New, old beer list at Memphis Taproom

That Fishtown den of yeasty, bubbly iniquity known as The Memphis Taproom (2331 E. Cumberland St.) has just released a fresh bottled beer list that trumpets vintage, rare and large format bottles ideal for holiday merrymaking.
Favorites like bone-dry Taras Boulba (Brasserie de la Senne, Belgium) and tarted-up Petrus Oak Aged Pale Ale (Belgium) are joined by a list of cellared bottles to make the geeks weep.� Gale's Prize Old Ale (Hampshire, UK) is the grandaddy in a $10, '96 vintage, but we're most excited about trying an '06 BBBourgondier, a hefty, chewy dark ale touched with spice from the inimitable De Regenboog in Belgium for $14 (read our review of the hard-to-find heavy, here).
If your aim is to impress the boys, why not order up a big bottle of Gulden Draak, the 10.5 percent ABV behemoth that should get even your Grinchiest office mate dancing on tables -- it's 1.5 liters and the opaque, white-painted bottle would make a spiffy lamp once you've drained it. Or you can go for the gold with a 6 liter bottle of St. Bernardus Christmas, one of the few Belgian dark, spiced holiday brews that does not recall a fruitcake, for $300.
