Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Is it a head (mis-)pouring competition on here today?

It’s just how it naturally gloops out of the can

Grim. I'd definitely not want one.

Now it's Christmas

I know it's an utterly unoriginal thing to say but Stille Nacht is a fucking delicious beer.

I drank my Stille Nacht whilst beating my family at Monopoly Deal, what a day.

winning all round. Merry Xmas Caz

Had a few pastry stouts this week, mostly forgettable but this one did exactly what it said it would

Põhjala X Sureshot. Like being gently smothered by a gateau. Lovely.

The only interesting beer I've had this Christmas - bought two so cracked one.

Currently smothering oneself in gateaux. Best stout of the winter hands down

Another one from the archives.

Not getting oak or vanilla, very punchy.

That Cantillon aged in cognac barrels is bloody marvellous stuff.

I have that in the fridge. Good?

Yes - nice ! I mean , obviously doesn’t really taste of donuts , just sweet … tasty though - I think they’ve done a few collaborations with Siren on their chocolate stouts range …. I bought the caramel one as well … because …. Tunnocks !

Yeah, it was the first one we had and I'm glad my tastebuds hadn't been adulterated by the others. More subtle carbonation and less aggressive sourness than the 3 Fonteinen bottles (both of which were also very good). The Italian abbey beer was a bit sledgehammer, but it didn't matter by that point.
