My wife had a Dirty Ho this weekend- 3/4 Hoegarden White and 1/4 Framboise Lambic.
Aside from being awfully fruity, it was actually fairly tasty.

Wouldn't that be black and black?

I've heard as such from a good friend of mine who knows his beer. Seems that will be a pickup this week for me.

If you can still find it. The Leviathan series current release is now a baltic porter (which was pretty solid BTW).

Sitting down @ Brew City in Wormtown w/ a Belgian- Piraat Tripel... excellent. Reminds me of Duvel. Citrus... bready, clean finish. Scary drinkable for 9% ABV.
made a black he'brew over thanksgiving. guinness and one of the offerings from this brewery...

Bottle or tap? Love the bottle, had it on tap, and was dissapointed. Lost a lot of character, and just walloped with the alcohol.

Tap... so maybe I should get a bottle and it'll be even better.
This was weird though, I actually thought it was better a little colder unlike most ales I drink. It had more spice coming through colder... I let it warm considerably over the course of the meal...
Paired GREAT with the artichoke/spinach pizza though.

Get a bottle. Drink it cool, but not cold (55-60 or so). Gooood stuff.
Had another disappointing adventure with a Polish beer- Kujawiak. Like Black Boss and Havlicek, it tastes a bit like someone dropped a case of Riccolas into the wort.Of those three, Kujawiak was the best- once you got past the cough drops, it had some nice bock bones to it.
I'm beginning to wonder about the quality of the beers available from the Warsaw Deli in Stamford- 3 of 4 have been bad- the one good one (and it's a favorite) was Hevelius Kaper. Such a tasty brew. Never had a skunky beer taste so herbally, though, so I'm left to wonder.

Ya know, I wanna say I was tasting peak flavor around 50 degrees.... the restaurant was quite warm however, and probably didn't take long to get to room temperature.
Also... I highly recommend Brew City... they have a decent tap selection that always changes and a great bottle selection. They had some Trappists that I couldn't even find at Yankee Spirits.

Enjoyed a DFH theobrama last night. Much mellower, more subtle that the usual DFH offerings.At first I was disappointed, but as I sipped it grew on me. At 9%, honey must make a significant portion of the fermentables to yield such a mellow bodied beer. Can't say I could pick out the cocoa. I thought I got a little chile in the finish, but that could just be the power of suggestion. Complex, but in a mellow way.
Still not worth the 10.99 though.

I'd say the real value there is in encouraging them to keep doing crazy things like that.
