with one cube. Two of them. This is my first bottle of Elijah, and I was not overly impressed with it neat, a few nights ago. The ice last night helped.

Killed off the rest of a bottle of 2001 Vacqueyras. It can be so nice to drink a decent wine that has actually been aged close to the right time (though this one would probably have been good for the next five years as well).

I had a glass of Monk's Blood, from The 21st Amendment Brewery. Beer Advocate describes it thusly:

"Monk's Blood is an 8.3% alcohol, dark Belgian-style ale brewed with eight malts, Belgian candi sugar, cinnamon, vanilla bean, dried local black mission figs and aged on oak for a flavor unlike anything you've ever had from a can.

"

It was delicious!

Unfortunately for me, due to an over enthusiastic run in with a verticle of Anchor Christmas Beers, I find most spiced ales to be undrinkable.:eusa_doh:

I swear to this day the memory of that run in is stored not only in in my brain but also in my spinal cord.[huh]

Pale Ales and IPA's

Last night was the second beer school at a local pub. An interesting mixture of English and American IPA'a (with a Belgian thrown in at the end).

We tasted (in order, as far as I can read my notes):

Samuel Smith English Pale Ale (basic bitter)
Firestone Walker American Pale Ale
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Batemans **XB English Best Bitter
Bombardier English Premium Bitter
Fullers English ESB
Left Hand Brewing 400lb Monkey IPA
Meantime English IPA
Snoqualmie IPA
Stone IPA
Port Brewing Wipe-Out IPA
Laughing Dog Dogzilla American Black IPA
Victory Hop Wallop American Double (Imperial) IPA
Urthel Hop It Belgian IPA

The contrast between the English and American beers was interesting; the English generally being maltier with less hops bitterness.

If I have to claim a single favourite of the evening it would have to be the Batemans **XB. Good balanced flavour with hops, but not hops-dominated.
