It's that time to list what you got for Christmas.
For my mom: money.

Aunts (3): Gloves, money, hat, money, candy, Best Buy gift certificate.
Amy: Nick Drake - Fruit Tree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_Tree_(Nick_Drake_album) the 86 release.

St. Peter's Cream Stout: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/296/2442
And a six pack of Dogfish Head Chicory Stout: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/10099/1153
Review of the stout: The bottle says it has a "bonewhite head," when it's actually a shade or two darker than a light khaki color. It keeps a small head through out, but does little lacing. It pours with excessive carbonation, I almost thought I was going to start drinking a coke for a moment, but the carbonation settles fairly quickly and your left with moderate to slightly lower levels.
Unfortunately I've never had chicory, so I didn't know what to expect, with that being said though, there wasn't an over abundance of it, because I couldn't even taste it. It must be a fairly subtle hint of it. What you get is what you'd expect, lots of coffee and dark chocolate flavors, roasted malt and what not. The aromas are similar as well.
I'd give it a B- It's a solid stout, nothing quite exceptional about it though.
I didn't review the Rochefort, but WOW. Might be my new favorite beer
