pretty much tastes like really sweet wine. this one was purchased by the girlfriend swearing "it's the only beer i like" then not drinking it. this is the raspberry flavor and is pretty much liquorice in liquid form with a very thing head

[keltoi]

tonight i will be mostly drinking....

 

 

as well as polishing off my last 2 keltoi pale ales

[ghOsty]

Founder's porter is good stuff, the Breakfast Stout is awesome as well...

This shit right here was fucking delicious... and the bottle is pretty badass I saved it on a shelf. 2013 Surly Darkness

Founders centennial ipa is a favourite of mine and I like the breakfast stout alot. In fact I've not had anything I don't like from founders yet.

 

That lable IS cool!

newcastle cabbie: newcastle doing a darker (read as black) ale. kinda like really light liquorice but not as sweet and pretty much like the regular dog.

 

does it's job so no complaints over here

I need to go pick up some beers tomorrow... I'll report back with whatever I end up buying, the shop I go to always has some decent seasonals.

just picked up my brew from a microbrewery in town, just in time for festivities. Belgian Dubbel mmmmmmmm

[ghOsty]

this stuff is delicious... not overly sweet either, goes down pretty light for a stout, but it has all the flavor.

had some norweigan smoked ale yesterday that was brilliant, from haandbryggeriat.

 

can't find a picture of it to post, but if you ever see anything by that brewery you MUST try it. Especially Odins Tipple if you like stouts.

I recommend The Kernel brewery IPAs etc. Quite pricey (anything from £4.50 to £7.00) but well worth it.

Stopped by the Central Waters brewery on the way to my 97-year old cousin Maynard's house a few days ago and purchased a 4-pack of this bourbon barrel stout. It was pretty strong, but once I allowed it to warm-up, it really was delicious for being nearly 10%.

You say high % like it's a bad thing! I love some incredibly strong beers, especially stouts with an oak finish. They finish like a nice whisky with all kinds of aromatics.

 

I think one of my favorite was a mikeller stout that was around 20% abv...

omg trappist west vleteren that's the best beer on earth wtf!!

[Hugh Mughnus]

It's great beer for sure. I wouldn't say it's nearly the best though. Matter of taste isn't it?

 

I much prefer the chimay anniversary trappist ale to that, among a plethora of other (other than trappist that is) varieties.. =/

Beerland is best land!

 

I'd probably be pushing 300 pounds if I lived in Belgium, though.

Ha yeah, apparently.

 

Got them, purely by chance, in Kris Wines too. Had no idea what they were.

There was this wooden crate in there with unlabelled bottles and I noticed when I was browsing that people kept coming in, waiting by the door, and the owner would grab a few bottles from the crate and the guys would pay and leave.

 

I asked what they were as I was paying for my choices and got the whole 'best beer in the world' schtick. He also said that he'd only had the crate 4 hours and they'd be gone soon.

How could I resist?

 

I haven't opened them yet as I need to practice getting the caps off without damaging them. That's something else the owner told me. After you've drank'em, you can make your money back putting the caps and empty bottles on Ebay.

 

At first I was incredulous. Alright dude, I'm already buying them. Enough of the sales patter.

But sure enough, I checked ebay and it's true :|

Shit's crazy. Totally gonna give it a go though lol.

Makes me cry

 

[jeremymacgregor87]

That looks terrible

[Guest disparaissant]

Haha I've had that stuff. Unibroue also made the only mead I ever really liked. Mjöd. Great stuff.

[ghOsty]

Unibroue is a damn good brewery all around, I got a pretty cool Maudite beer glass from them last year with a sampler pack. Looks like this...
