What's your favorite Beer?

[Seul]

Visiting that beer paradise I posted about next Tuesday with me mate… Going through the list of thousands as we speak, trying to write down some things I déf gonna buy... 

Will try and take lotsa pics in the store.

BOON 'Oude Kriek' Mariage Parfait. This is quite something else… Tastes drier than the normal Boon Kriek, more sour as well, and you can taste the oak...  At 8 % and 37.5 cl. this is as dangerous as giving Jestre an axe, extending  your leg and then insult his mother...

Wish I was close to the source like you Seul, we pay through the nose for such Belgium niche beers in the UK.

You're gonna hate my posts on Tuesday then, hectic…

- I think I'm in love with your fridge

[Seul]

Thinking about buying a bigger booze fridge… 

[hectic]

Actually I would like one of those glass fronted ones just for booze. And a wet bar, but classy y'know.

[Seul]

One that comes with a gorgeous lass that opens and closes it for ya as well, that'd be the ultimate combo pack…

But classy, y'know.....

[hectic]

haha!

Ok so I was way too busy having fun with my mate going through all the aisles to take pics in the shop, but this is my score:

My mate's score was about 3-4 times this… Multiple times I heard him say "I am done, no more looking, my wife's gonna KILL me!.. Oh shit: this'un's really good, I'll take 2 of 'm... That's it... I'm a dead man..."

You certainly were not joking when you said you were going beer shopping. Love these flicks!

[Seul]

I had a list and stuck to it… If I had gone wild, I would have had 4-5 filled crates, no kidding... Store is absolutely SICK...

[hectic]

good work, I wish I was there.

I was thinking more like we could borrow a pallet loader from Seul's work…

This'un was too sour for my likings… Geo would've loved it, I remember him loving the sour Lambic beers... I'm now trying the standard Old Kriek (Oude Kriek) from Boon. 6.5 %. Although it's more sour than the standard Kriek, this doesn't taste like Lambic/ Geuze... Probably will stick with the basic product though!.. Expire date is March 29 2031 btw... Yes: 2031!..

DUIVELS BIER - a dark, rich flavoured strong beer with a huge history… This was actually made before Duvel... Duvel was, until 1965, a dark beer... Based on this one, actually... They changed to the blond champagne-ish beer because it sold better...

The Boon brewery bought the name back in 2002, and started making the original Devilish beer again, DUIVELS BIER... So fuck Duvel - if you want something REAL get this...  ::)

I get goosebumps with every sip… This is just incredible beer... Followed the instructions and am drinking it at 14C° as well... In love... Gonna be needing a whole lot more of these stat... 1.25 €/ bottle.

That looks really good Eli.  Will have to look into local options.

I remember when I had my first Duvels in Amsterdam, in a small joint called Mellow Maloe or something similar, 1987 I think. Got one…got second one...started to thikn smebdy pot sumthin' in me drink....took alook at the bottle...aha...ordered third one...all in about 45 mins. Can't really remember how the evening ended, oh well....
