This post is a part of the 2015 New Beer Every Day Beer Diary Challenge, #ottbeerdiary. Over the course of 2015, I will be trying a new beer every day. Please read the background in the link above, and enjoy reading about the most recently tasted beers below. If you’d like to join the challenge as well, let me know in the comments below, and be sure to check out Grown-up Travel Guide and his #grownupbeerdiary, where Andy Higgs came up with the diary format in use below. You can catch up on all of our posts as part of the challenge under the tag ottbeerdiary.
From December 1 through December 24, I’m going to try to use a Christmas Beer for each day of Advent as part of my #ottadvent15 2015 Advent Calendar. Follow along with the tag ottadvent15.
Day 356: December 22, 2015
Diary entry:
Had my last scheduled meetings of 2015 today. Not a single workshop, meeting, conference call, offsite, etc. scheduled between December 23 and Jan 3! Not sure what I’m going to do with myself!
The only downside of the last meetings today, is that the last of these was scheduled from 6PM – 7PM, and wound up going until 8PM. But once it was done, I was done!
I will still be at work tomorrow, and maybe Monday/Tuesday next week…undecided there yet. Nothing else planned until my brother arrives in Brussels on the 30th. A totally open agenda!
Something tells me beer will be involved.
And the couch.
And movies.

God jul Whisky (2015) by Nøgne Ø. 9.5% ABV, 33 class bottle. Love the liquorice flavor on top the dark chocolate, dark fruits, and spices in this one. Delicious!
Commercial Description (Bottle Label):
From all of us to all of you: a very merry Christmas! This full bodied ale is brewed to celebrate the dark winter season. Aged in fresh whisky barrels for two and a half years it has really become the warming friend that will embrace you and give shelter from the cold.
