@neph93:

How was the Vintage Ale?

Fair bit of sherry… But still good... How is the Oud Bruin?..

[neph93]

A bit meh to be honest. Authentic aged bruin taste which is nice. Boozy (it's 7%abv) and vinous. A bit too flat at the end to be well balanced. One of those where you suspect they had more fun making it than I am having drinking it.

This is saved for the winter!

YULE MAELK!.. It's the first beer I'll have when I'm settled at my new place in about two weeks - and it's the first beer I'll be drinking straight from the cellar 

[neph93]

That Special Holiday Ale is great, Aetas. Personal fave.

Here's some more Nøgne. This one's a doozy. A collab Impy Stout called M.O.L.E.  Practically no head, thick and sticky and damn tasty. Great stuff.

I always wonder about the "best before" date.

[organisys]

Yep. Fullers is good for a bigger brewery. Pride looked after well on tap is a nice session ale.

Haha… There  you go! I had to special order this and you pick it up in Deutschland

This one will age well, no doubt. Probably last beyond those four years on the bottle. I almost never manage to cellar things though. I have a very small collection of 3 bottles laid down. They're all drinkable now, so I have to remind myself all the time that they don't exist

Right now I have about 8 cases and some big bottles at my mate's cellar… But now I'll have my own cellar, so it will be much harder not to touch it...

When I come round…..

[Seul]

I just bought three heavy duty storage racks… 175 kgs/ shelf, 4 shelves/ rack... Should do, right G?.. (You can even sleep on one...)

[Giles]

That'll do for starters…...

[neph93]

Carrying on from last night in the same vein… This is a beauty. Comes in 330ml bottles and abv of 12.5, it must be the perfect dessert stout.

It's been matured for three years already and has the freshest, cleanest, strongest zing of whisky I've had from one of these whisky barrelled imp stouts. Amazing stuff (and I'm very happy to have two more bottles).

[neph93]

For the end of the evening, another winner.

[neph93]

This is from a small Norwegian brewery called Amundsen Bryggeri who decided to do a range of IPA's using only one type of hops. This one is very bitter and crisp, and has tastes of dried mangoes and toffee. An unusual but damn tasty IPA. I'll be keeping my eyes open for more from these guys.

It's early on Monday morning where I am, that picture makes me wish it was Friday afternoon again. Looks delicious.

Top 3 beers of Belgium. Don't ask what my other two'd be though…

Seul, what are your other two top beers of Belgium?

I know, I'm a dick.
