I also got the La Trappe Quadrupel that I really want to try. We'll see how that goes.
 
This evening the girlfriend dropped by with a Straffe Hendrik Tripel that her parents got from Bruges. Delicious as always. It is such a shame that not a lot of local stores sell this beer.
 
Oh, and I went to the Mitra the other day. Guess what... no Christoffel!

What a shame!

 

[apatN]

Yeah, that hit me hard. The worst thing was that the owner recommended the La Trappe after I told her there was no Christoffel...

very different, Christoffel is very smooth, La Trappe isn't

 

[apatN]

She did mention that, guess I am just not really a fan of the sweeter beers.
 
I like the smoothness you mentioned. That combined with strength is what I am after. I like a heady Blond, Tripel or Weizen very much. But then I can also appreciate the darker beers (goes so well with meat, too).

Just picked these up a few minutes ago, along with a six of Founders Centennial.
 
The Dogfish Head should be pretty weird.

A modern update on a 9th century Finnish proto-beer.  
Brewed with rye, we caramelize the wort with white hot river rocks, then ferment it with a German Weizen yeast. In addition to juniper berries foraged directly from the Finnish country-side we added a sort of tea made with black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and black pepper.

The spicing is subtle and balanced and Sahtea is a highly-quaffable, truly-unique brew with a full-mouth feel.

The Dogfish Head was awesome.

Good idea, I just might take one out of the fridge myself

Do it.

I had a great weekend of beer drinking at a nice Belgian beer bar with a great selection of beers in Philly.

Started with an Orkney Skullsplitter (Wee Heavy), to a Traquair House Jacobite Ale, and finished with an Allagash Curieux. All different, but great beers that continue my recent trend of loving oak aged beers.
