Just checked out their site... Gawd damn 12% ABV. Not sure if things changed after being aged or not as that was for the regular Speedway Stout.

Barrel aging shouldn't alter the alcohol content at all. Can't wait to crack her open though, only about 2 more hours ;).

Lucky bastard... I can't get it over here due to being on the East Coast. :( But you're in Germany... WTF!? Haha!

www.ratebeer.com <-- your new addiction. See "for trade" section ;). Your welcome.

I think it was $18 for a 1/3 tiny ass little beer.

Wow... That's weak.

Brian, I'm actually already a member over there... Just not a Premium one yet to open up the trade section.

That's really not that bad then all things considered. The decent restaurants and bars in Belgium that don't try to COMPLETELY rape you charge somewhere around 5-6 euro (about 8-9USD) the beer shops and asshole-owned bars charge upwards of 16-18 euro a piece. Granted buying from the monastery you pay about 1.80 euro a piece, but it's damn near impossible to do so.

Hustler - whatever that was that you tried to get me crunk on and "Bro rape" me with was awesome! 10% is def. where its at for a beer! ;)

The trade threads are open to all members, I'm not premium either...there's some features that are locked out but you can still look at the ISO/FT threads and message people with no issues, I've completed quite a few trades lately (including this growler :drool:)

Good to know... Thanks!

As I had a Delirium Tremens last night... I figured it would only be right if I had a Delirium Nocturnum tonight. Mmmmmmm. I may or may not post a picture tomorrow.

Gotcha covered ;)

Thank you sir. Haha!

Beer #2 for the evening is an Avery Salvation Belgian-Style Golden Ale per hustler's review... Not a bad choice. Thanks for the suggestion.

And for your viewing pleasure.

So two of these BJ's Brewhouses are being opened up in SA, one close to me, opens next week. It's a chain but supposedly brews beer on-site. Anyone tried any of their brews?

I suppose I'll be finding out for myself soon enough.

I have not... Report back upon trying them.

The few reviews on RB don't give them much credit, but they tend to be a bit beer-snobish on occasion, go grab a beer and enjoy it, what's the worst that could happen?

This! That is unfortunately the problem with some of the beer review sites, as some beers get bad reviews and everyone avoids that beer like the plague... However, it might be something that your palette truly enjoys. Trust me, I know...

Yeah I don't think I would let one or two bad reviews from snobs keep me away. All I am risking is a bit of my time and a few bucks after all. Their stout looks tasty judging from the description on their standard microbrew menu.

I've had all of the BJ beers. They're all worth trying and they should have a sampler. I like the dark ones.

Tasmania sux, i want beer with an elephant on it
