    Seul, bought this today. Know anything about it? The most expensive Gueuze in the local monopoly. Apparently very little carbonisation, and the tasting notes mention hints of horse blanket and barnyard. I'm slightly nervous.

      It's a B-tier geuze I'm afraid…

        @Seul:

        It's easily the priciest at 70kr for 330ml when Boon and Berseei are 60. Tilquin is even cheaper. I get that price is no guarantee of quality but there must be a reason for the cost.

        Never mind, I've got dates with some other hot Belgians lined up for the weekend. In fact it's a Belgian reverse gangbang, with a couple of blondes, some sweet redheads and some more mature brunettes…

        (Note to self: Stop browsing internet porn while buying beer).

          The other beers are great so just drink the Chapeau first and you'll be fine…  🙂

            That's the plan. I've had the Beersel, Orval and Duchesse before. The others are new to me.

                    Just copped some Ommegang Three Philosophers and Founders reDANKulous. Been waiting all summer for the latter. Cannot speak to how excited I am to crack these

                      The Vichtenaar is very similar to Duchesse De Bourgogne. It's got that contrast of brown sugar sweetness and malt vinegar sourness. Quite well balanced but less boozy than the DdB. I'll probably stick with DdB in the future. Just a touch more full bodied.

                        Tasty, light Saison. Clean and refreshing at the start with a bit of dirty yeast at the end. Enjoying it in the sun. Have a good weekend, people.

                            Complex barrel aged IPA this. Very dry. Interesting!..

                                Belgian. But the town is on the border…

                                Really intruiging beer... Love the oak characters... Wine barreled beers are almost always a hit with me... Because they're also partially accomodating the wino in me...

                                    What's the ABV on that if it's an impy? 9-10%? Looks boss. I'll have to try and score some.

                                    These guys are on my must try list… How does the cost escalate if they're considered "vintage"?

                                      Well I'll let you know…  😃 My first vintage... Only seen 'm online...

                                      Probably going on a whole beer-related trip btw... 3 Fonteinen to Lille (https://www.saveur-biere.com/fr/) to pick up some big arse orders, then to Deconinck to pick up some Prairie and Evil Twin beers they have coming in next week...

                                      At least a 500 € trip right there... Luckily my mate doesn't have to pay for gas  ::)

                                        It is 9.5% @neph93 If you can score some, DO! Certainly in my top 3 favorite IPAs and the competition are technically doubles and triples

                                          Well the Three Philosophers is definitely drinkable, but sorely lacking depth. Nothing about it really sells it as a quadruple. The 9.7% sneaks up a bit on you as a result. Not a bad brew, just a bit meh for me.
