      It took a bit of prodding, but the gentleman at the local store finally convinced me to give this a shot.

      All I can really say is….ehh, is that it? Mind you, it's not bad. However at $18 a sixer, I expect a bit more. Bells leaves me feeling this way more often than not, just flat and uninspired. Any DIPA from Dark Horse, Founder's, Great Lakes, and even Oddside would have been just as well suited and balanced. Sadly, while good, my estimation of it's worth and the brewers are completely divorced. I guess they just don't brew up to my expectations

        Knowing it was going to be a long day at the beach, I set myself up for a marathon beer drinking session.

        This is far better than it likely has any right to be. Plus at 4.7% you really can drink them ALL DAY

          Not that familiar with beer from the states but this series just landed at the monopoly. I've invested in them all but this is the first one I've opened. Ideal for sharing with friends…. drank it all on my own [emoji1]

              Want one, Seul?  My local store has a few bottles.  I'll send it whenever your box of odds & ends fills up…

                Very kind of you, Chris, but if it's made it way to Norway, then it'll make it to Belgium… Now that Moortgat owns Boulevard, it might happen sooner than later... Picking up some Tank 7 next week, for example...

                Right now... Very 'merican, very good... The smell is the best part of this beer...

                  Tank 7 is pretty good; I have a couple of bottles of it in my fridge right now.  The plan is to age them a while and see what happens.

                    I picked up the Tank 7 too. After last nights Harvest Dance it'll get to age about 3 more hours….

                        What size are the bottles there?  I've only seen 750ml here.  If they're smaller, I'd recommend a four pack.  I think I only bought two or three.

                          All the Smokestack Series are in 750ml, corked bottles here in sunny Norway. I've got the Quadruple and the Imperial Stout down for ageing.

                          That Harvest Dance was boss @Seul . There was more than a whiff of Nøgne about it in the taste, somewhere between #100 and the Tiger Trippel. I'll be cleaning out the local next time I'm in there. Also, that 8% Saison you posted a couple of days ago looks fit. Strong Saisons give me the horn…

                            Haha - first question I asked to Geers when they posted it today… They're 35cls bottles!.. So that's awesome... Well: it's more convenient... Four pack it is...

                                But nothing beats Orval… Yes: it's not regularly described as a saison, and technically probably isn't one, but in my mind it is the best farmhouse ale out there...

                                  Word. I tend to always have a bottle on standby. Just damn tasty.

                                    I've been watching Geers' timeline like a shithawk since they posted about Dieu du Ciel yesterday and yes sir: 4 hours ago they posted they now have PECHE MORTEL…

                                    Going tomorrow morning...  😘

                                      Don't blame you. Just had a look at their website. This looks special:
                                      ISSEKI NICHO (ISSEKI NICHO)
                                      Imperial Dark Saison - 9.5% alc./vol.
                                      341 ml (11.5 fl.oz.)

                                      This very unique beer was born in 2009 from a special collaboration between Dieu du ciel! and Shiga Kougen, a brewery from Nagano, Japan. Black in color, it is an hybrid between an Imperial Stout and a Belgian Saison. It presents predominant bitterness and roasted malt flavours, balanced by strong alcohol content. The finale is dry, complex and spicy, a typical signature given by Saison yeasts.
