My brother and I went all out in our selection of holiday/winter ales for a Christmas tasting. Of course, K&L (with the help of ale god Bryan Brick) was the store of choice to make my selections. Out of all the interesting and superb winter ales I had, none of them came close to Ommegang Adoration. What a stunner. This is the best holiday ale I have had to date. The ale is dark and malty in body with intense orange peel flavors, and added aromatic spices that brought this ale to class of its own. Other spices holiday ales do not taste like this. Trust me. I tried many an ale from all over the world. It is worth the price and tastes like a Christmas/holiday festivity should taste like.

What an excellent value Bordeaux with a unique style that will reward after 20-30 minutes of decanting (if you can wait that long). As the wine opens, flavors of dried dark cherry and plum skins with an earthy/tobacco undertone rise to meet your palate. Not too sweet, not acidic, no mouth-puckering tannins in this. This one stands out from the rest in it's unique and strong flavor profile. Give it a try for something new.

Fantastic Spanish Red with an incredibly smooth, bold and juicy body. Must buy more of this. It's too easy to drink.

A dry dark fruit and pronounced smokiness in this rich old vine Ribera Del Duero wine. This is very good, especially for those who love smokey wines.

Chocolate, malt, coffee, toffee, bourbon deepness that enhance the already incredible standard Old Rasputin recipe. It's richness approaches that of a good dark 70-80% single origin chocolate. Truly a stunner.
