What's your favorite Beer?

Pretty good as in I should only buy one 4-pack or pretty good as in buy all the stock they have?.. 

[Chris]

What size are the bottles there?  I've only seen 750ml here.  If they're smaller, I'd recommend a four pack.  I think I only bought two or three.

All the Smokestack Series are in 750ml, corked bottles here in sunny Norway. I've got the Quadruple and the Imperial Stout down for ageing.

That Harvest Dance was boss @Seul . There was more than a whiff of Nøgne about it in the taste, somewhere between #100 and the Tiger Trippel. I'll be cleaning out the local next time I'm in there. Also, that 8% Saison you posted a couple of days ago looks fit. Strong Saisons give me the horn…

Haha - first question I asked to Geers when they posted it today… They're 35cls bottles!.. So that's awesome... Well: it's more convenient... Four pack it is...

@neph93:

Same!.. Saison Rue is the best one at 9%!..

@Seul:

Saison Rue is the best one

Duly noted…

[Seul]

But nothing beats Orval… Yes: it's not regularly described as a saison, and technically probably isn't one, but in my mind it is the best farmhouse ale out there...

[neph93]

Word. I tend to always have a bottle on standby. Just damn tasty.

[Seul]

I've been watching Geers' timeline like a shithawk since they posted about Dieu du Ciel yesterday and yes sir: 4 hours ago they posted they now have PECHE MORTEL…

Going tomorrow morning...

Don't blame you. Just had a look at their website. This looks special:
ISSEKI NICHO (ISSEKI NICHO)
Imperial Dark Saison - 9.5% alc./vol.
341 ml (11.5 fl.oz.)

This very unique beer was born in 2009 from a special collaboration between Dieu du ciel! and Shiga Kougen, a brewery from Nagano, Japan. Black in color, it is an hybrid between an Imperial Stout and a Belgian Saison. It presents predominant bitterness and roasted malt flavours, balanced by strong alcohol content. The finale is dry, complex and spicy, a typical signature given by Saison yeasts.

So good…

[neph93]

Tasty, tasty stuff. Not magnificent, but pretty, bloody good.

[Seul]

Blame Canada.

[Broark]

Sorry Seul, Atrial sold out by Saturday afternoon. Maybe I'll get some later this summer!

[Seul]

All good man, no worries.

@Seul:

I thought Halia was good, Sophie was ok.  My favorite from Goose Island is still Lolita.

[Seul]

They only had Mathilda, but I didn't buy that… That Halia best be fucking good at 18 €/ bottle... 

Finally some more Dupont saison... Love this stuff...

[Seul]

Well this is pretty damn good. Raspberry ed.
