384/2202) Home:  2017 Bridge Street Holiday Ale by Crazy Mountain Brewing Company of Colorado, U.S.A.:  **;  6.5%, 22 ibu;  brewed with maple syrup and spices;  powerful ginger nose;  spiced gingerbread flavours;  lingering herbal after taste; 

385/2203) Home:  N'Ice Chouffe by Brasserie d'Achouffe of Belgium:  **1/2;  10%;  a Donker Winter beer brewed with invert sugar syrup, thyme and curaçao;  sweet, dark honey nose;  rich, sweet, sugary flavours, dried fruit, warming alcohol;

To my delight, McChouffe is (temporarily) available in Ontario.  Neither is part of the Advent Calendar.  They are both the wrong size to begin with but beyond that either would be a good addition.
