Trappist Rochefort, but they all taste different.

Be careful with the trappist beer, a lot stronger than it tastes.

Kevevs,
I'm suitably impressed, if I wake up dead tomorrow I'll humbly accept "I told you so's" from the naysayers but in reality I think I'll survive. Back on the brun now, it's def much better! Cheers!

Never rated the Leffe beers much - bar the Radieuse. There are so many nice Belgian beers but expensive here. Well worth visiting Belgium for the beers.

I find all the Leffes a bit cloying and treacle-y. Not really looking for such a hit of sweetness in a beer. Seem to taste a bit better on draught though, out of that swanky big glass.
Mind you, Carlsberg is at the opposite end of the beer taste spectrum, having very little other than a metallic chemical twang of an aftertaste. It Its stablemate, Tuborg, just shades it as the worst of the cooking lagers.
You should give a few wheat beers a go - something of a happy medium between the two, more refreshing than a lot of ales and not too sweet:
Weihenstephan
Schneiderweisse
Franziskaner
Erdinger
Erdinger Dunkel
HoegaardenAll available from most big supermarkets.

Well I reckon 10 tins of Carlsberg, half a bottle of white, a bottle of red and dancing about like a fanny to The Prodigy is a good night!

nickf- sort out your anger management issues before you come back please, judging other people must get tiring.
Coming from the man who so wittily told me to f*** off, that's a bit of a kettle-pot-black situation, don't you think?
I'm not remotely angry at the OP - as I said, his body, his choice. But if anyone thinks that "safe" drinking is the equivalent of a half bottle of spirits in a sitting, maybe they should know a few facts, think about it a little. After that, fair enough, blitz yourself.
Why do I give even a mouse-sized crap? I had relatives who had the same attitude and it didn't work out too well for them.

I was only joking, nickf.
You took it the wrong way, just like my user name. Believe it or not, I am not actually the 1970's glam rock star who wrote the greatest Christmas song of all time, nor his alter ego, the child molester. Why do you care, like you say? Are you the Jesus of the forum, sent down to educate the heathens about the sin of having a drink on a Friday night? Self righteousness is a wonderful trait. I wish I could look down my nose as well as you. If you can't realise you are coming across as an unnecessarily sanctimonious arsehole on here, then not even God can help you.

Get brewing your own mate. It's the best hobby you can have, after riding your bike of course.

Another one for homebrew here, not had many complaints about mine.
Posted 3 months ago # -
+1 homebrew. Just spent 90 minutes boiling 25litres of wort & hops. no cooler yet so I'll have to leave it overnight before I can strain the wort off into a Fermentation Bin & pitch the yeast...
But in 2 weeks I'll have 20 litres of Old Heckled Spen to go with the 20 litres of Thickstons Best Bitter I brewed a few weeks ago, and the remains of 20 litres of Something Peculier that I brewed just after christmas...
