      ^Sounds good  🙂

      Ok so I'm going to Geers tomorrow… These were limited to two/ person, so figured I'd try to decide whether I needed more... In short: no. It's good, it's reàlly good in fact, but it lacks funk... It's too clean... Has enough wood, not enough horsemanure...

        ^ Ha. Got called a snob today when talking to the assistant at the monopoly. I told him the blossom gueuze was a load of berries hiding a a shite gueuze without character. He said "everybody" rates it, and I said a decent gueuze needs crazy yeast and at least a whiff of the barn, and that the blossom stuff was a sanitized circle jerk aimed at people who didn't know better. I was a bit of a dick really. But I was right.

          You were right, and the Special Blend should've been named Special Bland. Snoozefest.

          I'll gladly buy Boon Black Label which costs 2€/ bottle less… Or Girardin Black Label, which is 3€ less for a big bottle... Creating a nice looking product is what they do best @Lindemans…

            Nail on the head there, lar'.

            Meanwhile, not reading labels is obviously an issue for me at the mo' as I missed this weak ass abv when buying this a couple of weeks ago:

            Turns out it's tasty, well balanced and complex despite the lack of booze. Surprising win.

              Wow, a stout under 5%?  That's interesting.

                Drinking another bottle of White Oak tonight and gotta say it's one of my favorite beers without a doubt.
                Also picked up two bottles of Birthday Bomb, excited to try it out!

                    I was fully prepared for it to be awful but it was very well made and full of flavour, despite lacking in the body that a shit load of alchohol provides.

                        I need a Birthday Bomb!  Guess for now I'll settle for one of the best coffee porters I can remember.

                        Night Shift Awake. I can get this any time which is great

                        Also the wife picked me up a new beer fridge, what a great wife I have!

                          Nice!..

                          Ok - Geers!.. Whilst my mate was smoking outside, and my other mate had yet to arrive, I popped in with a headstart…

                          => 3 last 37.5cls bottles of 3 Fonteinen Golden Blend, yep I'll have those...
                          => 3 last bottles of BFM Saint Bon Chien Grand Cru 2013 Rum Casks, yeah I'll have those as well...
                          => bottle of Tilquin Mûre to see what the fuss is all about...
                          => bottle of Cantillon '14 to see whether it's better than the appalling 2013s I had...
                          => some smoked beers (Schlenkerla), some Polish porter (Kormoran Porter Warminski, cheap as fuck at 2.3€/ 0.5l!)
                          => Fantôme Hivêr, brilliant black saison, To Ol Black Malts BIIPA, a locally made stellar saison (d'Erpe Mere) and the Weizenbomb that is Schneider Meine-Hopfenweisse

                          Ready for spring and summer...

                              Great haul! Just one of the benefits of living in Belgium I suppose. 😘
                              And @Traser2g if you want a Birthday Bomb I could probably get you one? Seems like more shops down here are just getting them. Plus I'm planning on going to Jester King this weekend so could get some of that if you wanted to organize some type of trade!

                                    Seul, this is good stuff. I don't know how best to describe it other than straight up classy. Tremendous balance and complexity, full bodied without being boozy at all. Get some.

                                    Oh yeah… More label nerding:
