Im starting to get into them. Certainly different then what I have been drinking the last 4 years.

Monks Cafe is the true beginners sour. Not really amazing, but its not really that sour, at least when I had it. It is also pasteurized. Its good.

Now Petrus is the real deal. Its really funky and nicely tart. Expect some slight vinegar in there too, it's not a flaw. You are going to need to ease yourself into the true sours like you would with IPAs and hop bitterness. The acidity is a weird mouthfeel at first.

Get yourself some La Folie next year.

It grabs all the liquid out of your mouth and leaves it dry.

But La Fin du Monde Day is tomorrow. http://www.lafindumondeday.com/

Just tried the 12.12.12 Vertical Epic. Made to be cellared, but good now. Wildly complex. Full review on the blog.

[OmniscientCause]

Zombie dust is good stuff. Smells kind of boozy but maybe that's just the grassy nodes. Very drinkable.

Ha it is good, very good. I wish I had such a great drinkable ipa around me all the time. Is that better? It is true as well. There is nothing I can pick up that is this good. Maybe flower power.

Rep Beer Tasting: Unibroue La Fin du Monde
Friday, Dec. 21st, 3pm to 6:11pm

(translated: End of the World) We're celebrating the Mayan end of the world, 12/21/12,with a tasting of this great Belgian style Tripel by Unibroue. AND we'll also taste B Nektar Zombie Killer Mead... just in case!!

The tasting is free and of course both the La Fin du Monde and Zombie Killer will be on sale! Maybe you'll score some free glassware with your La Fin du Monde purchase.

So don't be late, we're kicking off at 3pm and going right up to THE END at 6:11pm!

its at my specialty beer store (state line liquors) back at college

[Black_Label]

First. wtf that cork, could it be in there any harder?! Looks amazing after the pour, cloudy gold but i can see through it barely.

head was insanely huge, even with a careful pour. It doesnt dissapate either.

smells really sweet, maybe honey and tiny citrus


The spice is mellow but up front
There is a TINY touch of the banana ester
Im getting a breadiness that isnt sweet like i usually apply the term to at the end. after no sips for a little while it leaves a citrus note.
Alcohol is covered well

Feels gud in my mouf

Over all id say a great beer, but they didnt push any boudries really. It is safe and awesome.


On a side note, this beer converts to pure foam upon spilling on sweat pants. just a side note.
Also, the glass i used still has head in it. mmm that good yea

[Vindicate]

got yourself a nice burner and kettle?

[Black_Label]

Hold the phone, you haven't had La Fin before tonight? What have you been doing with your life son I had a 12 ounce from a 4 pack just now. If i was going to die in an apocalypse, a Tripel would be my beer of choice.

I have never had any problems with Unibroue corks, other than some really old bottles(Anniversary 15/16/17; and some other random ones) that seemed to glue themselves to the bottle. Twist and POP

At 3am, I was home, and at least 8 beers deep with st b abt 12, la fin du monde, delerium tremens, two 2x IPAs, two Lag. Maximus, and Flower Power. Then some dude fed me crown royal maple, which is pretty awesome btw, and jameson.
