Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Today's haul.
Torrside X Mashtun & Meow, Power Stance. Some tasting reviews have "notes of hospital". I'm guessing this will be peaty phenols, something I'm keen on in whiskies, so felt it worth a punt.
Little Critters, C'monster.
Left Handed Giant, Deeper Water. Salted caramel milk stout.

Time for another Trans-Pennine Beer Relay, @rhb?

So damn good, had one of those last week!

Also had a Laphroaig barrel aged version in the Stormbird a year or so ago, quite possibly my favourite beer ever.

And they also come in cans these days too!

Excellent bivvy beer that one, slimline cans fit very nicely in the frame bag.

Can be made into superlight hobo stoves too!

Win/win.

Unexpected gem in SE London, Eltham Wines on Well Hall Road got a big selection at good prices as well as Trappist glassware etc.

This is delicious, lovely raspberry dark sour

One of the things that I love about living here is that this is the selection at my local supermarket

Clearly not a supermarket visited by hippy lately.

I mute all the breweries I follow on twitter and unfollow this thread to try and discourage my drinking a little bit. But now it's 10 months of winter again...

I'm back!

(funny, that the last comment actually mentions me but it was only after revisiting the coffee thread I remembered this one)

Omnipollo Selassie

Mills' first Spontaneous beer is on par with its Belgian counterparts. Absolutely stunning.

For when you fancy a whisky but don't want to mix your drinks

I need that in my life/mouth.

Have you considered emigrating somewhere warm, like Australia?

I had been wondering why there was so much stock everywhere. Now it'll be more like:
