Meursault 2019 and then Puligny 1er Cru (sous le puit) 2019. Got an accident but managed to save it. 😊
Wow.
Followed by "yum", serious yum.
Do enjoy.
These are two of my all time favourite wines.
A crate of beer has been delivered containing some Trappistes Rochefort beers (several bottles of both Trappistes Rochefort 8 and Trappistes Rochefort 10); several bottles of the splendid Trappist beer from Westmalle (Dubbel and Tripel), a few St Bernardus 12, and several bottles of Erdinger Dunkel.

Sipping a Friday night beer, a splendid offering from Belgium, a Westmalle Trappist Dubbel, served in a Westmalle Trappist beer glass/chalice/goblet.
Some beer was delivered this morning, several bottles of Trappistes Rochefort 10, and several bottles of the Trappist Westmalle beer, both the Dubbel and the Tripel.
Am sampling, sipping, savouring and enormously enjoying, a Westmalle Tripel.
A terrific beer.

The Westmalle Dubbel is a classic and excellent Trappist dubbel beer, dark and luscious.
However, until yesterday, I haven't ever tried the Tripel.
It is superb, every bit as good as its reputation would suggest.
Moreover, the Westmalle Tripel is supposed to be the exemplar - the original - of this style, from which all other triples derive.

And I have just opened my second Trappist beer, a Westmalle Dubbel, served in a Westmalle beer glass.
I have some Westmalle Trappist Tripel. Might be a silly question but do you chill in fridge before drinking or drink at room temperature?
I drink them - consume them, sip and savour them - at room temperature.
The beers are stored in the laundry room, which is nice and cool; however, as with white wines, I think that the fridge kills - numbs - masks - whatever flavour they have, hence, in general, I do not store beers (or wines) in the fridge.
This is becasue the flavour profile of the Trappist is so complex and subtle that you need it at roughly room temperature - nice and cool but not numbed into insensibility - in order to be able to appreciate them fully.
Now, during a hot spell (yes, this is north west Europe), I will put standard lagers, and some white wines, (the sort of easy drinking white wines that go well with summer, nothing too complex) into the fridge before serving them. Not otherwise.
