I would get St. Bernardus and Corsnedonk and send them to me. You can also pick up the same for you.

yep, aged in French oak. good stuff. I suck at not drinking my beers, so aging is difficult for me. but it's a good beer.

I have had the 15, 16, and 17 regular releases; kindly aged by a store near me. Kind of winning, living around Detroit Metro sometimes. Lots of well aged craft beer if you know where to look.

I broke in the Teku tonight. Noms

[SpeedCheeser]

Will be in Wisconsin over holidays...will need to look for brews to pick up that are not available down south.

The best Xmas beers I have ever had were Belgian. None of those American spiced Ambers can even measure up. The mad elf is a Belgian style, but it doesn't even compare at all.

Ill be stocking up on fresh Belgians in the next week or so. Local shop just got some St Bernardus and Gouden Carolus in. Also Scaldis. Sucks that spices fade in beer, time to drink em fresh.

I really love the St. B. and Mikkeller. Never seen a Donk Xmas, but I also don't like 'regular' donk either. I've seen Delirium Noel, but always avoided due to my distaste for Delirium Tremens.

[TopsecretWaffle]

just poured this and went WTF?!?! wasnt expecting such darkness as the previous were all light gold. a VERY nice surprise! holy fawk its delicious

very spiced, classified as a belgian dark ale but drinks like a winter warmer . tastes just like some delicious gingerbread cookies. stocking up on this ASAP

Donk Abbey Brown Ale is good. Pale Ale not so. I don't like DT either but the Delirium Noel is solid. If I see a bottle of it I'll put it in your box ya *******!

[vizslove]

Mad Elf? Negged....
Head north to Village Beer Merchant or Premier Gourmet and pick up St. Bernardus Xmas or Mikkeller Santa's Little Helper.
Do you train down in Hamburger? If so, ever been to World Gym?

Ill stop at Village Beer Merchant at some point this weekend and pick each of those up. probably stop at Kunis for some sushi then too And yeah I lift at Worlds in Hamburg 5x a week. U been?

Same here. Never a huge DT fan but love the Delirium Noel. Belgian brews FTW.

went out with my roommate and his coworkers...didnt have to pay, one of them expensed it on his company card...why cant my company ever do this. Tequila and saki shots fml...I hate hard alcohol and tequila is the worst. But I was the only one that downed the double shot in one gulp. The saki actually wasnt half bad.

Do you ever drink quality whisky? I'm finding it just as enjoyable as a good beer. But yeah if I were drinking gut rot tequila and vodka all night, I'd feel like shyt the next morning too.

I actually feel surprisingly well all things considered...the last few weeks ive had terrible hangovers from excessive amounts of beer. But I absolutely chugged 40 oz of water before I went to sleep last night. I did this in college and it usually worked. The tequila was at the nicest sushi restaurant in boston so it was probably a decent brand if there is such a thing. Im just upset I got there when they were basically done eating. I would have went to town on the sushi...I havent had any in a few months.

As far as whisky no...my parents are very big into single malt scotches...I bought my father a 17 year macallan last year for xmas and he regularly drinks 12 and 18.

Ive tried them but they just dont do anything for me. But like craft beer its an acquired taste and if you are not used to it you wont like it.

Im thinking of getting my dad a 20 year macallan this year...would go for the 25 but I dont have a huge salary.



oh and haha my roommate was so ****ed up...he ordered the shots then didnt even know how to do the salt and lime bit. I had to tell him about the lime and he started like biting it.

I've only had Wasabi and Fuji Grill. But no, I know a guy from another forum who trains there, and I know a trainer who may still be there, Mike Botticelli. Dude's not small.

Off to get drunk at my niece's first birthday party. My brother picked up a keg of 512 pecan porter this morning - yeeaaah.

Yeah it's not for everyone. I haven't gotten into scotch too much since my budget is holding me back. Quality beer is a better bang for your buck than an expensive bottle of whisky. I mostly drink 10-15 yr old scotch since my income isn't disposable. A bottle of 20 year old Macallan is still a great gift. I've only had up to the 18, and it was amazing. Alcohol was almost undetectable for being 86 proof.

[TerpMuscle]

Swimming you say?!? It's music to my ears. Heaven in a bottle.

Picked up a bomber 2 weeks ago to introduce it to my girl. She loved it!

She also loved the chocolate oak aged yeti too.

Gotta grab some christmas belgians for her

Kunis>Wasabi>Fuji Grill - Kunis has the best sushi in Buffalo by far IMO, and some choice sake as well if you're into that.

Ah Big Mike, yes he's still a trainer there. He's a beast!

Chocolate you say? Looks like yet another ill have to add to my list. Chances are if its dark and strong I'm going to love it.

Although its not a Christmas Belgian... Pick up a bottle of Ommegang Three Philosophers for her. For me it's easy to drink, still strong with a nice dark cherry flavor.

Your bro sounds like a good man. Looking forward to being back in TX for the holidays and having some 512 pecan porter and some other good Texas beers.

I'll 2nd Terp's Choc Yeti suggestion.

My g/f loves Three Philosophers something serious too. More than she loves me I think.

Never heard of it. Will need to investigate if it's not too far.

What was the yetis you said to get? The one I had was complete trash a month or two ago.

[Vibrio]

Regular and chocolate. The espresso and belgian-style are the worst.

[Black_Label]

my bro grabbed me a six of Fire Side Chat for helping him move. mmmm good stuff

Ya, that's it. I know I had both the espresso and belgian style. Lame.

Fireside Chat is pretty damn decent IIRC. Haven't had it in a year or more though
