Is the Santa’s Helper a Rogue Clone? I tried that beer for the first time recently and really like it.
Premium bitter, Imperial Amber, BVIP, Dubbel and maybe 1988 Opus One (if I decide to open it.)
Nope, it’s my own kinda “Uber alt”. The Rogue beer is Santa’s Private Reserve.
Right you are. Santa’s Private Reserve. Great beer!
My “holiday” spiced dubbel, and probably a bottle or two of 23% barleywine.
And a vertical tasting ('07, '08, '09) of Trader Joe’s Unibroue-brewed holiday release, but that’s probably going to happen New Year’s Eve, assuming I can get off work.
