Havent really explored Belgian beer much so trying to make a conscious effort to seek it out. Very pleased with this one. Belgian beers are lethal. I've just had 2 of the leffe bruins. Lovely stuff though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellDel Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Had a mixed selection of craft beers and real ales I picked up in Morrisons last night. Couple of IPA's and nice porters. Back to basics tonight. Stella. Lots and lots of Stella. (with a couple of single malts thrown in). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a couple of pints of Paulaner Oktoberfest tonight. Superb. Tonight I went for a pale ale from Polly's Brew Co called "Simply the Manifest". It is superb. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I had a "treacle toffee" stout earlier. If it hadn't been £4.10 a pint It would be a very grim morning... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head banger stuff One of the Chimays is mental as well, is it the blue? About 9% IIRC. Czech beer has its own scale, 10° is about 4% abv, 12° about 5%. those are the normal strengths you'll get with draught beer but I remember one of the times I was in Prague I got a bottle of Primator 16° which is about 7.5% 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as good as the 10 but still not bad for a NAS I’ve had a bottle of that 90% full on the shelf for over 3 years now. Think it’s pretty rotten in all honesty and have been close to chucking it a few times. Keeping it solely for slightly smoky whisky cocktails now tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a Belgian beer called Trappistes Rochefort once, it weighed in at around 11% but had a sweet, caramel like flavour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are undeniably handy also to stop her making toddies out out of 21 year Glendronachs and the like 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
