Leffe: Vladimir's Beer Thread

[Peasant Phill]

on a side note, i just walked down to the local 'higher end' grocer, and spotted leffe blonde. i might go back and check it out.. but there was a rodenbach with my name on it. and that samuel smith's winter welcome ale is tempting as well.

Rodenbach is an excellent beer brewed in Roeselare just a few miles from my house (I even went to a wedding in the brewery). I used to drink it frequently.

If you like rodenbach, I recommend you also try 'Duchesse de Bourgogne' if you can find it.

The taste of dark sour beers is,unfortunately, lost on me. Like I said I used to enjoy a Rodenbach or a Duchesse regularly, but now I can't even smell one without feeling nauseous.
In my first years as a student in Ghent, I went to a huge student event. You would buy a glass (1/2 liter) and you could drink all night for free. The only drink you could get was Rodenbach, wich was fine by me. However, constantly drinking 1/2 liters of Rodenbach ad fundum (I was an 18 year old student, please forgive me :embarrassed: ) isn't good for once health.
To be short I got home and puked my guts out in the toilet and later in a pot I had next to my bed. The morning after I looked in the pot and all I could see was some sticky ink black residue.
Since that night i can't touch that sweet black nectar.
