lanky_ffc Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 1356184076[/url]' post='6913445']Almost stocked up for the festive period. Merry Christmas everyone: Fantastic selection, right up my street. 1356210288[/url]' post='6914466']I'm drinking Samuel smiths chocolate stout again. Seriously, if you like this kind of thing, get some bought. It's blooming lovely. Got this mixed case of Sam Adams to split with my dad and that was probably my favourite. Lovely rich aftertaste of cocoa. White Christmas was a close second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the States at the moment so it's pretty widely available - got it at Walmart and they also had it in the other supermarket we visited. Not sure where you would get it back home but I'll be finding out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 See that's intresting, I work in a Samuel Smiths pub and we just started doing the Chocolate Stout, can't say I'm a fan though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Whereabouts? Quite fancy trying it on tap. Cramond, it's not on tap and I don't think it ever will be, it's just the 500ml bottles we do. Albeit we have most of the bottled beers and ales. Plus the stuff on taps all excellent, £2.04 for a pint of too quality bitter is a bonus too. Although if that's too expensive you can get a pint of Dark ale for £1.54.

Derek Patterson Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 That's cracking value actually. Don't think I've actually had any Sam Smiths stuff on tap. Quite like the oatmeal stout too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Mmmmm Old Jock. The beer, I mean. Not my uncle. Cos I don't have an Uncle Jock. But if I did I still wouldn't mean him. Oh f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lau03143 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 For Christmas, the inlaws got me this book! After getting this book yesterday, I went out and bought these to make a start. I've already tried 32 or 33 of the ones in the book. The only new one for me is the Guinness Foreign Extra that I bought today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
)typically Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) After getting this book yesterday, I went out and bought these to make a start. I've already tried 32 or 33 of the ones in the book. The only new one for me is the Guinness Foreign Extra that I bought today. Guinness Foreign Extra is lovely. I think its 7.5% so significantly stronger and more flavoursome than regular guinness. ETA: Derek Paterson was asking about Dark Island. I had a bottle on Christmas day and it was the same as it has always been as far as I could tell.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Just found out today there is a beer shop in Inverness. Why have I only just found out about this!? They seem to have a decent range of beers. I will hopefully get a chance to head there before New Year to pick up a few of the ones recommended on this thread. http://www.yourround...op/IV2-3EA.aspx *edit* I picked up these 4 for just over a fiver from Lidl the other day. I'm sure they won't be spectacular, but you can't really go wrong for that price. Edited December 26, 2012 by Sherrif John Bunnell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hob is a dependable dark ale and Wychcraft is a nice refreshing pale one which would be good paired with a curry. Have had the other 2 at some point but can't remember anything about them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you still got bottles from when Sainsburys had it or did you get more? Sure I've got 1 bottle left at the missus' house but don't know if there's anywhere to get more now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'm just watching Jamie and Jimmy's food fight on channel 4 and the episode had opened with a look at ales. Thought some of you might fancy a look. Is there a Channel 4+1? If so, it'll be on there at 9. Otherwise, it'll be on 4od I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
