        My first ever bottle of what many believe to be the finest beer ever made, the Westvleteren 12. This was worth documenting with pictures.

        It's good, in fact it's very good. I would say slightly better than the R10 or the Berny 12 or even Pannepot (which is a huge favourite of mine and the Belgian bitch). I'm a huge fan of dark beers with big and complex tastes so this is right up my alley, I have to say though that Stille Nacht and the Berny Xmas Ale are still higher on my list than the Westy, they just have something a little special about them…...or maybe I'm just a sucker for the festive season.

          I'll tell you (and y'all) why I love the Pannepot better… Cause you get a fresh bottle, you don't have to cellar it, and it's downright freakin amazing from the get go... The R10, Abt12, and XII?.. Nope: the fresh ones need a couple of years to reach their peak... They're GREAT beers, but they're released way too quickly because they have to...

          And maybe, just maybe, these beers get such high scores because they're either easily available or are very hyped due to not being available (WXII)… From what I've experienced, some locally brewn beers that are harder to come by, are much better but don't get the high ratings on sites such as RateBeer cause they're extremely limited or unknown // not hyped...

          In short: I refuse to make sense on this warm Sunday evening, and I will go on and drink beers I deem to be much better than Belgium's "finest product", the XII...

            I'm going to follow the Westy up with a Pannepot (mistake?) to see how it fares whilst fresh on the tastebuds, will report back afterwards.

                          And what d'ya know: bad bottle!.. No carbonation, colour and taste are off!.. Having an Oud Beersel geuze  instead (since I only had one bottle of Cantillon)…

                                That beer definitely requires some cheese.

                                    I wonder if they use a similar process to ice brewed beer (a Japanese innovation, BTW) to raise the alcohol content. Let us know how that is.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      Sure will, but it will be a few days. I know I can't slay that entire bottle without some backup.

                                          Oh shit, you can do a LOT better than that…..I bet I could send you a few from our brewery that would put those to shame.....

                                            I would love that. 🙂
                                            Systembolaget here in sweden has alot of good beers but the ale department is lacking. Even though it is getting better.
                                            Everytime I go to stratford (My wife studied shakespeare there and has a lot of friends there still) I always enjoy trying beers I can not easily get hold of here in Sweden. 🙂
