Dugges x Siren collab, a smoked imperial porter, so I was expecting more… Not bad, though!..

Copped these a few weeks back. The regular is still on shelves around here.

Beautiful beer innit?.. Both fresh and aged… If you want some (more), let me know though... This is seasonal: made once a year and usually gone by spring...

[Giles]

I'm OK thanks Eli…...

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

[Seul]

SAISON DUPONT (top three saison-wise for me)
DE DOLLE ARABIER (De Dolle don't make bad beer)
TRIPEL KARMELIET (solid)
WESTMALLE TRIPEL (excellent)
ORVAL (in that same top three with Dupont…)

DE DOLLE OERBIER (ooooooh yeah, personal fav)
ST BERNARDUS ABT 12 (solid)

[Alex]

Thanks, mate

@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.

2009 and 2012 labels were re-used for later bottles… So it might be 2015 or 2016...
