Stunning picture. I am salivating openly.
Is this a beer you brewed yourself or one that has been brewed locally?
As someone who likes good fruit sour beers, this sounds delicious and I can imagine that it must be incredibly tart.
We brewed it here at the Brewery.
I had wondered when I saw the sour cherries, cranberries and pomegranate in the photograph.
Very mouth puckering, I should imagine, but refreshing and tart.
What is the abv?
Mikkeller have produced some stunning sour cherry beers, and excellent raspberry beers - beers that were tart but still beautifully balanced.
It can be quite difficult to find a St Bernardus Tripel - I've only ever managed to lay hands on a bottle as part of a set of different beers by St Bernardus.
Do enjoy - a terrific beer.

Of triples?
Or, the Pater (6), Prior (8), Abt (12), and Tripel four pack?
Needless to say, that is a brilliant four pack, if that is what it was.
Of the tripels!
I was over joyed!
6 pack of the Salvator Double Bock.

Over-joyed? Wow. You were blessed indeed to have been able to lay hands on such treasure.
I been living right...
Call me impressed.
I must see if my sources can unearth such a treasure for me....
Mind you, this time of year - as we are now approaching the Yuletide season - will see some of the classic Belgian brands putting out "Christmas Specials". St Bernardus certainly do - their Yuletide Special is a sort of enhanced Christmas " Abt 12" (an enhanced version of the Abt 12), as do the Achouffe brewery (their N'Ice beer is well worth sampling, and their labels are charming).
I have no idea.
But, surely you can ask your sources - I know some young enthusiasts who work in the off licence - whether they can source such delights and import them for you.
Two months ago, when I first came across a reference to Curmudgeon's Better Half, I wondered whether it could be sourced and idly inquired about this. My persistence was rewarded.
Speaking of Curmudgeon's Better Half, I am currently sipping a glass of this nectar.

Finishing up the last of this one...
I hope the beer was as seductively tasty as it looks, but the glass is glorious.
Its been a good day so far
Arrogant Bastard? What a wonderful name for an ale.
My beverages this evening have been, firstly, the excellent, TOØL - Ms Black 2018 Edition - Liquorice & Date Imperial Stout, and secondly, Curmudgeon's Better Half, a stunning ale.
Bravo, I had forgotten that; as the beer is not readily available (or available at all) here, I cannot offer an objective pinion as to its merits, but would love to try it someday.
Our newest beer release for this Friday. It's spectacular!!
