Finally managed to get to an Aldi this AM (our 'local' one is an hour away in Boston and a pain to get to) in Rugby, while visiting family.
Found the Amarone label on the rack.... but NONE LEFT!!

Also, If I'd known about the Gauloise at that point I'd have snagged some while there.
Bad day....

Finally got into Lidl this morning and picked up a couple of packs of Gauloise.
Not tried it yet as I had one or two too many Pale Riders this afternoon and I'm at work in the morning. Boo...
However, I'll definitely be slurping one or two tomorrow evening.
Cheers!

Nice one, Steve. Let me know if you enjoy it. If you like Leffe, and strong-ish Belgian beers of that ilk, it should hit the spot nicely

I LOVE beers of that type. I'm like a kid in a toyshop in the average Belgian bar
