    And during all that you were driving !!!!!
    Now how about rating them all on 100 point scale for taste, aroma, appearance, etc. and price would be nice. I'll give you 1 month to finish.

    The idea to keep a log came up last minute so it's maybe not as complete as it should be. I made comments on some but not all. Price would have been an easy one to do. Generally, they were €2-€5 each I think.
    Our favorites were the ones we brought home. Here are the top ones in my mind right now:
    Hanssens Oude Kriek - A sour cherry kreik. The best one we found. (Available in the US.)
    Ellezelloise Hercule Stout - Named after Agatha Christie’s Detective Hercule Poirrot. A full bodied imperial stout full of chocolate and roasted flavors with a hint of sweetness. (Available in the US)
    Rodenbach Grand Cru - A sour ale. Aged in Oak barrels for a couple years. (Not available in the US that I know of)
    Van Ecke Kappitel Prior- Great caramel taste without being cloying. I can't wait to drink the bottles of this we brought home. I haven't found it in the US yet, but I have high hopes.
