What's your favorite Beer?

[Seul]

Just had one of them Weizen-Eisbocks by the way… Truly an astonishing beer... Love the hint of marzipan in the nose...

Picked up some take out Chinese food last night, this was the better part of the meal…

Had to pick up more of this for the Belgian, yeah that's why

[Seul]

The Belgian ain't complaining…

[jdl1279]

I knew you wouldn't. If possible I think I like your box better so far than the one I sent Dan, and I really like everything in that one. 3 set, got 2 more to secure.

Just read some reviews on that beer.. It sounds as if it were made for me… Complex w/ vanilla notes: count me in... 

[jdl1279]

It's probably my favorite of what's available from them right now.

[Seul]

That's saying a lot!.. It's also nice to deal with someone who knows his beers… You seem to really know what I like 

[jdl1279]

It's funny I live in the midst of some great brewers, even if I have to take a bit of a drive to pick some up. When Founders, Bells, Arcadia, and Dark Horse are all local it's hard not to develop good tastes.

That's the crazy thing about Belgium: driving across it only takes 2-3 hours… But we have such diversity in beers it's unbelievable... I really like my country

Switching gears

You´ve got not only a diversity in beers! ….Love Belgium as well.

I was in Brussels last year with a couple of friends. Nice city. Had a lot of fun. But I am sadly not a fan of beer from Belgium. I have tried quite a few. Several that was OK and a lot I would never order again. I will continue searching for a beer from Belgium that I think is more then just OK.  Perhaps you got any suggestions?
I do not like fruity beers, or beer that got to much of a yeasty taste and I do not like when a beer is to sweat or sour and I am not very fond of Weißbier.
Most of the beers I enjoy the most are from, England,  Ireland and Czech Republic.

So what style do you prefer?..

[nizzel55]

Lager, ale, staut.
Some examples of beer I buy and drink alot: Guinness, Belhaven Twisted Thistle IPA, Innis & Gunn, staropramen, Abbot ale, old speckled hen, Smithwick's, Pilsner urquell, New Castle, Brooklyn lager, Fuller's ESB just to name a few.

[Seul]

The best stouts I've had to date were either 'merican or Dutch… So not much help there  Don't really drink standard lager either... And "ale" is too broad a term...

WE'RE STUCK!.. 

[nizzel55]

Brown Ale, Golden Ale, Indian Pale Ale and some of the "Scotch Ales"

[Seul]

What are some of the best Scotch Ales?.. And please don't tell me Gordon's Finest Scotch or X-Mas, cause I refuse to drink anything by Martin's… 

[nizzel55]

I enjoy Innis & Gunn oak aged beer now and then.
But I prefer brown ales, golden ales and IPA when it comes to ale.

[jdl1279]

If you like Scotch Ales, I can pack a pretty good one in with yours.

[Seul]

No idea whether I'm a fan so no need…
