Tonight I tasted a bottle of Old Rasputin against my clone home brew, Arctic Circle. The Rasputin has the same bitterness as Arctic does, something I didn't remember when I did the original taste test. I notice more malt aroma in the Rasputin, but the Arctic seems to be smoother and less bitter actually.
The brewmaster's assistant did a blind tasting and decided that the Arctic Circle was better.
This may be the best beer I've brewed yet.

Belgian Quad
Just moved the Belgian Quad from the secondary to the keg and now it's carbonating.
Need to think of a name for this one.
It's tastes great, very Belgian. Brewer's assistant says it tastes like an expensive bottle of commercial Belgian, so I guess we did all right. I need to get a bottle of Three Philosophers to taste against since this is a clone recipe.
Brewery Ommegang recommends Three Philosophers with roasted meats and rich cheeses. I'm thinking lamb.
Waiting for carbonation...
