        good enough to let you forget some parts of an evening 😉

        seriously though, it tastes pretty good (nothing as good as the boyz from belgium deliver!) 😉

          Tastes like honey…...and sweet sweet beer  😃

          You had a geuze earlier today… You shouldn't have chosen the La Trappe... I don't eat spicy or otherwise tastebud-numbing foods before or during drinking beer, carefully plan when I brush my teeth, and sometimes even plan me wine accordingly...

                Yep, cheers David  🙂

                Seul, I'm drinking it with a selection of English cheeses and it is a perfect accompaniment.

                    Cheese is one thing that England does really well, not sure how well it would travel but I'm game to mail you some.

                      Every good beer has its cheese here… So I reckon I'm ok for cheese... But when you visit, I'm gonna have a couple different ones so we can see whether they're as good as British ones!.. I have a kickass cheese store in my town, five minute walk...  🙂

                              Paging Dean Seul,

                              Should I buy 9 bottles of Gouden Carolus Christmas without even knowing how it tastes? Is it worth the money? You know I'm a sucker for Cuvee van de Keizer. Is it similarly good? I always trust your recommendations and haven't been disappointed yet.

                                In short: yes. What's the BBE date?.. It's not as good as the Cuvée v/d Keizer, but it's tremendously good, especially on those cold, snowy days  🙂

                                        Hey Seul,

                                        yes I have tried the Rochefort 10. It took me 3 attempts to fully appreciate the taste. How do you drink it? Cold (let's say around 4-5°C), rather cold, rather warm, at room temperature?
                                        The Bush Noël is on my to buy list. Saw your pics from post #1894 in this thread, where you stated that you need to visit Geers again.
                                        Never tried the Abbaye des Rocs Speciale Noël, but will order it as well. Along with the St. Bernardus Christmas Ale and Malheur 10. However, I'm not quite fond of Geuzes. Tried a bottle of Liefmans Goudenbrand and didn't like the taste. I'm talking about the bottle wrapped in blue paper. As you mentioned before, Geuzes are an acquired taste.

                                        Holy fuck this winter will be awesome. This is my to buy list:
                                        Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Tripel
                                        BrewDog Punk IPA
                                        Crew Ale IPA India Pale Ale
                                        Ratsherrn Pale Ale
                                        Häffner Hopfenstopfer Seasonal Special Ale
                                        Propeller Aufwind Double IPA
                                        Dubuisson Bush de Noël
                                        Gouden Carolus Christmas
                                        Abbaye des Rocs Speciale Noël
                                        St. Bernardus Christmas Ale
                                        Malheur 10

                                        Cheers

                                          Goudenband is an old brown, not a geuze… But if you don't like the sour beers (yet), then don't try geuze...

                                          Rochefort - funny that you should mention this... Spent two hours warming up, at around 12-14 C° now...

                                            Ah I understand. So Goudenbrand is an old brown. Will try a geuze eventually.
                                            Also, will give your preparation regarding Rochefort 10 a try. Who knows, maybe my learning curve will show an exponential growth 🙂
