      Picked this up yesterday on a quick stop before my larger shopping trip on Friday. It was solid.

      Otherwise the beer dept was thinned out after xmas. Restock incoming, but I snapped a few sours, stouts and other bottles that I’m interested in buying in the future. Tips will be welcomed on the Belgian bottles. Also anyone tried this Botanicals and Barrels series from Avery?:

      And the darker stuff:

        Tilquin Mûre - probably reassuringly expensive, but worth a try…
        Pöhjala Jöuluöö - it's on my list to order...
        Cuvée de Mortagne - I'd skip it...
        Tre Fontane - skip...
        Avery Vanilla Bean Stout - probably worth a try, haven't had it meself though...
        Oud Beersel Bersalis Sourblend - skip...
        Verzet Oud Bruin - if it's cheap...
        Pühaste Dekadents - I haven't had it, but if I come across it, it's definitely going in the basket...

        The other beers don't interest me...

        PS: if they had the regular Must Kuld, stock up on those... Much better...

          Oh and just because it has apricot and Westmalle yeast: I'd give that Avery Apricot Sour a go…

            I think any Avery beer is worth a try, just as a general principle.  The apricot sour is quite good.  I'm not a big ginger or vanilla fan, so I haven't tried those two.

              @Seul @Chris thanks gents… I´m increasingly of the opinion that Avery are a "good" brewery. I'm having the vanilla stout for sure... I'm a fan of ginger but not apricot but I may try them both.

              The Múre was about $20 a 750ml bottle, not awful. The most expensive of those I posted was the De Mortagne at nearly $30 for 500ml. So I'm quite happy to skip it...  ???

                Made a mistake: that's the Põhjala Talveöö, not the Jöuluöö… But same exact intel for that: on the list, eager to try it...

                    I wouldn't call it my favorite. But for a light beer this isn't bad and has a high alcohol content for a light beer. It's not watered down shit water.

                      @neph93  the Avery vanilla bean stout is def worth a go. Avery makes some
                      Of the highest ABV beers out there.

                      Maybe so. Maybe not

                        I had a couple of theirs in the summer, a porter and a stout at around 18%ABV. They were as powerful and aggressive as you'd expect but tasted great. I'll pick up the vanilla stout tomorrow…

                        @Seul I had the Põhjala Talveöö last night. It was very heavy on the coconut. A touch too heavy for my liking. It was like making out with a girl who had just drunk five pina coladas and was wearing too much (coconut and vanilla scented) perfume at the same time. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts.

                          I'm also getting this, neph… Basically the only way you can make me feel bad about coconut is if you throw one in my face as hard as you can...

                                At one time coors light cans were my absolute favorite beer. I was 21 and would open a 30 pack at noon and finish it by midnight. Not a brag. Just facts  And don’t any of you shit in my first love. 1998

                                Maybe so. Maybe not

                                        This is nice.  Not spectacular, but definitely enjoyable.

                                          A review on RateBeer:

                                          Some candy/caramel and dark fruit along with brandy notes.

                                          Best read that label some more, sunshine…

                                            On a winning streak beer-wise at the moment. Barley wine with a hint of liquorice and a hoppy bitter finish.
