Excellent. Prefer it over the Tripel. Can't wait.

A good number of beers, a couple of new ones, and most of the repeats are decent. I'm looking forward to this one.

Still pretty hit and miss in my opinion, but I won't complain too much about this lineup. Not too bad, actually there are a few real good ones in there! I'm not upset, there's enough there to keep me happy until Winter Seasonals.

Only thing is, we'll have to see how long they last and where/when they'll be available...

I think the line-up looks good, with some decent repeats and a few new ones. I just had a Fuller's 1845 last night and was hoping this would return, but in the meantime, I'll look forward to trying out the Westmalle Dubbel, Burton Porter, O'Haras, and of course the latest Fuller's Vintage Ale - I will be trying the 2004 edition tonight.

That does not look half bad at all imho

Lagerale you just had to mention the Fuller's 1845, damn I miss that beer and when I seen Fuller's on this list I had a breif hope that it was the excellent 1845. Hopefully, someday we'll see that one again.

Yeah, I was hoping they would have included the 1845, especially considering the one I had yesterday was my last!

I think it would make a great General List selection - I can picture it now sitting on the shelf between their London Pride and London Porter!

This is in my opinion the best Trappist/Abbey Double period. Has a little more character than Chimay Red. Absolute 10/10 for all around every day drinking.

Per my above, plus the fact that it is bottle conditioned and the fact that I turned my cold room with a fair bit of storage space into cooled beer cellar via a wine chiller , I'll be buying a 2 or 3 year supply. 10-12 cases should do it.

Look out I'll be buying out the GTA.

(Nah ... I promise I'll leave one or two bottles for you to try.)

Great lineup, much better than the Summer Release.

Fuller's Vintage, O'Hara's Celtic, Samuel Smith's Nut Brown, and Westmalle Dubbel are all hitting my cart.

Yeah, I can get into a release like this. I'll be picking up a case or two of some of these.

Must say, I like your style.

The Dubbel really caught my attention, and a fair few others are quite decent.

Well done.

Another October without a proper Oktoberfest marzen

Looks good to me. Always up for a new St. Peter's ale.

It is a pretty solid lineup but there are likely only a handful I will be picking up again.
