Vince, you missed Westmalle? They have double (dark) and triple. You can also mix them 50/50. Westmalle is my standard: when it's more expensive then Westmalle it should be better... don't know how many different beers we have here in Belgium, might be close to 1000, but it's rare I discover one that meets all my standard demands...

…they must be extremely good beers mate. The Trappist Westvleteren 12 (dark) (10.2 vol.% Alc.) (€52,00) is a little expensive. The price of €52 computes out to AUD$89 and US$59 for 24 bottles, which is AUD$3.70 and US$2.45 a bottle…quite reasonable for a beer, especially a good beer.

I like this idea, “The sale of the beer is not for commercial purposes and is available only to individuals who have registered in advance.” This stops a middle man adding a large profit for him. Strange that you can only pick up at certain times, and have to provide the registration number of the vehicle you will be driving. I assume this is to stop businesses from “stocking up” and reselling at inflated prices?
