yep, nice whisky-flask shaped bottles. i've been wanting to try their cream stout for a while, but its something like 5 euro's for a 500ml bottle and thats a bit too much for me

Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout ... 9% alcohol, tastes quality!

You Brits got the market locked down on those tall ass cans.

i just finished the breakspear, and i wasnt overly impressed, quite a dull taste imo

st.peters' next

breakspear was a ceephax side project i think. im not too sure, he did the wrong music birthday bash under that name..

also no problems, as you can hear i had a killer cold then..

i just started on Bishops Finger and it has a very borbonish tone to it, its veryish summerishm i can see myself drinking thi sona summer eve with no problems at all

that St. Peter's shit is pretty good - i got tanked on that one night

yes! it is a really really nice ale, its really light as well with a really top flavour so you can get pummled on it in no effort at all

going back to the bishops finger, its a rather nice beverage the flavour just spreads all around your mouth so every swig you take it just adds to the pleasentness of the ale and before you know it it's all gone..

well next up is Hobgoblin.. this has been a rather nice session, though i was a bit disapointed in the brakspear but everything else has been a pleasent drink

ludd you fancy a hang out on the 12th prior to the wrong music party, i'll be around before hand, maybe have a few drinks and shit? up to you

i am so fucking poor right now but i should be able to blag some money off me girlf

so yeah why not

i'm trying st. peter's cream stout right now and i must say i think this has become my new favorite. it is so rich and creamy. absolutely delicious! thanks for starting this thread, dude.

currently enjoying a nice Grolsch

very tasty indeed, my favourite at the moment although i like a Guiness but it gives me the scoots and it is dangerous to drink in the pub incase i shite maself

and i just bought a case of 20 beers of 300ml bottles for £9

woooooooooot

40 is only £16 in Tesco at the moment

fuckin double wooooooooooot

best thing about Christmas is the discount beers and the £100 notes my mum is giving me towards my 360

treble wooooooooooot

good times

i tried an anchor porter and a barney flats oatmeal stout today. the anchor was a great, full-flavored beer that is certainly deserving of its reputation, but the barney flats was a bit of a disappointment given the accolades it has received. not that it was bad, mind you, it's just that the watered-down composition didn't seem worthy of its gold medal winnings. perhaps i'll give another chance.

i think i will add the rest of anchor brewing's offerings to my list of beers to try. good flavor and went down smoothly.

Try Anchor xmas ale you'll love it.

i couldnt find it last night so i got sierra nevada celebration ale and it's not bad

Sierra Celebration is one of my favorite winter brews...always a good choice! Sierra Nevada in general rocks. My fave brewery is probably Three Floyds in Munster, Indiana. Alpha King is the shit..and they do a imperial stout called Dark Lord that fucking rocks hard.

ah yeah.. the elusive Dark Lord.. rare as fck....

i had a Czarny Baltic Porter this evening, heavy thick pitch black porter with a nice berry/coffee/chocolate-ish dry taste.

then i fixed meself a plate of spicy tomatoe/danish blue/onion/garlic pasta and had a duvel to go with that.. duvel is nice as an all-purpose beer, it goes well with any meal and isn't too heavy but still pretty complex.. nothing spectaculair but its a solid brew.. & dont drink duvel at room temperature, its nicer at 8-10 degrees, pale belgian ales like that don't really benefit from higher temps so imo its nicer to drink them cold..

yesterday i had a rochefort 10, the compexity floors me everytime.. whatabrew.. its HUGE beer..

btw those Satan's are mediocre Duvel-ripoffs (the duvel has alot of minions/wannabes, sporting creative names like Lucifer, Duivel, Satan, etc), better stick with the real stuff..

tonight i will testing out only 1 beer tonight, i cant remember if i have tried it or not yet! but anyways

tonight its Corked pale beer

first thing is, when i popped it open it has the lushest aroma, very sugary smell, really nice!

has a really nice fruity taste, and is pretty dry tasting, compared to other abby beers, even though it tastes very nice, and the falvour pouds the taste buds, its one of the dryest beers i have tasted in a while!

also this beer reminds me of hoegaarden, which is a luscious blonde beer.

i give this beer a 7 out of 10, a little too dry for my taste, but superbly fruity and nice smeeling aroma makes it an enjoyable beer to drink!

Duvel rocks.

Orval is probably my favorite Belgian ale followed closely by Corsendonk.
