      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.

          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…

                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.

                      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...

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

                          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.

                              That's a another one the Belgian Beer God (aka Seul) sorted out for me.

                                "Beer swillin eejit" will suffice, though…  🙂

                                Just had a Stille Nacht 2014 - yes it's like fortified cider with candi sugar added... But dear GODS is it good...

                                    On another note, Single Cut out of Astoria NY is putting out some really great stuff. This IIPA is almost perfect.  Way easier to get than TH too.

                                      A few recent ones-


                                      I like most of the beers I've tried from Hitachino, but this is one of my favorites.


                                      This was a disappointment.  The complete lack of carbonation killed it for me.


                                      Same problem.  Flat as tap water.  Decent flavor, but I just couldn't get past the, I don't know what it's called- "mouth feel"?


                                      This, on the other hand, was a pleasant surprise.  I bought a six pack of it back in 2011 and didn't really like it.  As a result, it got pushed to the back of my beer fridge.  Lately I've been cleaning out old stuff, and I decided to give it a try before I poured it down the sink.  I don't know if my tastes have changed, or five years of aging have improved it, but it's really good.  I'll have try the fresh version and see what I think.
