Getting on the coffee stout bandwagon. Too.much lactose for me but a nice stout nevertheless

A wonderful lambic style ale aged in Chardonnay barrels for 2 years and you can taste the wine along with that classic lambic funk. A single barrel release from Otterbank brewing co in 750ml bottle at just €10 and 8.2% the best beer he has done in my opinion and no label on the bottle as it’s only for sale if you know to ask for it

Head to the tap room tomorrow and tell him your from Donegal and you might just be lucky enough to get one.

Trying a Brewdog Shore Leave as it was on offer in Tesco £4 for 4 cans. Keep wanting to call it Adnams as it sounds very Adnams nor does it taste like a typical Brewdog ale. It's ok, pretty decent amber ale, could drink a lot of it

@samale you can also get this one for €5 11.9% and the best stout he has ever done and very well aged after 3 years. A fantastic example of a Brett whiskey aged stout

There is a fridge full of them down at the tap room all his single barrel ones are there along with gimp mask and cake dealer. Imperial reds as well. Paradise for sour beer lovers.

A bit of feedback on yesterdays post, i enjoyed the the Badgers but as my taste buds are not what they used to be i got SWMBO to see if it was as described on the label she said definitely in fact she said it tasted sweet at first then a little bitter after which is the first time she has ever described a beer so accurately.

I decided that the fourth beer in my next tranche of brews will be an ESB (though will be third in brew priority). I’ve put together a basic recipe and bought these for further inspiration.

I’m starting with the baby of the bunch in terms of ABV, the Bishops Finger at 5.2%.

I like Badger beers but they can often be a little bit underwhelming compared to the big flavours that are trendy now. Haven't had that one though so that's going on the list of beers to try when I see it

I think I have one tin of Tribute in the fridge after last night's disgrace...

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

From the Bishops Finger I mostly got toffee and a little warming alcohol. Also the lovely dark copper colour.

Next the Fullers at 5.9%

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

The Fullers is 3 or 4 SRM points lighter than the Bishops Finger, is bitter-sweet, feels thin in comparison, and is more biased towards hops than malt. I think I prefer the Bishops Finger.

On to the Adnams, darkest and strongest at 6.3%…

Edit: OK, that didn’t take long. This is my least favourite of the bunch. The bottle describes rich fruit cake but I’m not really getting that. I am getting a subtle plastic aroma though and although it’s barely noticeable it’s really putting me off. It puts me in mind of drinking water from a plastic bottle that’s been on the car dashboard in the sun.

 

[SMP Brewery]

Thought I’d give this one another try but I won’t be having this again as it’s not to my taste too tart.

Broadside is one of my favourite beers on draft when in Southwold, I like you don’t think it does itself any favours in the bottle.
