So I got Delirium Tremors on the advice of the Whole Foods self described "Beer Guru" -literally, a plaque with his name and photo on it said so. But in looking up the beer online, I see no tell of it being a "Trippel" even though he said it was the standard bearer for this class of beer.

I have no time to procure another bottle. I'm super bummed.

Maybe I can talk the wife in to putting the kids to bed solo so I can go get a Tripel and then ditch her all night to hang out with my internet friends and get drunk.

"What's that hell? You show no signs of freezing over any time soon."

Edit: I stand reassured that the beer guru did not steer me wrong. He's earned his title: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huyghe_Brewery

Oh, DT is definitely a tripel and has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Golden Monkey by Victory brewing is a bit similar.

omg, just reviewed the reviews on the DTs. The beer vocabulary is enormous. I feel so inadequate.

The size of a man's vocabulary has always been important to me. I didn't even realize the dimensions of a beer vocabulary!
