Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Took this as a recommendation & picked up a couple. They were excellent. Ta!

Cracked this one as a reward for walking the dog and conversing with a smackhead about last night's West Ham performance.

Vocation X Kirkstall No.666
Imperial Stout
Blended with coffee, but it's remarkably sweet, considering it's not specifically a dessert stout.
Fucking ludicrous 10.9% too.

Usually can't go wrong with Deya!

I picked up some German beers at the weekend, either my tastebuds have been ravaged by covid or this one has a bacon aftertaste. I’m not drinking any more of it until the burger comes off the grill, it should pair nicely.

It's brewed with smoked malt, you haven't got covid 😂

I love that beer, but smoked beers are certainly an acquired taste

This'd be a decent bike ride... say Chenai to Ventspils, about 8,400km. Port(er) to Port(er).

Porteur bars & rack mandatory.

^ the IDP is lovely.

Tha Baltic is great, I've not actually seen the Mosaic/Sabro IDP, will have to ride over there next week!

Baltic is next to complete my journey!

The IDP has a nice hoppy twang, as would be expected.

Had their lighter one yesterday. Not smoked but lagered in the barrels of them. Kind of strange, took half the bottle to really taste the smoke

Got a whole load of German beer from beersniffers as into them atm , some
Kind of back to the source kind of trip after being fed up with over hopped, 7% £6 440ml cans.

Enjoyed them by and large, Augustiner is a great Munich brewery. This also was a fine lager.

Used to drink Neck Oil in pubs as a default, not sure I’d enjoy paying 5/6 quid a pint again for it.

Restock on the Kernels.

Tautarus Barley Wine, 13.2% also I've hopefully got their 17% on hold at the other shop of my preferred offy.

The Honeycomb is for now whilst I burn stuff at the allotment, it is very nice. Sweet in the spring sunshine.

A local beer too, looks like a good one

^^ looks great, might be hard to get though as there's max 199 left in the world...

198 @Cazakstan has had one too

Scored this as mentioned earlier. There's 2 more in the shop. I could cane this tonight and get another as a keeper at opening tomorrow or just save this one.. 17% feels like it should be a sharer though and I don't want a fuzzy head tomorrow really.
