    Tomorrow I'll be going to Westvleteren to pick up some beer. So I will also finally return the empty crates I bought 8 years ago or so. And I just discovered I still have 2 bottles left! This still tastes damn fine knowing it was stored in the garage for multiple years. Cheers!

    Drinking also an iconic Belgian beer, though a recent re-release from Trappistes Rochefort, their triple extra which was first brewed in 1920:

    Santé from a very, very rainy and dreary day in the north of France. Netflix and Amazon along with home chores I’m afraid.

    Good day BAs! Thanks for our early start @belvedere86, and for sharing your treasures…your Westy 12 looks phenomenal at, if I’m getting the dating right, 11and1/2 years old. I’ve cellared TR 10 for over 10 years, but we don’t get Westy here in the States. Cheers!

    I like the time roll back. The dogs and I typically rise with the sun and I’m a morning person. Usual chores done, so I’m sipping/working on notes for a new beer just released yesterday - Cycle Brewing’s “BA SZN - Chocolate Orange”, a 3 years BBA Imperial Stout:

    Smells like Cointreau. Tastes like chocolate orange candy at Christmas. Orange stouts are few and far between, and this beer is a dandy. Tasting notes in a few over on the NBW thread if you want to know more…Cheers and have a great day y’all!

    I think the dating on the bottle is the BBD. If Im right they put 3years on it. So it was bottled on the 10th of April 2013. Cheers!

    G'day all!

    Chilly morning but it is supposed to get to the upper 40s F.

    I'm drinking the "muted" version of Old Speckled Hen. Damn nitro bs.

    Prost!

    I thought that was the BB date and mistakenly went back 5 instead of 3 years. I believe TR goes back 5 years. Is that your understanding? Cheers!

    Prost!

    Drinking my last Hammerheart Gorm the Old, still tastes good after 7 months or so in the fridge. The mesquite smoke is still sharp.

    Posting from last night. We did a team building thing for the shop and went on a ghost tour. The tour was dope, but the highlight was TRVE and music city hot chicken...

    Started the night with a guest tap, resident culture forever alone Nelson. @TheIPAHunter I highly recommend if you haven't had it. I haven't had Nelson pop like this in years. Followed that up with COLD from TRVE. Pretty sure COLD has some Brett cross contamination that makes it so fucking rustic. A personal favorite. Ghost tour was cool, I nabbed a picture of half a face in a window, and was forever plagued with camera issues. Weird.

    What's best in life? Nelson beers done well.
