M&S one is better I think but I was probably a bit of pissed by the time I had the Adnams one

M&S Single Hop Mosaic (4.2% abv)
An initial, strongly fruity, peach like taste, becoming bitter and floral, with those notes dominating the aftertaste, although I think the peach lurks in there too. Probably easier drinking than the more bitter single hops I've tried, but not at the cost of being thinner in the taste department. Very good!
Chilli Beer (4.6% abv)
A present, this one. I think there's some sweetness in the very, very initial taste, but that's quickly overwhelmed by a prickly, overly hot chilli taste. I couldn't finish it, and if I'm honest, didn't much like it. I much prefer a subtler flavour in flavoured beers, and this is all chilli, all the time, without the lemony sweetness of some hot chillies, or much taste from whatever the base beer is.

De Dolle, Stille Nacht - sensationally good. Apparently it gets better with age but this little bugger never got the chance to grow old.
Followed by this Rodenbach Grand Cru. Slightly sour and hint of vinegar - a few mionths ago I'd have poured this down my son's throat but they are growing on me. I don't think I can do more than one sour in a session but maybe it's never too late to teach an old dog, new tricks.

It has put a tie on though, which must count for something.
Lovely Lindemans glass too, Rich!

Lovely stuff!
I bought a couple of bottles in 2014 which I've so far resisted.
Edit: I meant 2012!!

Must be back breaking work for the folks you stay with, DP, carting your empties down to the bottle bank after a visit, at least this way it's just a few tins of alu into the recyc bin.
I know, DP, it must be hard waiting for my next trip to the Netherlands. You're a saint.
Spent the afternoon in The Crown and Anchor with my side of the extended family - the better side, it must be said
I'm feeling a bit crap at the moment with a virus that keeps on giving but a few pills and a couple of these thirds seemed to help.
Local brews - Long Man, Best Bitter, American Pale Ale and Copper Hop
All good. First time I've tried this kind of tripel but a pretty good way to try them properly. I did a quick slurp of all three to compare, and then drank them separately.
