Guest beers!! What on earth are they!?

The inestimably cool @oaldamster sent me some beer!!! All the way from Hamsterdam!!!

How amazing is that! Last week, we had chatted back and forth about the splendid looking beer he was drinking and he offered to send me some.

How could I refuse? Particularly after my rubbish beers.

And boom! What do you know? In no time it was here!

Once again. Thank you, mate! You lifted my spirits when they were a tad low!!

So in a departure from the usual harsh judging and penis related shenanigans, I am just going to drink these fine beauties and chill out!

This fits in splendidly with my plans because the Good Lady has booked us a wigwam for a few days in the bitter North.

And we leave in the morning.

Hurrah, sort of!

Look at the little beauties.

I will be drinking the quadruple first followed by the incredible sounding, whisky infused, Gouden Carolus!

I am under strict instructions from the Good Lady not to get wellied because we leave early for the wigwam.

She hasn't seen the alcohol strength of these two though. Ha!!

So, apologies for the lack of reviewing and swearing at the sky from the comfort of my garden.

It would be churlish not to savour and enjoy these two little chaps. Once again, @oaldamster, I salute you!!!

Cheers!

Greetings @meesterboom,

How very kind of your generous friend to send this refreshment your way.

Your title......splendid!

Your photographs.......delightful!

Here's wishing you and your good lady a lovely holiday! ^__^

Cheers!

It was indeed amazingly kind! I was very grateful and appreciative of the fine beers!!

Cheers lass! We are enjoying already!

Proost Mate!

It is my pleaure and you are very welcome!

Jaiks, bam going hangover upnorth to hangout in a Wigwam. It's gonna be fun, the kids will love it.

Hahaha, yes them brews are quite tough in the alcohol department. Having a La Trappe Q myself now. For some reason the Gouden Carolus is always gone first...

Curious about your experience with the Golden one.

A salute to you and have a great time with your family in the tipi!

Proooooost mate!!!!

That's funny you go for the Gouden Carolus first, I was totally like, oh the Whiskey!!! And left it till last.

The quadruple was a lovely beer, the smell was amazingly caramel and what a fizzer it was too. Really enjoyed it.

But now I'm on the Gouden Carolus and it takes stop much. I love whisky beers and it's a cracker!!!

This will prepare me nicely for a had about the frozen wastes up north!! :0)

Cheers dude!!

Normally I would go for the Carolus last too, but already had finished them last weekend. Had two of them, could not even finish the second one, hahaha. Kept the left-over in the fridge, no foam-head the other day, but it was almost like I had a small whisky the next evening. :-)

Glad you like them mate! Knew that when you like the I&G then this would be one to enjoy. With the GC I always have some "aaaaaawwww" experience after I had the last drop.

And in a tipi that close to the northpole one needs to be prepared properly!

Have a great one mate!

I can see me going awwww when it's finished. It's going down very nicely!!

I am looking forward to a bit of wild living for a few days!! Well, wilder than sitting about drinking beer at least!! I'm taking beer with me of course!

Very kind of Oald to send you some beers!

Hopefully it's not too chilly in the Wigwam :O

Not chilly oh no. Oh no, not at all. Wet however... Aye, it's fucking soaking!!

I had a job to do october last year, not far away from where the 'inestimably cool' @oaldamster lives.
We met after I had finished on a terrace and spoke a lot about several things for an hour or two (but actually way too short).
He's a great guy and it doesn't surprise me at all that he made a special effort to send you these fine "goodies".

Five days in a wigwam hey? That's some real shameless pampering of the Good Lady man ...
Cheers with the "firewater".

He is a top dog! I think I remember a post about that either by you or by him about him popping along to meet you, it might have been someone else. Not sure. He is a very cool dude!

I would like to dive over and meet him myself. And he has the coolest name ever!

I am about to start the whisky one now. I am so excited! The first was great but it is this one I have been getting all weeee about.

Would be great to have a meet n greet someday mate! Curious what you make of the whisky one.

I think it has a wee bit less body than the quadruple but the whisky glow is nice and balanced and make up for it. All in its a great beer!

And aye, if I'm over its on!!

The Q is a fine one too, absolutely, more 'oumph' beer like, I'd say, or as you stated: more body. To me the GC is a beautifull merge between beer and whisky, as if they were ment to be together. (My better half often giggles when she hears me describe a special brew, as if it were a fine wine.)

Looking forward to it!

Hehe, it is exactly like that though, a merging of two fine things!!!

When the good lady smells whisky or anything like it she makes a meh face.. lol!!

Hahaha, why the 'meh' face? Whisky has such a fine smell to it! 😁

Mèh, reminds me of a song by 'the Boegies' a funpunkband from where I live.

Ha! Smashing, meh in sheer song form and no other lyrics complicating things. :0D

He did a post about our meeting indeed.
Nothing planned yet but like to meet him again some day coming months.

Circle the wagons, Indians on the warpath! Oewoewoewoewoe!!!

Absolutely @smasssh!

Heheh, glad I remembered right!!

Get them wagons a circling and the guns oot!!!!

Thought you would at least grade them out of 10. When I find some really terrible ones I will send you a whole box that you will have to drink on camera. Safe travels and have fun in your tee pee.

Haha. If I did the whisky one world have been a winner!!

Enjoy the wigwam, whatever the fuck that is!

Hehe, I well. It's like what the Indians used back in the day apparently but made of wood!!

Enjoy your sojurn in the outer wilds, initally I forgot you were six months behind us, and looking out at the dark grey, about to rain, sky I thought you were B mad, Then I remembered you are Scottish, which alone explains it, and you are probably having bright blue sun filled days.
Try and smuggle a couple of bottles where the Good Lady wont notice, withdrawal can give funny symptoms

We have had a few blue skied days but not nearly enough. The weather forecast for the next few days is non stop reason. Lol. Fine tune to go live in a hut!

hahah what a cool gesture...

watch out with the quadrupel one because that is a real killer. You can buy them in 4packs in the supermarket which is like a ticket off of the earth.

What in my region sometimes is done is adding a drop of lemonade sirup. to this baby....trappist met which means trappist with..but some call us barbarian because of it ;)

I can totally imagine being called a barbarian by adding something to it. I wouldn't want anything in it but i don't think I could drink four of them. Danger town!!!

Oh good for you!!! You deserve a few days off with the Good Lady. It will be lovely, I'm sure! Enjoy your time as I know you are enjoying your gifts from afar lol

Hehe, I think I need it so am quite happy!! The beers are top DONK!!

Enjoy and have a wonderful time away

Cheers, I am enjoying very much!!
