What beer are you drinking now? #2947

Une Westmalle Tripel s'il vous plait:



Getting up there in age, 5 years past its Best Before...

Cheers.

 

Bon jour mon ami, ca va? I was writing the review and will post now, thanks!

 

4.54/5 rDev +4.8%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Best Before 7 May 2015, so a bit past its best Before date...stored in cellar conditions.

9.5% abv, into Westmalle Chalis, almost clear - a bit murky, with soft yeast esters and mellow malt with a soapy white head which quickly settles into a white cap ring...sediment/yeast cake on the bottle's bottom...

On the nose, fruity subtle yeast with a solid malt backbone.

On the mouth, light and effervescent - past its prime, for those that like young ageable beer, but for those that like older mature ageable beer, this is a real treat that is not meant to be rushed, rather savored as one contemplates its many unique facets...

Slight warming on the way down...

Overall, this one aged pretty well - cheers.

Thanks for reading.

 

I have three (3) hobbies/passions: 1: Belgian Bier, 2: Vin rouge de France et California, et 3: le Cyclisme... many cellared Belgians that I open from time to time as one acquires a taste for older mature strong natured beers...

 

Little frost on the pumpkin this morning and kicking this Saturday off with some Barreled Souls. Cantaloupe and guava to start my day. Will be back this afternoon after working my second job selling great beer. Cheers all.

 

Disappeared, but lurked in the background for a while - a disappointing season, but the UCI did what they could with the situation they had - this break in racing most likely extended the professional careers of most riders as competing at this level takes a negative toll on the physical as well as the mental/emotional well being of the competitors...C'est la Vie, as they say...

 

Tree House Super Radiant

 

There is an 800 pound gorilla named Tokyo Summer Olympics due to arrive in July.

 

One can only hope - as things are progressing on this side of the world, we will see if the athletes are allowed to compete outside of the country...

 

Good Day BAs! Another frosty morning here in the tundra of NW PA - won't be long before the polar bears migrate through. Today's New Breakfast Beer is from @FBarber in a LIF from BIF12:



A very pleasing Murican pale ale! 4.02, rDev +0.2%.

 

Have a good Saturday. I went out with my dad for dinner last night, and moved the cats in with me. I got Bo and Chuck. Looks like I will be woke up every morning from now on at 6 am to feed them. They were both roaming around my bedroom. My gorgeous lady is coming to spend the night again at 530. Going to skyline chili. I woke up in the dark thinking it was 6pm and I overslept. Looks like the cats won't let that happen. Edibles and fun tonight. I need to toke up this morning.

Guard cat.


Amazing as usual.


Cheers

 

Today is going to be a good day! Cheers!

 

I’m surprised by that comment. I was always under the impression that Belgians were made for long term cellaring. Who knew? Evidently, not me!

 

ye-gods - this will get you where you need to be in an awe inspiring manner.

Please keep us apprised as to how your most interesting day progresses...

cheers.

 

I am of the mind set that ALL beers may be cellared - as long as the appropriate expectations are understood at the onset, one will be rarely disappointed and will be rewarded for their patience and perseverance.
