Thank you Skylersdad for the quick payment. He is a reliable buyer and a pleasure to deal with 

@Seul:

Man it has this heavy aroma of licorice… Overwhelming, in taste as well... Problem being: I don't like licorice...  :-\

Concerning Gouden Carolus X-mas:
I can second that. While I don't hate licorice per se, I think it shouldn't be in a beer. Luckily I only bought 4 bottles. Gotta gift that shit to someone

@Seul:

Damn son… Very, very wise investment... I'm still thinking of buying a couple myself... Have four 2013s in my mate's cellar but that's not enough!..

Seul, I'll try to take a pic of my collection soon. I think things got out of control since I stumbled upon this thread.

I can only repeat myself: If you are located in Germany, buy from this shop www.bierzwerg.de
Good selection, affordable prices and reasonable shipping. BTW, just ordered 12 bottles of Cuvée van de Keizer Blauw 2012 

@FurattoHeddo:

I think you meant Malle (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malle) … and I live 15min. drive from the WM Monastery btw... Need to try that cheese as well someday...

You are right, FurattoHeddo. I meant Malle! Was blown away by the fact that they come to Germany.

Just the regular 33 cl bottle. Good enough for me

I'm drinking Bush de Noël. Holy fuck it's amazing! I want to hug the whole world atm.
BTW Seul, I recently learned that Welle (Belgian Town, think of Westmalle Tripel) is the twin town of Heusenstamm, a small city in my close proximity. And guess what? They have a yearly St. Nikolaus fair, where they sell Westmalle and even cheese from the monastery. I'm so going there. Can't wait to see what they sell. Try to take pics. Life is good

Haha, I won't. I don't drop things. Especially no beer bottles! No matter how drunk I am. Also, I don't lose things. I have to say that the Rochefort 10 is kicking in pretty strong now (first effect I notice is when the music starts to sound better).
Alright, fuck off, I got work to do! (TPB reference)

I don't. But that's OK. A little Cardio won't hurt me

Enjoy bro! I can't wait to try the Christmas Ales. Have to pick up my last order from the post office. 21 kg, ugh. Will post pics when I can. Peace

Tried the Rochefort 10 today. Took it out of the fridge, let it warm up for 2 hours (Dean Seul style), poured it in the Westmalle glass. Tasted better than straight out of the fridge. Somehow there was no bitterness to it. Complex aromas (can't bother to type which ones, wouldn't matter anyway), warm finish without an overwhelming taste of alcohol. In summary: I like! Now that I have established a specific drinking routine for it, I' ll definitely stock up on some Rochefort 10. If you can, you should try it!

@Seul:

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...

Ah I understand. So Goudenbrand is an old brown. Will try a geuze eventually.
Also, will give your preparation regarding Rochefort 10 a try. Who knows, maybe my learning curve will show an exponential growth

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

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

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

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.

Thank you FurattoHeddo!
Item is in like new condition, price was too good to pass up :), fast delivery, I am happy!
Would buy again from him, highly recommended

If you are looking for beer glasses and are located in Germany, then check out this shop in Cologne:
www.markenglas.de

You can find Westmalle, Tripel Karmeliet, St. Bernardus, Liefmans etc.

Dean Seul,
I would be pleased to read your list and implement your recommendations into my next order. You won't find the Cuvee van de Keizer blauw though, as I bought all the remaining bottles

@ Jordan
Do you know this shop?  www.bierzwerg.de
Located in Germany. Shipping is reasonable (6.95 € for 14 x 750 ml bottles or 22x 330ml). Maybe cheaper than buying in Berlin. Check it out!

Aiiiight! Ordered all of them. Thanks Dean Seul!
