Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

Pretty good this, bit softer tasting than Karmeliet and tastes nothing like 9.0%. Danger.

Does it taste of pineapple?

A bit, more of bacon.

On reflection, I wouldn't have more than two

tastes nothing like 9.0%. Danger.

I'm having a similar experience with this:

Thornbridge x Saint Mars Of The Desert – Secret World – Belgian Quad/Dark Ale, 10%

Which LBS is that? Not Heaton Hops by any chance?

Not mine, it was just a useful pic on Google image search.

All goooooooood.

Is it any good? Got one stored iirc.

It's wonderful, goes down very smoothly

Great to hear. Now wondering if I already drank mine last Christmas...

I had the Sweet Temptation last night. First mouthful it tasted amazing but got more disappointing the more I drank. Seemed a bit thin, needed to be a bit stronger or creamier maybe.

Got this in the Brew by Numbers monthly box. Does taste a lot like a solero

This is very tropical tasting. Would drink again

Ah, I'll see tomorrow night.

The Pompelmocello is lovely.

Cracked open the Northern Monk Spirit of Death (distilled imperial stout, spirit more than beer at 41%)

Fucking grim.
Smells pretty bad, tastes nothing like stout
Main flavour I get burnt rubber.

I had their DIPA last night. Liked it. Mate brought me some cans back from Devon or Cornwall or whatever the fuck that end of the country is called.

New to me. Enjoyed this.

Lovely stuff that

There's also a new Westmalle. Some lower ABV brew that you could only get from the monkz now on general sale or someting

I should've bought two as I gave it away without trying one.

You're the second person I've heard say this. Sounds horrid.

Their IPAs are amazing. They’re based in Brighton.

I think I read Lewes. The other one I had off them (them being my mate not the Beak guys) was Beast of Bodmin, a red ale.
