All of Omnipollos beers can get in the bin as far I'm concerned

Which BA imperial stout goes will with microwave curry? Asking for a friend.

Amurga surely.

Black butter vanilla volcano salt mocha maple white chocolate ganche.

Just pour it on top.

I think I'll have a coffee.

Everyone has different tastes & I really wanted it to be good. I hope you find it more agreeable.

We'll see, I usually enjoy their big stouts but it's always a punt. I'll take to out of the fridge and have at room temp.

Fuck that.

I just want a stout to be a stout (or a porter in some cases I guess?).

Fucking dessert stouts?

When is a stout not a stout?

Currently Drinking: Beatnik Sticky Toffee Pudding Stout

I started hours ago. I'm cheating though by tipping most of my BA Ten Ton Truck on the floor. Feet + coffee table + stupid xmas placemat thing = beer crash. #setfiretosanta

I had to drive to Lincoln first.

What a shit show every road was. Surprised I didn't die tbh. Mad driving skills needed.

I was on family taxi duty tonight so only after that was done could I open this to wrap gifts by.

Picked up a couple more Imperials to help me move on from the Yule Cake... New Holland Dragons Milk & the Cloudwater(!) / Kees Tall Tree. That's me done buying until after Xmas now I reckon.

Got through a few of the EFP advent cal tonight, plus some local sours.

Tiramisu Crew
Ten Ton Truck Vietnamese Coffee
Anarchist Alchemist
Christmas Pudding
Beatnik Sticky Toffee

Had the Ten Ton Truck at the ShepsBush Brewdog Wests back in the (late?) Summer.
Most longlived coffee flavour I've experienced.

The Vietnamese Coffee version? They have a few others but this one is such heavy duty coffee.

Of that lot the best were the 16.5% Anarchist and the maybe 10% Tiramisu.

The Vietnamese Coffee version

Yep, that was the one.
1/3 pint, served in something closer to a wine glass.

Teku glass normally

Took a trip to Kernel this morning for Xmas beers, got the last BIPA they had 😩

Such good value buying from them direct.

Particularly looking forward to this, bottled in 2014 as I'm useless at ageing beers myself.

Sweet jesus

Did you shake 'em around much? You might wanna let them settle a bit.

Got a bottle of that Hedge Row blend this afternoon. It's gorgeous. Almost scrumpy like in its tartness. Also had a Ampersand Cranberry & Himalayan salt gose which was much less interesting. I'm going to go back and get more from The Little Earth Project for Christmas.
