162/1747) Home:  Mocha Machine (Bourbon Barrel Porter) by Great Lakes Brewery of Ontario:  **1/2;  8.3%,30 ibu;  rich vanilla and mocha nose with dark coffee;  mocha is stronger in the flavour followed closely by the vanilla;  rich and sweet;

I am going to test my will power and try to age the second bottle.

163/1748) Home:  Bock de Joliette by Microbrasserie L'Alchimiste of Quebec:  *1/2;  6.1%, sweet sugary nose;  sweet and sugary with a touch of maple;

The bottle reads, "Pas besoin d'avoir 56 sortes de verres, est bonne direct dans bouteille", which rattles me just a bit.  I am more of a beer snob than I might admit to being.  Maybe.  I think.
