Re: What're you drinking right now?

Had part of 1 of my 6 Abbaye de Rocs today. It was pretty good, but not up to St Berny or Rochefort standards. When wife got home from work opened a Left Field Laser Show, bottled Mar 6. Before the cap was fully removed I could smell the hops! Wife rated it amongst the best ever, and I agree it was ...

Re: What're you drinking right now?

I picked up 6 Abbaye des Rocs today, they had a sticker over the label stating 10.3% abv! As I said in a previous post, this 100 rated beer, imported from Belgium, for $6.20/750mL must be one of the best values ever. Also got a Straffe quad, but declined the $20 Deus Brut.

Abbaye de Rocs is listed now. At $6.15 for a 750ml bottle of 9% imported Belgian beer, rated 100 on ratebeer, has to be one of the best lcbo values of all time

I see the agency that brought modern times also carries Alesmith. That would be pretty sweet if that showed up sometime

Re: What're you drinking right now?

I agree about ipa 5, wife and I split one last night, it was like a glass of orange juice, first time I’ve had an Ontario one that looks like the pictures of trillium and treehouse I’ve seen. Top notch, will enjoy while it’s here. A good reward after getting out of hospital from quintuple bypass sur...
