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

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 *******-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.

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

)

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.

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.

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.
