Yeah, heard mixed reports on Delirium. Palm is lovely and a good transition beer from the Blondes to the more darker stuff. The Palm in the pic isn't the regular one, it's the Christmas special brewed one which is very strong flavoured, almost nutty.
Gordon is a 10% and quite the arse kicker. I have never drank a lot of it but I'd say the hangover would be almighty.

Speaking of Palm.
Palm beer, It is an amber beer, kinda mid way between blonde and brown. It is 5.4% and is a lovely transition beer to go up the colours. Check out their niffty website in the link.
I like this beer and have drank a fair bit of it. Cost about 75c for a 33cl can.
Worth it and would recommend.
7/10
Next up is N'ice Chouffe
. A lot of Belgian breweries bring out a Winter/Christmas beer and this is one of them. It is a strong dark beer, 10% and full of flavour. Unlike the other high alcohol content beers, it doesn't leave a strong after taste.
In a bar it cost around €3 for a 33cl glass, it can only be got in draught and 750ml bottles.
N'ice Chouffe is a drink I would have before a session but I couldn't see myself drinking it all night. That said, it is a nice treat and is only available for a limited time per year, so that gives it extra points in my book. Think Cadbury's Creme egg, back in the day, when you'd eat as many as possible in the few weeks they were around
7/10
Next up is Hopus. It is a Blonde beer 8.3%. It is strong to the taste and very flavoured.Costs about €3.50 for a 33cl bottle in a bar. How ever about it's taste, it's all about how it is served.
We walk into a bar, wall to wall with fridges. My mate recommends I try it so I order it. We are told to sit and the bar lady drops them over, she cracks open the bottle with a loud pop and pours the beer with earnest, The very last few drops of the bottle is the yeast sediment.Which is then poured into a shot glass. You can knock it back, or normally you pour it into your glass to strengthen the beer.
I enjoyed the whole ritual of it.
Good taste, nice ceremony. Enjoyable package.

Tried this one tonight. Its ok nothing wrong with it, but not really to my taste. Sipped it at room temperature ,I see some people online as saying it might be better served cold, but I'm not mad about cold ale.
Imo Ale is better at room temperature.
Also tried the Canadian lately ,but just found it to be a mediocre beer .Still hav'nt found anything to replace Kwak .
My local is selling Utopias limited edition (2013) for anyone interested. Its only €200 a bottle.I tried the 2009 edition and liked it big time.
Might ask the wife for a early xmas present.:D0 -
