It was spicier than I'm used to in a Belgian style, but after about 30 minutes or so it had mellowed considerably and was quite good. As I finished the glass, I decided that I'd buy it again.

Jester King, I've not tried. If that's the brewery I'm thinking of...their bottles kind of creep me out.

Yeah that's the one. They're sort of an American Mikkeller. Check out Noble King and Wytchmaker.

...And their bottles still creep me out. I'm afraid they'll start harassing the trappist beers in the fridge when the door is closed. No thanks.

So, speaking of...last night I had a bomber of Chimay blanc and disliked it intensely. Then a bottle of Trappiste Rochefort and that was much better by comparison but still not nearly as enjoyable as the Westmalle of a few nights back.

Westmalle Tripel is my favorite aswell

Chimay Cinq is horribly overrated. Blue and red are the only ones worth while.

My girlfriend was at a chicago Whole Foods and they had some hopslam so she bought me some.

She said there were like 3 packs left. Some guy took one as soon as she moved out of the way of the shelf and the other one was gone when she walked by later.

While this year's hopslam is still a tasty beer, I don't think the 2012 or 2013 batches compares to 2011. I had some of the 2011 batch on tap at the rocking horse in logan square a few years ago and thought it was some of the best tasting beer I have ever had. Think I would take a Zombie Dust over hosplam, at least right now.

I thought it was good, but definitely not worth $18...

The Publican (normally I'd say **** that place, but it was for a friend's birthday) had $5 zombie dust on tap last weekend. Hard to go wrong when the cheapest beer on tap is zombie dust.

Lagunitas Sucks is so good

Going to a raffle for it in Merrillville in a minute, so they must be shipping to IN

 

[texas_jack]

Ended up getting 2 bottles. Better than none.

Had one last night. Wish I kept them all for myself.
