Got this as a secret santa gift too, most pleased...

Did you open it? After half the bottle I missed the second half of Home Alone 2.

I’m refreshed from my nap, having a Kriek Mariage Parfait 2016 & then going to see how the second half goes

Some good drinks knocking about. I'm only just home from driving duties so rather than crack a 660ml Imperial (8.4units) having a small can 3.6u/11%) instead. Gifted a few more beers today too.

Very pleased with my stocking fillers this morning (plus a couple of issues of Wild Walk). Accidentally dun both before lunch, but hey it’s Christmas.

How was the Bearded Lady? Common Grounds is a dependable choice for me for low ABV stout on the regular.

No held strong, I had a bunch of the Belgian Christmas beers so worked through those instead

Something light to kick off boxing day!

How was the Bearded Lady?

It was very good, subtle flavours in comparison to the BABS I had a few days back but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Good to hear. I tend to find lots of the gangbusters 10%+ imperials a bit samey; the sheer strength of it in general tends to override the subtle flavours.

I'll put it on the list!

The "typical" flavour is what I really enjoy - although I tend to like most of the other ones too...

Something lighter this evening though.

Also on the pink elephant beers. Delirium Christmas edition for me, 10% and pokey.

This is great

Jealous! I'm going to the Buxton tap room asap.

Digging out some of the rarer bottles from the stash. Dryer and Brettier than I'd expected, but rather good. May now have to seek out Marble's current Old Ale offerings...

Woof. Best I've had in a while; real cherry flavour and a pleasant sourness to it. Gonna feel it tomorrow though!

Enjoying this. The Islay barrel isn't overpowering things in terms of taste, but adds a nice dryness to things. Drinks easier than you'd expect from 750ml of 8.5%.

Sounds right up my street. 12%! Cripes

^^^ yeah, that looks banging.

Enjoy, I miss my trips there.

Last of the big 3 tonight. Scotch Barrel Aged...

^ warming.

Oiii love it. That's some night night juice.

Christ! How are you feeling today?

The pastry stouts from Three Hills have been excellent ...

(I've clearly reached the part of lockdown where I'm normalising a £9 can of beer)
