DC at my place. They should sell 375ml bottles of everything!

Marc is quite parallel. Jim's whiskey skin opened part 2 of this thread on January 2, 2011. Nicely done.

so does that mean we close it out and start a 2012 edition?
