Rare & Intriguing Selections from Alec’s Cellar…

Hop Harvest
Brouwerij De Ranke, Belgium, 6% (750ml)
De Ranke Hop Harvest is a hoppier version of the XX Bitter. The 2011 vintage was brewed with Brewers Gold for bitterness and Hallertau for aroma. A rare treat that is only available once a year. This beer has a beautifully dank nose and a long grassy finish. Another gem from De Ranke.

Imperial Stout Trooper
New England Brewing Co, CT, 9.2% (750ml)
Brewed in a brewery not too far away and not too long ago… Imperial Stout Trooper is a full bodied stout with a majestic blend of seven different malts and Northern Brewer hops.

Oude Lambiek De Cam
De Cam Geuzestekerij, Belgium, 5%
Aged in vats older than 100 years, De Cam’s Oude Lambiek is a blend of unpasteurized 3 year old lambics specially selected by brewer/blender Karel Goddeau for their character & roundness. Still, without a head, Oude Lambiek should be enjoyed like a fine white wine but prized for the wonderful, rare & spontaneously fermented Belgian Ale that it is!

2008 De Struise Pannepot Reserva
Old Fisherman’s Ale
De Struise Brouwers, Belgium, 10%
The Pannepot Reserva earned its name from 14 months spent in French Oak. A hazy dark-brown colored beer with a creamy beige froth, the Reserva’s aroma is very malty and softly spicy with accents of dried fruits. It tastes of oak, caramel, fruit, coffee, and refreshing hops. The beer is full bodied but has a prickly effervescent carbonation to cut it. It tastes lightly sweet with a sort of dark honey flavor to it without the cloying sweetness, yet still rich and satiating. The tart and sweet are in perfect balance here, a finesse that is rarely achieved. Definitely a tour de force.

Firestone Walker XV
Firestone Walker, California, 12.5%
As a finished beer, XV is alive with amazing complexity and yet it is quite possibly the most integrated and seamless blend from Firestone yet. Looking at a blend of 8 beers on paper at first looks chaotic and potentially disjointed; however, a closer look reveals and interesting theme: 76% Barley Wine style beers, 19% Stout and 5% Imperial IPA. The game changer this year is the addition of Double Jack to the blend. This beer is unfiltered and unrefined, so there will be a small amount of sediment in the bottom of the bottle. As the beer sits and breathes in the glass, a richer, orange zested, chocolate dusted, vanilla custard character is reveled, so take your time.
