Yeah, pretty sure cat wizz tastes alright if it's cold enough.

7.5% sounds interesting i did wonder if it was a leffe brune or grimbergen knock off but a bit stronger

This is a different style of beer, albeit similar but I'd say this is more complex. Its made by the folks that make Gulden Draak so thats good enough for me, I've only had it the once myself but I remember it being decent so will definitely pick some up.

Lovely beer, don't think I've ever seen it the UK before.

Van steenbergeh brewery. Nice.

Agreed. That sounds an abomination. Belgian beer, other than Stella, Jupiler and other pilsner styles, is meant to be served lightly chilled at most otherwise the flavours are completely killed.
