Your "white whale"?

Barbar Belgian Honey Ale. Had it at a local restaurant and I've been searching ravenously ever since. Just found out it's not distributed to Pennsylvania anymore and am having a really tough time finding it elsewhere either.

 

You enjoy plastic in your lambics?

 

I'd really like some King Henry, Fleur, Oatmeal Stout, Matilda, Sofie; and I certainly wouldn't pass on some of the BCBSs to enjoy now, and cellar for an occasion.

 

double black.

 

Well it was Fou' Foune, but I now have two. Thanks to you guys I've found my new white whales. No Bogarting, bros!!

 

2006 Abyss for me. Been trying to find one for a while now. Its the only one I need to complete my vertical. Was hoping to find one before my 40th B Day, but it doesnt look like its going to happen. Looking forward to having some good friends come over and do a 07-12 vertical.

 

Black Cherry Bomb

 

My biggest Whale is HoTD Matt. I can never seem to set something up when I have something worth trading it for...

I don't remember her name...

 

I have quite a few empty whale bottles and labels decorating my cellar and basement.

 

I am hoping that I get an opportunity to try Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I've heard it's really good...

 

My white whale is trinity's stop making sense eisbock.

I want to drink this while listening to the talking heads discography

 

HotD Dave is the only one I think of. Think I have had pretty much all the rest.

 

Pliny the Younger (after I get around to ordering some Elder), CBS, BCBVS, Westy 12 (though I should try an Abt 12 first), Heady Topper (I know it would be a relatively easy trade, I just forayed into trading yet), King Henry, Hunaphu IS Apple Brandy Barrel.

Someday I may check off some of those, someday.

 

Bass King's Ale

 

Totally unattainable one - Bells Bourbon Barrel Double Cream Stout. Kaggen is another that I don't have the ammo or expect to come close to the ammo any time soon that I've wanted for a good 5+ years.

 

Don't worry, you aren't missing out. Grab a St. Bernardus Abt 12 and be happy.



...don't hate me, BA.



EDIT: Let me clarify - Westy 12 is an excellent beer, but I don't think it's better than some of the other Trappist quads that are easier to get.

 

For the past year it had been a 2010 Deschutes Dissident and I don't see it getting any easier at the moment

 

At two years old I believe it is actually better, not "light years" better, but still significantly better, the creamy texture of Westvleteren really out does Abt 12 (one of my favorite beers) and it even exceeds Val Dieu Grand Cru which IMO is even closer to Westy 12 than St. Bernardus!
