Well, this past Saturday the one local brew pub in town celebrated their 26th anniversary. They released a limited edition Palliser Porter infused with Scotch. It was pretty good, although not quite as good as the Imperial Stout they did last year.

You're mixing up the Pater and the Agnus. On the picture it is clearly the Corsendonk Pater, the bottle even says so, for it is a dubble (abbey brown ale) and it is 7.5%

The Corsendonk Agnus is an abbey pale ale and also 7.5% so not 6.5% and is a blonde tripel, not a dubbel.

Where did you get the picture of the Corsendonk Pater from in combination with the wrong info on it? (the "Corsendonk Agnus / Abbey Pale Ale , Belgium, dubbel 6.5 % " part)

the payload brought back to PY to share with mis amigos.

Da faq, I did type from bottle in google , beer advocate opened page, I copy past, then searched img ...I have triple to

Hornbeer Caribbean Rumstout , Imperial Stout , Denmark 10%

Its decent stout but somehow I did not felt any rum taste into it, it was negative, rest is we can compose odes to make this stout great, not only but all stouts are great, imperial stouts and porters are kings of beer

Olivers / Stillwater Tuppen, USA, Porter 7%
Its dry one, dry red wine lovers might love it, It taste like stout, but later turns dry and soar like fruit beers, interesting , but this would better work small bottle or share whit someone.



Buxton Winter Stout, UK, Stout 7.4%
Nice docent tout, don't remember much about it but it was good, I think it was. Not typical British but not American either

Brooklyn Local 1, USA, Belgium Strong Ale 9%
It was on booze store like 2 years, and every time I want to buy, so one day like 3 months ago no craft beer, I decide to by it. I am disappointed actually. I like smell, but it taste like a bit better quality piss lager. I am not impressed to this one.

Great, best British imperisal stout ever, usually brits fuck up whit % when it goes whit beer, Americans make it better.

This is awesome, its like herby, like black current taste something. Interesting aftertaste.

Hop Stoopid a tasteless pilsner? it's a west coast hopped up double IPA. either the bottle you tried was REALLY old bottle or your taste buds are way off.

McGargles Granny Mary's Red Ale, Red Ale, Ireland, 4.4%¨
Well as most British beers its disappointed, as Ale it worked well, but lager would be piss. 4,4% is not beer,not made for home drink, just for pub culture. It was good before concert, chilling at home, drinking, that condition it was OK, but Brits must learn how to put 4-5% in their beers and how to drink at home, not pubs.
Ocean Extra Stout, Imperial Stout, Sweden 7%
First time in my life I am disappointed in stout, as craft beer it was nothing just water, mainstream taste of stout, nothing special, 1th time really 1th time ever in my life I did not enjoy stout!



Omnipollo Fatamorgana, Imperial IPA, Sweden, 8%
Negative is bottle, its awesome labeled drawing, but info on bottle is hard to read and hard to get unless you dont read on store, so its negative, but beer, well DIPA is DIPA, enjoyable. I like it



La Trappe Dubbel, Dubbel Abby Ale, Belgium, 7%
Best dubbel I have drunk so far! Nice smell, brown color, top, taste and after taste what stays long, basically maybe best dubbel and Trappist beer I have tasted, because Chimay, Rochefort and Westmalle is way to over used in my home. Other Belgium trappistes are way to expensive.



Dieu du Ciel Grande Noirceur, Impersial Stout, Canada 9%
Le stoute imperial whit grande taste, le staoute suppose tatsto, le birra franco Canadian what so ever, gosh I am tired of French. Its like Russian bands has VK, never use proper English source, whole America speak espanyol on FB and think world understands, Cz and Sv use some band zone, and don't get why never will be famous, parlou englai, no francais, its key factor, but beer was good, werry good, I love this brievery.

Leffe is NOT a trappist. It is an abbey beer.
There are only 11 trasppist brewereis in the world:

La Trappe - The Netherlands
Zundert - The Netherlands

Spencer - USA

Tre Fontane - Italy

Engelszell - Austria

Achel - Belgium
Chimay - Belgium
Orval - Belgium
Rochefort - Belgium
Westmalle - Belgium

Gosh you answered at the speed of light
I don't drink much beer myself but the guys explained Gert's business is doing very well.

Since you seem to be interested in the subject Marcel , another brewer who is friend of another of my cousins:
https://www.facebook.com/vtaubrewery/

The guys tasted it and it seems fine.

Still searching for good beers in Colombia.

meanwhile, per untappd had something like 60-65 new/unique beers i had not checked in before while in the US for a month.

Purchased this one from the International Wine And Culture Fest last week. The Polish booth usually has the best beer. It's kicking my ass, lol.

Decent but I did not felt chinese tea flavor as they said its there, otherwise, good better as rest piss beers there, but in some way its a bot overated

Labietis
Pela?ku Velns , Imperial stout 9,9%
Beer has yarrow flavor in in, and I would say best my origin country beer I have drink so far and probably will stay so.

