I started with draft Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout and Stoudt's Winter Ale. I came home and opened a Gouden Carolus Noel.

Had a Tuscan red with dinner, but went to the pub afterwards.
Started there with Flying Dog Gonzo Porter on tap.
Then, we shared a 750ml bottle of De Proef's Zoetzuur.
Toasted the New Year with Liefmans Goudenband, also on tap.
It's been a good beer-drinking week. Looking forward to lots more in 2006.
Bink blonde, Thiriez XXtra dry-hopped farmhouse ale, and Left Hand Brewing's 10th Anniversary Imperial Stout.
Not much New Year's Eve. We did our drinking New Years Day (odd circumstances), which included a 3-liter bottle of Troegs Mad Elf, HopDevil, Shiner 96 Märzen, and a lot of liquor.
Weyerbacher Heresy, Bigfoot 2001, Thomas Hardy 2004 and a few nips of Elijah Craig 18, 2005 Sazerac, and 2005 Eagle Rare 17.

I had much less than I had planned on. A sip of Utopias, 2 bottles of SNCA, and a bottle of Thirsty Dog Siberian Night IS.

New Years' Day:
Samichlaus vertical ('03, '02, '01) -- liked the '02 best -- crisper than the '01, the '03 is way sweet.
North Coast Milennium Old Rasputin
Assorted homebrews.
was in hamburg and stopped at schiphol on the way and picked up some texel's tripel and orval and karmeliet tripel and was right impressed at how spicy satisfying the karmeliet tripel was even though the native jever pilsner is twelve shades of amazing and the maisels weisse is pretty pretty to boot
orval is still wild yeast heaven, no matter what the configuration

Had an '03 World Wide Stout at the crack of midnight. Yum.

3 liters of Mad Elf? That'd be a pretty bottle. My wife made a trip out to Northern VA in mid-December and she brought me back two sixers of that lovely stuff. That, and she somehow lugged along a three-liter bottle of Double Bastard as a Christmas present.Mad Elf is damn good stuff. Ages well, too.
Growler of Old Horizontal. It has a special flavor fresh. We all know it develops an even more special flavor with age, but I enjoyed the growler.
