Any stand out recommendations for tomorrow night? I have only had the Kwak on draught so far, and not looked too deeply into the bottle list

@Alex , I'd also try the Boon Marriage Parfait. It's not my favorite gueuze out there, but it's really solid, and that's a great price for a legitimately good bottle of gueuze.
As for me, I had this 2012 De Cam Oude Lambiek a couple days ago. It wasn't quite as good as the 03 yet, but it was super, super nice.
I literally bought 5 bottles this Feb 2012 bottling just recently. Nobody cares about De Cam for some inexplicable reason, and this bottle has a particularly average for great lambic on Untappd because many users apparently buy this without know it's actually supposed to be still, think it's gone bad, and give it a horrible rating (how you end up with nearly 6 year old lambic without having a clue what the bottle is about is beyond me).
As for the notes, it had an incredible funk that developed even more over the 2 hours that I sipped on half of the bottle (so tasty that it was hard to make it last that long). It had a strong apricot/peach vibe, with a hint of that diacetyl flavor I mentioned on a recent 2010 Fou Foune (buttered popcorn), a bit of citrus, and then a whole green grape/white pepper vibe that was super interesting. So complex and delicate, and just so enjoyable. De Cam can be a bit hit or miss, but I've only ever had one bad bottle from them, and it was probably just bad because of bad storage.
