What are you drinking now?

[TwistedGray]

From yesterday...went down to Big Sur River with the wife to cool in the river and enjoy life before she starts school Monday.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Westvleteren 12, St. Bernardus 12, Rochefort 10 are my top 3. Westmalle and Chimay arent too far behind. The Spencers stuff is pretty tasty too

Yep much agreed. Wanted a Trappist around for my next brew. $6 just went down the drain. Never again.

Coffee.

IMHO you didnt miss much, but a $6 sink pour does suck

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Pretty darn good.

it's good people have different tastes. I'd actually put Orval at #3. It changes a lot as it ages. Around year 3-5 you get the horse blanket funk and it's a good funk. Around year 5 it gets wild but then gets really good. I currently have a bunch at 10+ years that seem to be past due. I'm gonna keep aging to see if it changes more. We'll see.

Agreed. I am pretty sure I shipped one, so maybe I'll let it sit a few and see what happens.

In my admittedly ignorance of the subject I'd have to say I enjoy Trappist more then Abbey. Only went down this experiment once before. Did brew a quad with both yeast and enjoyed the Trappist more. But couldn't quantify why.

I am trying to bring a few of each on the plane with me. Figure they would be good trade bait

Westy is the best trade bait but alas has fallen victim to the Haze craze. I enjoy Bernardus a lot and see it on sale for ridiculous low prices because it's not the craze. I buy a bunch of them when I see crazy low price tags. It doesn't mature as much as Westy with age tho. I found Westy got a little wild in middle years aging as Bernardus mellowed smoothly.

One other tidbit about Bernardus that may make it trade bait for some. I believe every 1000 bottle has the monk winking. Google it. I don't know if its urban folklore or even a market for it but an oddity to say keep an eye on when looking at bottles

And if I was looking for trade bait pick up some lambics like Cantillon or 3fonteinen

I'll have to look into that.

 

[BongoYodeler]

I'm down to my last couple Westy 12's from a trip to Belgium back in 2014.

I remember 2 or 3 years ago doing a blind taste test with a Westy 12 and a Roch 10 that I picked up here. Preferred the Roch. But I drank a Westy a few months ago and it was freaking fantastic.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I'm also a big fan of Tilquin. I use to see it a lot in the States but I think they've cut back on their distro.

Gueuze?

 

[OG-wan Kenobi]

HB Pale Ale and a dram if Buffalo Trace

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Yup

Gueuze is a lambic so a lot of people like to age them. Tilquins I've had fresh have been really good.

I'd take 3founteinen over Tilquin over Cantillon. Putting Cantillon 3rd probably p*sses a lot of people off but when Tilquin first was distro out of pure luck i got a rare highly rated bottle. Overall I think Cantillons are the biggest trade bait
