What's your favorite Beer?

My project for the cold winter days:

Hope I did a good job.

All your Belgians pass muster, I haven't tried that particular variety of St Peters but they do make some nice brews so I am sure it will be nice.

[Max Power]

The St. Peters is what I will try first…now. Will report back tomorrow.

Out of the whole bunch I'd prefer trying the Rook & Vuur…

Personal experience over reviews every day. Most folks seem to like that Duchesse beer which I think tastes like it's been filtered through a donkeys sweat gland

the dead guy is in regular rotation for me, a very nice beer.

@Seul:

Why didn't you buy the GOUDEN CAROLUS CUVEE VAN DE KEIZER????

now that i'm mobile again, i'll def. go there more often again. and i still need to bring back all the empty bottles

…starting with the Grand Cru in a few!

Delicious, delicious donkey sweat.

But you're right- reviews are only useful if you have similar tastes as the writer.  Someone who loves pilsners isn't going to get anything useful from a reviewer who exclusively drinks porters and stouts.

Well you don't go by one review of course… But if a beer gets an avg score of say 98% after several hundred reviews, then I'm inclined to believe it's rather good... IF it falls into the categories of beer one prefers, of course... A 5% porter could get a perfect score but I wouldn't wanna try it...

It was quite interesting. The first beer I had so far that really reminded me of isla whiskys. Very strong peat smoke, but not much behind that. Was more like a light whisky dram than beer. But definitely different than the francoinan smoked beers. For a whisky fan nice, not necessarily for a beer lover.

This brewery defo makes some stuff you'd like: http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/de-dochter-van-de-korenaar/8907/

Was able to buy a case of Westvleteren XII. Not cheap @100 € but 4 €/ bottle is about half what you pay for online…

And I'm way stoked to finally get to cellar some of these bastards... 

Eli.

Aaaannnd seller just told me the exp date is 2016 - meaning they're two years old… And kept in a cellar...

Fuck me I could sell these for 15 € a pop... Not that I will/ would, of course... 

Edit: I'm an eejit... They use a different dating technique... 2016 = fresh batch  Ah well I'll cellar 'm meself!..

[Megatron1505]

Holy fucking shit  :o

[Seul]

I'm a pretty happy man  Gonna try and cellar at least 6 though… Probably 8 even...

[Megatron1505]

Have you tried it before? What are your thoughts on it?

[Seul]

I've tried it twice or thrice before… Excellent balance... Between Abt 12 and R10... But not 100 % my thing... I hope cellaring it will improve it...

Yes: I'm picky...

[Megatron1505]

Well you just gave it a comparison to two of my favourite brews, so that gives it a thumbs up from me.

[Seul]

I know… That's why I'm sending you one... So at least someone can enjoy my beer…
