My Top 5 Favorite Beers This Winter

1. Dogfish Head - Indian Brown Ale  
I recently posted about my new found love for this hoppy, yet caramel-y flavored beer.  Nutty and strong and goes well with a sugary treat.  Like a true connoisseur, I paired it with a Ghirardelli brownie. $

2. Duvel - Belgian Golden Ale
When you think of Belgian beer, you think of Duvel.  World class beer and highly ranked and favored over many others.  This here is a great drink.  At an 8.5% ABV, you'll be feeling it after one pint.  This, my friends, is the true champagne of beers.  $$

3. Left Hand - Milk Stout
The best milk stout, IMHO, on the market these days.  Perfectly sweet from the lactose and nicely carbonated.  Quite filling, but very satisfying. $

4. Oskar Blues - Old Chub Scotch Ale (Nitro)
This one came as a surprise because I typically shy away from nitro beers.  Old chub was a delightful and strong Scottish ale.  Beer advocate gives it a very high score, as do many willing and daring taste testers.  Do try! $

5. Rogue - Hazelnut Brown Nectar 
Just, wow.  I love a good nut ale, but this here English brown ale with a very nutty, hazelnut tone is delicious.  Just go buy it, I'll let this one speak for itself.  $

Give some of these a go and let me know what you think.  If you've had some before what are your thoughts?  What have you been drinking??

Cheers!
