This was my 5th bottle of the 2013 version. It is very good, but I find the bourbon flavour a bit subdued. I've heard that they reused the same barrels from the previous year for the 2013 release.Belgian wrote:^ How was the BA Peche for you, I was a bit underwhelmed but it was fine. Still like the regular bottled one the most of all versions.

It was very good! Though I don't think there is all that much that separates it from the Rochefort 10. Both amazing beers. I really like quad's so it was great to finally try this.jprime wrote:I hope it was as good as you hoped!

Over the last couple of weeks:
A red IPA from Oast House, draft at Volo, excellent malt sweetness and mineral (non-citric) hop flavour.
A very fresh Guinness at Rebel House, left rings on glass (can't recall that before), light chocolate taste, no stale flavours, quite a roiling hop bitterness in the aftertaste.
The new 6.5% Spring Bock at LCBO, Barn Door Brewery. On the dry side and not bad at all but I'd consider making it richer if re-brewed, I think a bock should have some sweetness and this had very little.
Conductor Stationmaster Stout, draft at Cloak and Dagger. Very good, big grainy taste likely from unmalted barley, very fresh, interesting contrast to the Guinness and bigger taste but not actually more bitter, IMO (au contraire).

recently and presently:
Alesmith Grand Cru, what a nice one. By turns date-fruity, herbal, dry, mineral, winey. Not unlike brews from Westmalle, Achel and Rochefort.
Alesmith make brews with such a great palate feel too. Big a$$ 750ml bottle, 10.6%, I used a little in a beef short ribs marinade (another story.)
