I don't really drink beer that often, but, after writing a story about a Trappist brewery, I decided to buy two bottles of Rochefort 6 [which RationalWiki seems to believe is the best beer on the market] at Whole Foods ($6 for an 11 oz. bottle). Only this Sunday, after over a month in the fridge, did I bother to actually drink it. I took a shot's worth. It looked amazing, and by the time I put it in my mouth, it gave a lot of contradictory feelings. I hated to taste it in my mouth, but by the time I got it down, I loved the aftertaste. I can't expect to become a regular drinker, but I have no real complaints about it.

Yanking your chain, dude. Stella is high quality stuff, as far as the style goes. Just not my thing.

Rochefort is some advanced stuff. A lot of Trappist / Abbey ales are an acquired taste.

Just tried a Fosters for the first time today. Tastes just like Budweiser, not impressed.
Good enough alcohol content though :p

I think the Aussies are so unimpressed with Fosters that the send it all to us.
In the high alcohol department, I'll take a Scottish strong ale or Belgian Tripel. 8-9% ABV goes straight to my head.

Just so you know, no-one in Australia drinks it.
We're more likely to be drinking Heinekein or Stella Artois etc.

BLASPHEMER,
Ok, but try a frosted mug with half Yingling and half Fosters. You might like it, even if just for the extra kick the Yingling gives you.

Isn't "Fosters" Australian for "piss"?
