51/699) beerbistro:  Hazelnut Nectar by Rogue Brewery of Oregon, U.S.A.:  **;  faint hazelnut nose;  hazelnut and mocha notes;  if Frangelico was a beer it would be a lot like this;

52/700) beerbistro:  Duchess du Bourgogne by Brouwerij Verhaeghe Vichte of Belgium:  **1/2;  this is a bottled selection, a tiny one at that, 250ml, but it packs a flavourful punch;  brewed with barley and wheat and matured in oak;  6.2%;  the nose is tart;  flavours of cider and fresh fruit;  it's a lot like a sparkling red wine with red wine flavours and bubbly cider notes;  refreshingly tart;  I would buy a bunch if the LCBO ever decided to carry it;
