What's your favorite Beer?

[JamesMarg]

Got a hold of a massive stash of beer today.
Including some 'Stone'
In Australia, or anywhere but certain parts of America, its almost unheard of to get Stone beer, they really like to keep in in the US.
Looking forward to trying it!

Chris: yeah you gotta let that Bush de Noël warm up to get the full "Marzipan Experience"… Otherwise it's a bit boozy...

7.30 am and I'm thinking about what beer I'm gonna have tonight...

[JamesMarg]

Rochefort 10 tonight.
Fantastic stuff

[JamesMarg]

Also having a 'Geuze Boon' … Hmmmm, not sure about this one.

[Seul]

If you're drinking geuze, at least don't mix with other beer… And defo not sweet beer like R10...

[JamesMarg]

Good point.
I had them about 30-60 minutes apart though.

Contestants for tonight… St Bernardus Abt 12... Been a long while since I had one... Black Albert Batch 0... 13 %... Mmmm... Or the Cuvée du Château... At 11%...

[Megatron1505]

I've had the first 2 and thought they were both excellent, slightly preferring the Saint Bernardus, not tried the other one.

[Seul]

Not bad… 

[Megatron1505]

Not rare or special, but I really like it.

[Seul]

Fuck rare and special - enjoy Gav!..

[irishexpat]

A good bar….their Belgian draught list is second to none.

Bernardus 12 almost done....considering a la trappe quad.....

You will not regret the Quad!
Fantastic beer.

Try Westmalle Tripel, and Rochefort 10 as well

[Chris]

The draft sours, Petrus and Duchesse de Bourgogne, are both good examples of the style.  If you're not familiar with sours, start with the Duchesse.

[JamesMarg]

Orval Trappist tonight…
I think this beer needs a lot of time and patience.
It reminds me a little of a Geuze.

Also has one of the best heads, in terms of retention, i have ever seen.

[JamesMarg]

Now that it's warming up it's very reminiscent of an IPA…

[Megatron1505]

Weirdly, the only Belgian brew I have strongly disliked so far is the Duchesse, tasted like dirty dish water to me just plain bad.

[Seul]

Did you like the Goudenband, Gav?..

I'm having a blue Chimay… It's creamy and I love the head on Chimays... Yeah: I think this one has me convinced... 

Need some older Reserve bottles stat!..

[Megatron1505]

I did like Goudenband, it was my fourth favourite.

Rochefort 10
Boon Geuze Mariage Parfait
Oerbier
Goudenband
Rodenbach

My top 5 so far, I also really like the Cantillon Geuze.

[Seul]

Good man… I'm thinking of doing a top 10 or 25 for 2013 but boy will that be hard...
