I love this time of year when all the winter ales come out.
What is the barley wine like? Never experienced it myself

Kev,
the barley wine style can vary quite a bit but they are always "Big Beers".
I always get a few of the more readily available such as Sierra Nevada and a hand full of Craft versions.
One of the things I look forward to in the cold months.
Here is a link with a few better known ones and descriptions.
American Barleywine | BeerAdvocate

Drank two sniffers (about 10oz each) of an American IPA that I brewed. I added three separate hop additions during the one hour long boil and dry hopped it while mellowing in the carboy; packing a 6.5 ABV it resembles the Dogfish Head 60 Minutes IPA. Boy, I love beer. HOG

Hoptimum IPA, pretty decent.

Just left an Innis & Gunn treacle porter out for Santa.
That's my name on the nice list guaranteed!

Received these as a thank-you from friends for checking in on their cats over the holidays. Am now in the midst of a decision-making crisis...

I'd be more inclined towards the dubbel or the porter but I'm not a big IPA fan

Beau's Burnt Rock vanilla porter also has my new favourite bottle cap. Nice riff on Woody's guitar.

Abita Christmas Ale is a seasonal that is different every year. This is a good year.
