Second time drinking a beer featuring the Vic Secret hop and they've both been excellent Had the Jute from them a couple of weeks ago and thought it was alright, but nothing special. That looks excellent though to be fair. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Tiny Rebel Shake Down just now. After a few Strongbows this tastes comparatively wonderful, but isn't anything overly good. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 This evening's offerings. Some recent Lidl offerings and a few from the cupboard. All nice enough but really liking the Winter Sunshine from Spey Valley. Ossian is a recent favourite and Midnight Sun was lovely with a Bowmore 12yo to finish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mini-keg idea can wait for now as I got a crate of dark Budvars delivered this afternoon. £32 for 20x500ml bottles will do very nicely indeed. Not had dark Budvar since Bratislava last October, but have loaded my Sub with a dark Krusovice torp and it will be ready in time for todays kick off. Re the mini-kegs, have had some which lasted well over 3-5 days (Paulaner - Hefeweisse, Hybrid - Stout) and others that were flat the second day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Final few beers before I rap it for a week or so. Kicking off with Fyne Ales Deep Spcae Echo. A bourbon barrel aged Inperial stout at 11.5%. Almost has the feel of a full bodied red wine. Maybe even thicker. Almost no carbonation, but the sweetness of the bourbon and the roasty flavours hide the ABV well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favourite time of year for a Guinness. However I'm 6 weeks in of not drinking, and planning going till the start of December, but have had 24 of these delivered for under a tenner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flensburger comes in a swingtop. Not seen Groslch in a while. Noticed some people prefer like a case of the same beer. Do you like having the same beer or a mix? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you had another four spare to put up with that farce this afternoon. A couple of the aforementioned dark Budvars this evening so far: didn't think that much of the ABK festbier or dunkel versions yesterday tbh, these are going down much better. A Ron Diplomatico Reserva to sip for now before moving onto a Cuba libre or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would award myself a pretty solid nose and taste for food, which leaves me wondering if drink taste notes are in fact, complete and total bullshit. Anyway, heres the second of the two I bought... This one I might be able to buy into. I does taste like an IPA that's a wee bit sour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
