Last weekend.
Auris 19; "Goldenes Feuer" (Golden Fire :))
That beer definitely requires some cheese.

Just bought this, notice that it's a 10% cider!

[mclaincausey]

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.

[Anesthetist]

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

Old speckled hen
Abbot ale

are probably my two favorites atm.

I am really an ale man!

[Giles]

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.....

[nizzel55]

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.

Next time you order something, remind me….

[nizzel55]

will do!

But based on a German invention, discovered per accident I think

Aventinus Eisbock is a class by its own. Legend has it that Aventinus barrels froze during transport in cold winter days. Brewers tasted the liquid that had remained unfrozen and were most deligthed. As the water freezes before the alcohol, what remains is a concentrated Aventinus – concentrated in aroma and in alcohol. We can offer this delight at any time of the year.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah, not sure where I read that.

Just had one of them Weizen-Eisbocks by the way… Truly an astonishing beer... Love the hint of marzipan in the nose...

Picked up some take out Chinese food last night, this was the better part of the meal…

Had to pick up more of this for the Belgian, yeah that's why

[Seul]

The Belgian ain't complaining…

[jdl1279]

I knew you wouldn't. If possible I think I like your box better so far than the one I sent Dan, and I really like everything in that one. 3 set, got 2 more to secure.

Just read some reviews on that beer.. It sounds as if it were made for me… Complex w/ vanilla notes: count me in... 

[jdl1279]

It's probably my favorite of what's available from them right now.

[Seul]

That's saying a lot!.. It's also nice to deal with someone who knows his beers… You seem to really know what I like
