What's your favorite Beer?

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?..

@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.

[Seul]

Yes: it's shit as well. The only Lindemans I have high hopes for is this:

[Broark]

Well I'm glad I didn't buy it then!

[Seul]

Compared to other geuzes, it just bombs. I reckon lots of people disagree with me saying it sucks (eg. it has a 100% score on RB), but I don't care… Stick to the big names...

[neph93]

@Seul:

In short: it's shite.

Haha… Drank my bottle last night and came to the conclusion that they were trying to gild cowshit with all that elderberry. Poor effort.

[neph93]

This on the other hand….

…was mental. Not sure if it was any good as I was bladdered after the first sip. I vaguely recall thinking "De Molen with bitter herbs" before I passed out.
