What's your favorite Beer?

[Broark]

Noted, I'll pick a bottle of either Lolita or Madame Rose next time I see them. I saw that my local Central Market had them last time I was in, will probably swing by later this week.

Decided to open this, and you were right Chris. A little underwhelming, but I see where they were going with this beer. Lots of cinnamon and vanilla. I think the Señorita from Elevation was better.
Also got another bottle of Poterie, will open that one later this week.

I had Halia last summer and am still looking hard at obtaining a couple of those… They were 18€/ bottle here, but it was brilliant...

[Broark]

I also saw Halia in the store, guessing it gets your vote of approval?
Also woke up to some good news, several Wicked Weed beers got approval for sale in Texas today!

[Seul]

I only had it once but it left a thoroughly good impression…

[Chris]

I liked it, too.  If I find a couple of bottles, I'll send you one.

Maybe.

Interesting development on the Fantôme Del Ray from Jester King, they're halting sales due to ropiness.
Never heard of that myself, I really enjoyed the beer when I had it at the brewery.

Haha "ropiness" - if Fantôme cared about that, he'd have to stop making beer altogether…

[Broark]

Would love to get my hands on some real Fantôme someday!
Drinking a 2014 Narwhal tonight, a bit underwhelming I have to say.

[Seul]

I can easily get Fantôme. If you wanna trade…

[Broark]

Might be up for a trade, never really done one internationally though!
In for a boozy night, pretty nice so far. Glad I got another bottle too.

Seul, I'm a Pannepot virgin. What can I expect? Should I buy more and cellar it?

[Seul]

2014: good batch. You can cellar it, you can drink it right away… It's a good quad, although I heavily prefer the Reserva but I don't wanna piss on your parade 

ENJOY IT!..

Broark: finished the bottle all by yourself?.. You still alive?..

[Broark]

@Seul:

Broark: finished the bottle all by yourself?.. You still alive?..

Surprisingly yes, and I don't feel terrible this morning.
One glass of water for every pour on a big beer like that is my trick!

[Seul]

So two glasses of agua hu 

[Broark]

Pretty much.
I think the Poterie will age well, I'd be interested in trying the scotch variant as well.

Spent about a week's pay at Tree House today. Worth it? Damn right.

[Broark]

Damn, nice!
I picked up a couple more BFM beers tonight, one being the Bon-Chien from 2013 since I liked the 2014 so much. And the other being a beer I can't seem to find any information on. It's their grand cru aged in oak barrels. I see other several other variants listed online but not the oak barrel version. Here's the label:


I like the "very limited edition" part.
Also drinking this right now, gotta say pretty underwhelming…

[Seul]

That's the 2014:

In short: it's shite.

[Broark]

Thanks for finding that for me Seul, BeerAdvocate didn't seem to have anything listed about it.
Have you had the gueuze cuvée rené from Lindemans? I saw it at the store the other day and thought about picking it up.
