That is great to hear.
While I like all of the Belgian quads, I think that Trappistes Rochefort 10 is probably about the best of them; it is certainly better than St Bernardus 12, (which is very good).
Got a tip for us?

If youre in the area, I highly recommend any beer from Hudson Valley Brewery in Beacon, NY. They make incredible Sours.

I'm an occasional beer drinker these days. But had a nice Carlsberg export earlier.
I also had a red wine but I've no idea what it was. Wasn't really my thing.

Depends on the red wine.
Tonight, I had half a bottle of St Emilion Grand Cru - sublime. Seriously sublime.
Dark red help?
Anyway trying a new beer.
Korev. Cornish. I'm in Devon so nearly right!
Dark red, er, no.
But portably not a Pinot Noir........country, grape, name?
How was the beer?
Nearly as enjoyable as the next!
A bit of a citrus after taste, but pleasant enough.
Dark red in a green bottle with a white label. Does that help?
I picked it up from Waitrose.
Maybe castle something?
Er, no, not really, now that you mention it.
Try a beer by Buxton if you ever come across any of their products.
Enjoyed a dinner - which I hosted - where I served Margaux, St-Émilion Grand Cru, and Pouilly-Fuisée.
What a great beer from Pelican Brewery! I really like this one and have had a growler of it that my buddy picked up for me when he goes up there. Their Tsunami Stout is also really good. The brewery is on my bucket list of places to go!
Had a German Pilsner beer that was new to me, PFungstadter Hell. It was pretty good. Not the best, but good.
Also had an Armenian Lager style beer called Kotayk. It was just ok, I would have it again, but it won't be on my list of must have beers.

Rhett, I wasn't too hot on it but that could have been a result from what I had to eat earlier affecting my taste buds. I'll have to try the Kiwanda again to see if my earlier mental notes still hold true. It did have wonderful mouthfeel, though. Almost felt as dense as a porter with a slight oiliness but it finishes relatively crisp.

Unless it's riesling, and then I'll keep it under my jacket with a straw hidden in the lapel.
I had an extremely interesting beer the other night, although it tasted more like a peach juice than anything alcoholic. Lindemans Peche

I have found, when I had the growler and it was less than a day old, the taste was different, in a good way, compared to the bottle version that I had a few a few weeks.
I don't know if the longer it sits, it loses flavor or it's "punch" if you will. But it is one of my favorites from that brewery. It almost reminds me of a Boddingtons English Pub Ale in taste, finish, and over all feel of the beer.
You nailed the finish part!
