Bleedin 'eck..... is that brewed or distilled???? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Oliveoyl]

Have you tried "Bush de Noel"? 12% - definitely distilled

 

[FullCircle]

Bloody Swiz!
9% but in a small bottle.
Get a Duvel in a large bottle for not much less voltage.

Still means carnage at the foot of the bar stairs though.

Seem to have run out of Leffe .... however a recent trip to Brussels did result in these:

Thass beer, Jim, but not as we know it in Zummerset. Bet it sterilises the tonsils on the way down.

 

[ShipsWoofy]

Are not these types of chemicals sorry, lagers, known as wife batterers nowadays.

These beverages are not "lagers" - lagers are what spotty oinks guzzle on a Friday/Saturday night.

This is civilisation.

A number of years ago, we tested and tuned a number of these nutter lagers, Our fond collective noun for them was 'nerve gas'. Wholly appropriate.

Civilisation - ohhh! Agreed.

Draught Leffe, at a mere 6.5%, should be sipped and savoured as a fine wine . . .

Over a quarter of a century ago, when Popeye and I started "going out", I was a confirmed pils drinker, and could put away more than was healthy, without obvious ill effect, apart from extra kilos. One evening, he introduced me to Rochefort 8, which I drank with same gusto as pils. Not a good idea, spent the whole drive home with head out of car window, and can now only (just) envisage cilivised beers if served in tiny glasses.

It was well worth getting accustomed to though
Must admit I'm looking forward to making myself ill by partaking of a sample or two

Will , very apt description and a short note to those that think there is something similar between lager and these beverages . There isn't

See you in Oostende Olive
