2x6, lunch was great. Is it ok to let everyone know that you have a beautiful place with a peek-a-boo ocean view? Really some prime real estate here in so Cal, though I feel sorry for your new neighbors (they'll need ear plugs!).
Tom, they were out of the Czechvar so we drank primarily German Helles, one of those Schwarzbiers, and a very nice Dunkel. I've had the Schwarzbier a few times before, always liked it, but I paid much more attention to it this time. It is very good - lacking the hoppy bite of the pilseners. Though dark in color, I didn't taste any roasted malt or black patent. The Dunkel was very good, too, but I forget the label.
I left the Westmalle Dubbel in 2x6s frig, so I'll have to pick that one up again sometime. I have the Affligen, Carmeliet, and Corsendonk in my frig - chillifying. I'll give them a couple days before sampling and reporting back.
