Message JulienHuxley P beers 6219 º places 450 º 19:40 Tue 11/7/2017 Heated? Quelque chose is the only one I had, I enjoyed the experience but haven't bothered repeating it. High room temp? I will drink a stout off the shelf with no issues normally.
Message fiulijn P beers 28351 º places 745 º 22:36 Tue 11/7/2017 I had the beer cold and warmed, my preference was clearly for cold: https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/unibroue-quelque-chose/1924/1786/ In general, I have no desire for room temperature beer, although I like to sip on a cool barley wine as it slowly warms up.
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 23:01 Tue 11/7/2017 I've had the mulled quelque chose and I liked it. To be honest, I don't mind Bigfoot at room temperature.

Originally posted by JK Originally posted by DCLawyer BFM La Dragonne This seems to very much love or hate it beer. I have not seen in for awhile, I wonder if it should be retired. I ticked it last christmas, and about 3 months ago, a Munich bottle shop added it to their range, so no. Definitely not retired yet. But the last ratings from the US seem to come from 2014.

Message SilkTork P beers 7750 º places 111 º 05:27 Wed 11/8/2017 Cold temperature and carbonation aid refreshment. Warm temperature and no carbonation aid flavour. If I'm simply thirsty I'll happily drink a cool (not cold) lager or pale ale. Hopefully not too carbonated, but a little fizz can be attractive. For thirst quenching I like those fruit flavoured ciders straight from the fridge. Great fun. If I want flavour, then it's room temperature. None of my beers go in the fridge. Not even lagers. But it's each to their own. I've not tried a warmed up beer - ie, a beer higher than the ambient room temperature. I'm wondering what the advantage would be? I sometimes drink coffee that has cooled down, and I find that room temperature coffee tends to have more flavour than warm/hot coffee. But I like the associations and comfort I get from the warmth of a coffee, so prefer to drink it warm. I suppose a warmed up beer can offer the same comforts as a warm coffee or hot chocolate. There is already the comfort from the warmth of the alcohol in a strong beer, which we traditionally drink when the weather turns cold. But warming up the beer sounds interesting. I'll give it a go.
Message rhoihessegold beers 6641 º places 417 º 06:44 Wed 11/8/2017 We did a "Glühwein", so a mulled wine with a Doppelbock, added some spices and it was quite okay, better than many of the shitty Glühwein served on german Christmas markets.
Message rhoihessegold beers 6641 º places 417 º 08:03 Wed 11/8/2017 Facebook just showed me a post from Schneider Weisse from yesterday about Glühbier! Got to: https://schneider-weisse.de/schneider-blog And look for the article: Sommelierwissen: Wie man sich für Glühbier erwärmt... It is in German but the recipe should be easy to translate. They also wanna sell their own spice mix in the shop.
