What a coincidence!!!! we drank a bottle of this tonight and my wife Kristin reviewed it on the Beers Of Europe website. What a fantastic beer. Can also recommend the Kloster Scheyern Doppelbock which we had the other day

Coincidence indeed - and it's taken over from Schneider Weisse Aventinus Eisbock as my favourite German tipple. We have 2 bottles of the Scheyern Doppelbock - will try one tomorrow. Beers of Europe have become my 'go to' site for German and Belgian beers since the thing which cannot be mentioned here (oh, and for Tynt Meadow - it's cheaper from there than buying directly from the Monastery).

Will look out for the Eisbock. We had a mixed German Christmas beer selection which included Nordbrau Ingolstadt Eisbock that we liked. Also have a bottle of Kulmbacher Eisbock waiting to be sampled.

Eddie, they have Tynt Meadow in stock according to their website!

Is this the magical potion you were on about, or is it a "lesser brew" so to speak?

It is indeed the magical Leicestershire Trappist holy water.

Just a few pence over £60 for 24 bottles and free delivery. I got a box a couple of weeks ago, so I'm sorted at the moment. We usually have 3 orders a month from BoE - a box of (mainly) German for the missus, a box for me and 15 or 16 75 cl bottles for afternoon sharing.

I did a 'short and sweet' review last year...

Quote

A deep brown, rich, absolute belter of a beer, malty with toffee/chocolate notes. This beer has grown on me over the last two years. Leave some for me

It certainly has grown on me - the beer has improved by leaps and bounds since they started the brewery at the monastery in 2017 or 2018, and it is truly worthy of the Trappist badge and is, in my opinion, world class. I would place it as the equal of Westmalle Dubbel or Chimay Blue. Not in Westvleteren class yet, but what else is (apart from possibly St Bernardus Abt 12 or Rochefort 10).

I wonder what it is going to be like nipping over to Belgium and bringing stuff back?

Anybody heard how strict they are being on personal stuff?

Just checked. The official limit is 42 litres per person. So 126 bottles. 

I'd better tell my tee total lad he is coming to Belgium with me this Autumn.
