B.O.W.W.O.W.

Beer of the Week:

Now that the winter season is upon us like a wet, black cloak, the b.o.w.'s will be primarily the darker, heavier stouts, scotch ales, and barley wines (as opposed to the crisp blonde summer ales).  "Ca'Canny" is a porter-style ale at 5.2% ABV from the Kelburn brewing company. Outstanding coffee and chocolate richness with a deep fruity aftertaste - just like the label says (and they're not exaggerating)!

Whisky of the Week:

"Bruichladdich" 12-year, another whisky from my favorite region, Islay.  Subtle for an Islay malt since this one is unpeated.  Green fruits (pear/apple) and vanilla are predominant.  Full malty sweetness.
