This is Overtone's first alcohol free and it's bloody great. I'm back on the NA stuff for a wee while and my experiences so far have mostly been underwhelming. That looks interesting- where did you find it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good selection of AF beers in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then some more standard JD+Coke, with added branded stirrer. Freeway cola, you know how to live! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To those of us with a more modest income and a more unrefined palette than yourself, it tastes almost as good. Or rather for 4x the price, The Real Thing doesn't taste 4x as good. 5 hours ago, jimbaxters said: I was more freaked by the amount of Bailey's in that glass If you're gonna finish the bottle (which I did) is there any point pouring less or using a smaller glass? You'd probably be just as freaked by the amount of JD in the smaller glass lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried it personally but if it's a sickly sweet as the original version then you've some stomach on you.

That one was a limited edition, tasted a lot like the original and then in the aftertaste there was just the hint of icecream and a whiff of the chocolate. I do have a massive sweet tooth for a lot of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably your recommended calorie intake in 1 bottle. Never mind the units of alcohol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Evil Twin x Other Half triple IPA. Really good, but mostly drinking it as I need to sleep, so at 10%, it should hit me hard enough that my brain decides it’s bedtime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 There was talk of this monstrosity in another thread recently and the fact nobody here drank it and it’s rarely seen in bottle shops. Well lo and behold it has returned. Despite the guy at the checkout asking if I was sure I really wanted it in the interests of whatever I decided to buy it to see if it’s as crap as I remember. Not to worry though I have some Prancing Pony India Red Ale to wash it down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes in enormous dog food size cans, which you can generally get for $3.50ish a go, but I've never been brave enough (pic sourced from Google). The stuff here is brewed in Fort Worth, but that's the same even for the lager (never been forgetful enough of having that one in Scotland to go again; godspeed your good self).
