Duly noted. Thanks, Peter.

I've got a gift card from BevMo burning a hole in my pocket. They don't carry that particular Belgium brew, I don't think. I'm sure I can find something, though.

Why do my favorite beers have to be seasonal?? I picked up another Gouden Carolus beer a few days ago and decided to crack it open with dinner tonight. This one was their Grand Cru of the Emperor (scroll to bottom), brewed each year only on Feb. 24th. This bottle happens to be a 2005, so it has aged a year, and boy is it tasty! This one ranks right up there with the Noël I had last year during a particularly good beer outing. It's not quite as smooth as the Noel, but it's got layers upon layers of flavor. I'd call it malty and semi-sweet if forced to use few words.

I need to get some more before it's all gone, now.

I had a tasty but forgettable Rogue Chocolate Stout on my birthday. Definitely stouty, definitely chocolatey, but lacking in depth and oomph. I was hoping for more as I've not yet delved into Rogue's repertoire. Perhaps I don't need to.

Hola, Peter and James! The Beer Thread Lives!

Peter, I've found that - sometimes - Rogue beers get a bit stale. From the perspective of my own market, I can understand why. They are a bit more expensive than the beers I often compare them to. Consequently, it is possible that the Rogue you had may have suffered from bad treatment.

Personally, I had a Rogue XLS Imperial IPA on Saturday, and it was fantastic. Really deep, rich and well-balanced at 9% abv and 74 IBU.

We also had a La Chouffe and I found it as delightful as ever.

As promised, I drank a Lagunitas Censored Rich Copper Ale in your honor last night.

Salut!

I had mentioned to Peter a few weeks ago that I found a new (to me) Unibroue at BevMo - Don de Dieu. It's a triple that used be only available in Quebec, but has since been released internationally. I probably neglected to mention anything here because it actually wasn't anything special (by Unibroue standards, anyway). Somewhat like Fin du Monde, but not quite as well balanced - it's a bit too sweet. Still a very nice triple, though.

I agree with you, Adam. That is probably my least favorite Unibroue beer. I have a "15" in the fridge that I will probably share with my father-in-law this weekend. I've not experienced it before.

This may have been covered in an earlier post (no, I haven't read the whole thread, I've got mental illness to stamp out, people!), but I am wondering what you guys think of the "Born on" dates and other suggested expiration dates for beer.

Being an amateur, I am enjoying my Sam Adams Octoberfest as much now as I did in October.

Other things I like:

1. Newcastle Brown Ale
2. Anchor Steam Porter
3. Guinness
4. Zima and other fruity malt beverages

I'm waiting for the lightning to strike me for #4, or at least the "plastering" I will no doubt get from somebody...
