Even better on draft. I worked in a boozer years ago, it sold like nothing else. God knows what it's like in Germany.
Not had it on draught, but have had Henkell Trocken - one of the half dozen 'Munich Biers' on draught - at a highly recommendable Thai restaurent/bar in Tunbridge Wells. The combination was the reason I took that contract over 2 others - including one with a golf sim across the road - in the 'easy money' days!

Few guys I know at St Andrews worked for the RAF and rave about it. It's known as wobbly there ? ?

Started off with a pink gin and tonic, couple of glasses of Albarino, hope you know where that is from Hobbit, small glass of port with some blue cheese and now Marlborough Villa Maria.
Mrs 3OTT drinks a similar amount, possibly more

Westvleteren 12 is a personal favourite but the blond is very drinkable too.

I've put the vast majority of my bottles of 12 and 8 in a sealed box in a dark corner of the garage for long term aging. The Blond however needs drinking as it doesn't benefit much from extended aging (we had a great comparison session at my local homebrew club earlier this year between bottles of 12 and Blond of varying ages)...my Blond's are now coming up to 8 months old and I reckon will be peaking in the next 4 months. Plus, once I've drunk them it will be an excuse to order more and have a day trip to Belgium to pick them up (once this damned virus has buggered off).

This months commercial tasting was supposed to be a comparison between the Westy 12, St.Bernardus Abt 12 and Rochefort 10. Looks like we are going to be meeting via Video so its going to be down to me on my own to do the comparison.

I know that a lot of people say that Bernardus 12 is actually the superior of the three but I rate it the lowest of all of them. All fine tipples though.

Once this is all over I’m getting myself to Belgium and sitting for a day in Cantillon and pickling myself.

I know it’s a school night, my throat is a little sore. So I am on a hot toddy - honey, whiskey, lemon juice and hot water .. going down rather well!
