You will not be surprised to hear that it was also the lowest scoring rating as well.
Maybe in the next game I can award a point for an amusing name.

Itll be too late then!
My Duvel 6.66 was very meh. Much prefer their normal variety. I wouldn't recommend it if you like their standard stuff. In fact, I don't even like their Tripel Hop - which is weird, since it's won lots of awards and I would expect that they would make a great one, but nope.
I have my C lined up for this Friday. I may not get a sixth point for it since I think it's relatively common, but I did really enjoy it. I may buy it again.

Sounds like 6pts to me, is it worth the risk to get 7?
Soldato
5 points surely? Or is there additional bonus points i'm not factoring in?
So few check ins means it is likely to get a bonus point as none of my friends would have had it.
Sounds like a new beer or something very exclusive sold only at one place, a brewery one off perhaps.

Ah got you, forgot about the bonus for your friends. Thought that was just the first round and there were different bonus' each week.
I'm quite happy with my choice, although i'm double checking the rules this time!

The friend bonus is every week.
An extra bonus is also available and that will change each week. I have 10 different categories so far and as it's random, no idea what will come up. Hopefully it won't be strongest beer for the No Alcohol round.

Proper lazy this week, sorry guys. I'm not a fan of Belgian beer anyway and I was so busy I ran out of time... and all my local bottle shops open at 12 on Saturdays! Obviously paired with Nat King Cole (don't worry, I've got my Christmas albums for H...).

Last night I had a Westmill Trappist Duballe. A 7% really rich silky smooth dark beer. And followed it up with the standard Duvall. Different types of beer but I think the Trappist to be clearly superior and it's available in Waitrose. Sorry about the lack of photo evidence

Is Tripple Hop the same as the Citra? I definitely prefer that to the standard
Westmalle Dubbel is a fantastic beer and real treat to have had readily available in Waitrose. I'd also suggest checking out the below which are similar Belgian dark ale styles:
Chimay Red
Chimay Blue
Trappist Rochefort 6
Trappist Rochefort 8
Trappist Rochefort 10
St Bernardus abt 12
Not in supermarkets but readily available in the UK otherwise

For those lucky enough to live in the North West. I’m sure Booths supermarket stock a fair few of those.
Chimay Blue was my first 'proper' Belgian beer.
Rochefort is always epic. My wife caned a Rochefort 8 in five mins one night, got exceedingly drunk very quickly and then fell asleep.
