"Whyyyyyyy" yet therefore why not begin a recovery: Of warm, inebriated, "well why not" kinda acceptance and like my forefathers and foresisters before me, solace comes in a pintglass This is a beer I would not usually try But a certain dark beer was not available and the bloke suggested (I am sure with commission in mind) this one I do not begrudge him his commission he heard my preferences and this beer is ... wow... Wow I might need to revisit after another swig... Strewth... strong... tasty Wow ok The cognac (is they how people spell it?) is instant and delicious Yes "the Cognac is Strong with this one" I recently made the Devils Half Ruby Porter - heaven in a bottle with some dark yet comforting music- and that comes to mind with this I can indeed taste blackforest herry hues but I fear it would take more maturing time to fully explore this aspect than what I am Realistically going to give it THIS TIME ROUND - did you read that? I intend to make this again and tweak or twerk or whatever the correct wording is... If any human digs this brew please advise what twerkings work well.... Thia is vwey expensive but so delicious It is also soooo heavy... wow this experiment is a true sacrifice... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Lindemans Faro - a Belgian lambic. Now this one is not bad at all. A bit sweet but still a bit of sourness to it. Interesting Can’t wax as lyrical as @Cee but I’ve got to make dinner 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Not for the faint-hearted at 10% but quite amazingly complex: malty, chocolate, full body, rich, a bit of toffee or caramel…. Made by the same folk at Westvleteren, where you have to queue up in the car park once in a blue moon when they flog the stuff. Tempted to go up there some time to buy a slab. Could make a proper pilgrimage of it Edited January 8, 2022 by stquinto Typo 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmar92 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 @stquinto is that the knock off version of Westvleteren Trappist beer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Just now, kmar92 said: @stquinto is that the knock off version of Westvleteren Trappist beer? That’s the one mate. You can buy that in the shops: for the Westvleteren they used to have it on sale a few times a year and you had to wait in the monastery car parc until they called you in. You could buy 2 slabs maximum. Now I read they have occasional delivery slots because of Covid. I have a colleague in Belgium, I might get some delivered to her place. Her hubby is a bit of a p*ss head too so I’m sure it’ll work. Once everything “opens up” again, I might do a road trip up there and fill the car up with grog. And visit some museums too, of course… 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Trawled the storages for any remaining vessels holding beer ; ) Here a taschty Rusty Penny IPA - just beautiful.

Aussiekraut Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 @disgruntledI am playing with the dark side of the force here… It is sour and tastes of raspberry but besides, it is rather uneventful. I’m missing the zing of the Water me Lawn. It’s good to drink but not as a beer to be honest. 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickers Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Stomping Ground (Vic) Stringer's Creek Pilsner with lemon myrtle, co-collaboration beer with Melbourne restaurant Farmer's Daughters. Scored a 4 pack of this from the work christmas present carve up and it's pretty damn good. initial flavour from the get go, a bit of a different sort of aftertaste but after a couple of mouthfuls, my palatte has adjusted. great colour and clarity, very happy with this one. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
