I hope you sipped it slowly !

I can't imagine what a 17.2% beer is like, how would you describe it?

Only just opened it. Tastes like an IPA. On the sweetish side, bit of citrus and a piney finish. There’s deffo more of a hint of alcohol and I’m starting to get some burn.

Was writing a well considered review of some Wylam beers when Firefox crashed so here's a cut down version.

Jakehead IPA. Big tropical hop bomb. Contender for beer of the year.

The man behind the door. Another hoppy treat. Brewed as a one off though and I got the last can in the bar.

Hickey the Rake. More tropical hoppiness but this one overpowered by the other two. Would be a good session beer though.

Macchiato. Hazlenut praline coffee porter. Revolting - cold bitter black coffee. Instant heartburn.

Didn't realise the fermentation process could result in such a high alcohol content. Is it fortified with something?

No fortification or icing. There are quite a few yeast strains available these days that will get you well over 20%!

Is that all tactical nuclear penguin had, wasn't that about 30%?

For my 30th new beer of the month I had a pint of Camden Town Brewery's Pale. Not on a hand pump so a bit over-chilled and lively. It settled down nicely, though, and began to taste like a proper beer, with a fruitiness that brought the hop bitterness in well.

I reached my monthly target with my most confusing beer this year. When I ordered a pint of Adnams Little White Lies, described as a white chocolate porter, I was very confused when a glass of pale beer arrived. A rather good beer with such a light hint of chocolate that I thought I was imagining the taste. Now I'm home, of course, I went online to find out what was going on. ''The second point is that the first point is largely irrelevant, we did want the name to sound like a darker beer but actually look like a pale beer that tasted like a dark beer, hence the name ‘White Lies’.'' Adnams are playing silly buggers. Once you know, though, you'll know what's going on and it's a perfectly enjoyable drink, just a slight step up from a session beer.

Right, that's my 31st new beer of the month, and I'm going to drink whatever I please until Keguary starts. Heck, I'm even drinking red wine....

From yesterday, clockwise:

• Skadoosh 2nd Verse DIPA by Wild Weather Ales, an 11%'er and the best of the bunch.
• A pint of someone or other's best bitter with a 10 year old Benromach
• Deep Inside, forgettable but heavily discounted so what the hell
• The Cloudwater is Ekuanot wheat-beer; very good indeed
• Burning Sky Monolith; not cherry-y enough

Clearwater follows Cloudwater!

Somewhat malty and strong. Might try this one again.
