What's your favorite Beer?

[Finn666]

some I had during the week…

now got a rochefort #8 warming up, so I can enjoy it with my meal!

stock is pretty thin at this point

[Megatron1505]

Is Cardinal Swiss Rafa? How is it?

[Finn666]

good enough to let you forget some parts of an evening

seriously though, it tastes pretty good (nothing as good as the boyz from belgium deliver!)

@Megatron1505:

Tastes like honey…...and sweet sweet beer 

You had a geuze earlier today… You shouldn't have chosen the La Trappe... I don't eat spicy or otherwise tastebud-numbing foods before or during drinking beer, carefully plan when I brush my teeth, and sometimes even plan me wine accordingly...

[davito]

It is Swiss but belongs nowadays indirectly to the carlsberg group via share majority through feldschlösschen

[Finn666]

^thanks d.

[Megatron1505]

Yep, cheers David 

Seul, I'm drinking it with a selection of English cheeses and it is a perfect accompaniment.

[Seul]

Yes - cheese is a beer's best friend!.. I really should start buying more cheese again… Damn you mega!..

[Megatron1505]

Cheese is one thing that England does really well, not sure how well it would travel but I'm game to mail you some.

[Seul]

Every good beer has its cheese here… So I reckon I'm ok for cheese... But when you visit, I'm gonna have a couple different ones so we can see whether they're as good as British ones!.. I have a kickass cheese store in my town, five minute walk...

Looking like March, it was going to be VERY soon until Mini fucked up her ankle

^hope it isn't broken?

cheers to the trons:

Paging Dean Seul,

Should I buy 9 bottles of Gouden Carolus Christmas without even knowing how it tastes? Is it worth the money? You know I'm a sucker for Cuvee van de Keizer. Is it similarly good? I always trust your recommendations and haven't been disappointed yet.

[Seul]

In short: yes. What's the BBE date?.. It's not as good as the Cuvée v/d Keizer, but it's tremendously good, especially on those cold, snowy days 

[seren]

Don't know. I order online. But I can call tomorrow and ask.

I guess for this price I can't go wrong, right?

[Seul]

No you can't, those are Belgian prices!.. 

[Seul]

Have you tried these before?..

http://www.bierzwerg.de/product_info.php?info=p3027_belgien–abbaye-des-rocs-speciale-no-l--0-75-liter-mehrwegflasche.html => I haven't tried this myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is GREAT!..

Hey Seul,

yes I have tried the Rochefort 10. It took me 3 attempts to fully appreciate the taste. How do you drink it? Cold (let's say around 4-5°C), rather cold, rather warm, at room temperature?
The Bush Noël is on my to buy list. Saw your pics from post #1894 in this thread, where you stated that you need to visit Geers again.
Never tried the Abbaye des Rocs Speciale Noël, but will order it as well. Along with the St. Bernardus Christmas Ale and Malheur 10. However, I'm not quite fond of Geuzes. Tried a bottle of Liefmans Goudenbrand and didn't like the taste. I'm talking about the bottle wrapped in blue paper. As you mentioned before, Geuzes are an acquired taste.

Holy fuck this winter will be awesome. This is my to buy list:
Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Tripel
BrewDog Punk IPA
Crew Ale IPA India Pale Ale
Ratsherrn Pale Ale
Häffner Hopfenstopfer Seasonal Special Ale
Propeller Aufwind Double IPA
Dubuisson Bush de Noël
Gouden Carolus Christmas
Abbaye des Rocs Speciale Noël
St. Bernardus Christmas Ale
Malheur 10

Cheers

Goudenband is an old brown, not a geuze… But if you don't like the sour beers (yet), then don't try geuze...

Rochefort - funny that you should mention this... Spent two hours warming up, at around 12-14 C° now...