Amazing

Last week we had a craft beer festival in Toulouse. 60 brewers (a bit less in the end I think) over 30 different places in the town. I certainly didn't drink that much but sampled some really nice stuff (unless noted, all were on tap). Also, note that while I'm not into sour beers, I did try some, just because I had to try again (and I don't regret it)!

FRANCE
Brasserie de la Seillone
- La Sauvageonne: coppery amber, really nice malts and caramel tastes.
Brasserie du Pays Flamand
- from their wilde Leeuw series, came a tripel aged in Sauternes barrels. Fantastic, starting like a great belgian tripel and finished like a sweet vin blanc. Amazing!
Elixkir
- Saison Abricot: Season with apricot, thymus and rosemary, nice and funny mix even if I'm not a fan
La Biérataise
- blonde à la tomate: if that slight acidic aftertaste was tomato, well...
La Chamoise
- Dubbel Trubbel: decent amber/brown dubbel, but sadly not on par with the porter
- Juicy Session IPA: nicely fruity/flowery, and not too bitter
- Robuste Porter: really nice porter with a distinct caramel vibe to it
Le Grand Bison
- Raaahaa!: really good IPA, more on the flowery notes and restrained side of things
Moehau (they've got a nice amber IPA with Nz hops, and a good witbier too)
- Blonde: tasty pilsner (but I prefer ales tbh)
- Porter: decent but a bit generic
- Sapin: amber with sapling added, but taste is almost non-existent (it's already better in bottles, and I guess it'll improve by aging)
Ouroboros
- Chimère Liquide: wheat IPA with Vic Secret, good and not too bitter
- Le Sang Des Muses: great stout with a nice fruity hop taste
Page 24 (Brasserie de Saint Germain)
- Belgian Triple Bourbon Barrel: really great and very well balanced!
- Ambrée: decent amber ale
- Imperial Stout Cognac Barrel: great but slightly too much on the Cognac side
Popihn
- Popihn Berliner Weisse: with strawberries, really decent considering I'm not a fan of the genre
- Popihn Black IPA: fantastic, really balanced between strong malts and hops
Collaborations
- Barallel / Ratz - Beer to Pear: 4 malts and cereals with pear added, nice, more on the pear alcohol than pear juice side of things
- Barallel / Brasserie du Pays Flamand / Elixkir - 'twas a great imperial porter, barrel-aged (bourbon), just a bit too much on the bourbon side
- Brasserie du Midi / Joli Rouge - Charlie Brown: brown IPA with hints of pepper in the end, decent but...
- Corrézienne / Manufacture de Bières - Citrus Maximus: American wheat Ale with Kaffir lime and pepper, a really exotic and great twist!
- Iron / La Débauche - Assam Rouge: tea (tasteful) + red lager was, well, not my cup of tea
- Joli Rouge / Ouroboros - Sainte Barbe: I already knew this imperial stout with smoked chili pepper, but enjoying it on tap was an immense pleasure
- La Braxéenne / La Garonnette - Tripel IPA: hops first, then more and more malt as it got warmer. Good work!
- bonus: tasted Know Your Enemy, an IPA craft-brewed specially for a burger restaurant here (it's still very rare in France). Less-than-average IPA for the beer lover, but it's good to see the craft beer world spill "in real life"...

Denmark
Rocket Brewing
- IPA: I don't know if it was The Problem Solver or Zero Gravity, but their sour take on the genre sure is interesting.

Spain
Basqueland Brewing Project
- Arraun Amber Ale: almost IPA in its bitterness, yet the malts were there
- Lervig No'rway José: another IPA (that I already knew in bottles), but where fruits give way to something more 'resinous'

UK
Black Metal Brewery (they're from Scotland and it shows in their beers)
- Gates Of Valhalla: real tasty oatmeal pale ale
- Will-o'-the-Wisp: juniper smoked ale, really acidic but in a different way
Lines Brew Co
- Double IPA Blend: fantastic, the sour blend makes it easily drinkable yet strong (8,1%)
- Imperial Porter: decent and quite subtle
- NE-NZ IPA: hoppily flavorful but not overbearingly so, great stuff
Mad Hatter (weren't part of the brewers in residence, but as I stumbled upon that one...)
- Orange 'N' Basil: sour, so not my cup of tea, but the mix is definitely interesting
Siren Craft Brew
- White Tips: IPA and wit work very well together, but this one is simply outstanding!

USA
Brooklyn Brewery
- Bel Air Sour: not too sour, so that was fine with me
- Brooklyn 1/2 Ale: a season light in alcoohol but not in taste. Great!
- Brooklyn Sorachi Ace Season: the famous. I did try that hop elsewhere, and it's definitely weird.
- Improved Old Fashioned: felt like drinking a weird mix of beer and stuff like jagermeister. Not for me, but happy I tried it nonetheless.
- Scorcher IPA: nice classical IPA

[no image for the Sauternes-barrel one]

Edit: pfew, done. Nice record to use later.
