@Seul:

Woah - that's not bad!.. And their prices are pretty good, considering they have rare stuff…

My thoughts exactly!

[Seul]

It's officially December…

Next beer delivery due tomorrow, already picking my first Etre Gourmet order…....might have to wait until after payday now though  :-\

[Seul]

I'm probs buying another 12 bottles of Stille Nacht 2012 from EG… Just tried the 2013... It's good, REALLY good, but the 2012 is better... So cellaring all the 2013 I can get me mits on...

[Megatron1505]

I'm looking at picking up some 2013 to cellar.

Btw, after drinking the Delirium Tremens I can honestly say that dark beers are definitely my thing, the Tremens made me feel a bit sick by the end of the glass.

[Seul]

Was that after 14 other beers or?..

[Seul]

Raged through two supermarkets only NOT to find the fucking Delirium Christmas. Took a brochure home from one of the stores, noticed this (promotions starting today):

So yeah: soon… 

[Megatron1505]

Damnit, I need to pick up one of those glasses.

Another beer delivery arrived today containing more Peche Mel for her indoors and my Delirium Christmas top up/ restock…..oh and 6 bottles of St Bernadus Christmas beer 

[Seul]

Ridiculously good.

[Megatron1505]

Lovely beer Eli, my evening choice is not so grand just a regular Gouden Carolus classic.

[Seul]

You like the Classic though, right?..

[Megatron1505]

I do, I find it dependably and consistently good.

[Seul]

I used to as well, but all those rich Struise brews have fucking spoiled me…

Last sips of Albert... Mmmmmmmmmmm

[Finn666]

eli, tomorrow is going to be the day…where i finally will open that god damn package

[Grumpy Mike]

I wouldn't consider BL my favorite, but I find myself drinking it more than anything else. So, I guess in a round about way, it's my favorite? Cheers…

[Seul]

Quickly becoming top 5 material… Love this so fucking much...

I had a bottle of the St Bernardus Christmas Ale last night just before I went to bed, it comes in at 10% so it is no lightweight brew and it took me a good 40 minutes to go through a bottle. It's dark, smooth and has a very subtle spiced flavour which definitely tells you that it's a Christmas beer, whilst also doing a great job of masking the taste of any alcohol. This was the Christmas beer that I was most looking forward to trying as I enjoyed the St Bernardus Abt 12 so much, and as a drinking experience it did not disappoint.

That was the good side, now here is the bad…

I had one bottle, just the one and I wake up with a hangover !!! This has not happened with ANY of the other strong Belgian beauties I have been enjoying but this one is a quiet and charming assassin who delivers a seasonal headache!! I'm at the same time pleased and terrified that I have another 7 bottles of this to get through over the festive period.

In summary, brilliant beer but it has an aftermath like Scorpions finishing move from Mortal Combat.

[Finn666]

priceless

[Seul]

Yeah this happens somtimes, Gav… Sometimes I wake up hungover knowing I didn't have much. It depends on so many things, though... A trained drinker should know this...

Do you know how weak English beer is
