Beer?

[straas]

No new beers in the local lidl - just the same "craft" ones they've had in for a while - one loch lomond, the steam one and another colourful one.

A bit disappointing to be honest.

Although I did get 4 cans of their fake stella and thought it was a really good curry accompaniment

I'm a newcomer to the style but this Cascadian Dark Ale has more of a touch of a mild-porter cross than a black IPA. Nice and malty. The coconut in it is very subtle. I suppose it's adding more to the smoothness of mouthfeel than anything else.

Lockdown 2 beer delivery just arrived. Supporting local businesses. The vibrant forest - kaleidoscope was on order. Unlucky for me he dropped it. Replace with Dark star- subtle ipa.

Each year Siren produce a quartet of Caribbean Chocolate Cake stouts. One sip of this barrel aged one makes me think this is going to be a good winter treat!

Bouncy Bouncy Elephants! An imperial fruited sour that can't be accused of taking itself too seriously. Lots of mango.

And now a Northern Monk collaboration with The Daily Mash...

' yeah we ran out of the coconut creme porter'

Tho we have another...........


Sweet, but full of flavor.

My favourite, Tripel Karmeliet.

Rule #47: Drink tripels, don't ride triples.

New to me a dark lager with distinctive taste.

Advent #3

Very drinkable - hoppy enough to be refreshing and interesting but not too much to be over-bitter.

@figbat having missed out on a calendar I'm not in the least bit jealous.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you get each day.

@figbatI'm looking forward to seeing what you get each day.

Not as much as I am! I’m a couple of days behind - I’ll post up as I drink them.

Advent #5. This one’s a bit strange. It’s like drinking two different drinks at the same time but not together. Putting the glass to my lips I smell nothing but cream soda. The initial taste is one of quite hoppy lager. Then there’s a cream soda aftertaste; the two flavours don’t seem to mix. Not unpleasant but a bit odd.
