They are both good. The Coffee Porter is like drinking iced coffee, pretty nuts. The London Porter is a good example of an old style porter and drinks somewhat like a modern day brown ale.

If they have it, get the Meantime IPA. It is the best of the 3 IMO. :thumbs:

Like Jonas said, the London Porter is much better than the Coffee Porter. I've yet to have the IPA, so I'll have to be on the lookout.

Haven't seen the IPA anywhere around here but I'm not big on hoppy drinks as IPA's tend to be. If its true that the coffee porter drinks like iced coffee, I'll have to pick some up. Good call btw on the Val Dieu Grand Cru of the Emperor. I got a 2007 from Whole Foods and it was mighty tasty.

Do you mean the Gouden Carolus Gran Cru or did I recommend the Val Dieu as well?

I hear what you are saying about hoppy beers and the thing about English style's is that they are much different and far more understated then American brews. The English IPA's seem to be a more balanced version with less hop kick and more robust malts. Their barleywines are also much different and in fact are my favorite of the style. That 98' JW Lees Harvest Ale Jonesy picked up is one of the best beers I have ever tasted.

I meant the Golden Carolus. I was able to pick that up at Whole Foods. I do have a bottle of Val Dieu Grand Cru but I haven't cracked that one open yet.

Yep, soon your beer budget (or lack thereof) will equal your cigar budget. Scary thought eh?

To the left, yea, it looks like it, but I can't place the one on the right or the one behind the Unibroue Terrible. Also can't tell what between the Delirium and St Bernardus Christmas Ale.

Tell you guys what ... the first person to name the one on the door between the St Bernardus Christmas Ale and the Delirium Noel will get a stocking stuffer, 1 guess only no edits.

Edit: Added picture

This is worse than Stinki's guess what I'm smoking posts....That's a total shot in the dark...no way to tell...in other words, give us a hint.

If no one can guess it right tonight then I will add a clue and 1 new guess will be allowed :thumbs:

Don't all Unibroue's have a silver cap? This looks like a darker cap than the regular Unibroue's.

You're probably right. I don't pay that close of attention to the color of the baskets I guess.

Val Dieu Grand Cru, is that the bottle between the Delirium and Christmas Ale?
