Some combinations don't work well

The beer of the week so far is St. Peter's English Ale. I have had this nice ale before, but it's sometimes not the easiest thing to find in Durham Region. However, I used the LCBO Website to track it down at the Ajax location up on Highway 2. That location has a Vintages area, and it also stocks a few things the Bayly LCBO doesn't, so I should probably take the extra few minutes to drive up there whenever I go to the liquor store.

Unfortunately, this week I also tasted what I think is the worst beer I've ever had. Trafalgar's Maple Bock is absolutely terrible. The smell, the taste and the aftertaste were brutal. I've had a maple beer before (Red Maple -- not sure who brews it), and it was pretty good, even if the extra sugar did give me a brutal hangover the next morning. Trafalgar's attempt to mix maple syrup with beer is a complete and utter failure. Yuck.
