Oh yeah? Well I much prefer Edition 2004 to all the other Unibroues I've tried.

Ditto. We need to find that Gouden Noel Carolus (or whatever it's called). That's the only beer I've had that tops the Ed. 2004.

Hey, it's the Bukowinski brothers chiming in on Begian style beer made in Canada.

I guess my work here is done for now.

I can't always get the Edition (either 2004 or 2005) but can always get Trois Pistoles, La Fin du Monde, Blanche de Chambly and Maudite. I just never really warmed up to the Maudite. I don't disagree with you about the Edition, but its rarity and price don't allow me to drink it as often.

Of course, I am doing more than talking about beer, unlike some people I know.

The Belgian Shop does carry some Carolus beers. I think they might get the Noel in December.

I have yet to try an Edition 2005, but I've still got at least 3 bottles of 2004. Don't worry, I plan to have a beer or two this weekend...

Tom, your taunt caused me to lose self control while I was at the supermarket picking up some chile powder. I ended up also buying a (cute little) case of Session Beer. It's pretty tasty and I could see myself accidentally going through a few too many in one sitting. I also picked up a 1 pint+6oz'er of Lagunitas Capuccino Stout. I'll report on that one later. I'm going to wait until Adam is around so I can share it.

The 2005 is nothing to write home about - at least by Unibroue standards. I prefer the Terrible for a dark Unibroue.

Tom, I tried the Sessions lager tonight - it's definitely one of the better lagers I've had, but I guess I'm just not much of a lager fan. Not that I didn't like it, but it's not the flavor I usually go for in beers. I prefer things a little heavier.

Adam, I do too. Typically, if I can't get a porter or a stout or a dubbel, I'm grumpy. But I've just found the Session to be so unpretentious and refreshing that I'm smitten. It's just so nice to have a clean, pale all-malt lager with North American hops.

Peter, it pleases me no end that I goaded you into having a beer. Clearly, your quality of life needed a nudge, and that $10 wasn't going to make a difference on your down payment anyway.

Let me know about that Lagunitas black beer.

The Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout is quite tasty, and its improving as it de-chills in my glass. It's not as dark as I was expecting -- I can almost see to the bottom of the half-pint glass I poured. (Hey, I'm sharing with Adam.) It's almost the color of Black Butte. As for taste, it has a hint of sweetness, but the majority of the flavor comes as the beer glides past the mid-palette. Faintly bitter, which perfectly counteracts the first hint of sweetness. Overall, it's rich, dark, and tastes of coffee (ya think?)

Thanks for goading. I shall call you Tom Goad for a day.

I feel like such a newbie with my little Sam Adams Octoberfest bottles in the fridge...
