Too much Tangle Foot before dinner I think No officer, I wasn’t drinking while cooking! *hic* Badger haven’t referred to it as a ‘deceptively drinkable ale’ for no reason. But all jokes aside, that wasn’t my best effort; my best so far was this last August. Must admit though that that wasn’t made with Tangle Foot; despite being located literally next door to the brewery, Tesco in Blandford didn’t have any Tangle Foot, so we had to make do with some Golden Champion, which I would enjoy if it wasn’t for that peculiar floral aftertaste. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Cheese Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I've finally reached the last of my latest batch of Brewdog beers, and this one is a bit of a whopper at 14% having been aged in ex-Islay whisky casks (no distillery declared but I reckon Laphroaig on this batch of Paradox) To help it along I've also poured the last quite large dram from a bottle of Port Charlotte from Bruichladdich distillery, sad to see the end of it but its place in the cabinet will be taken by a Lagavulin 16 y/o so its not all bad news. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years back, I was packing to move house. My very strong bottle of Russian Imperial Stout still had 5 years of maturation/conditioning to go, but I thought it would blow up with all the move. So I drank it that night. Needless to say, there was no more packing that night; and I have never drunk really strong beer since! 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it taste 'normal' or does it taste 12% strong? I've had mixed experiences with Imperial Stouts but the Sam Smiths one is very drinkable despite being 7.5% 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the 12% strength the other day was strong but 14% Double wowser! Looks like you could stand a spoon up in that!

I've had mixed experiences with Imperial Stouts but the Sam Smiths one is very drinkable despite being 7.5% It was deceptively easy to drink, rich and smooth with no real alcohol burn, these sort of stouts are what Brewdog have always done best in my opinion, some of their lighter offerings are fine but they've released some real tosh recently in the form of various wishy-washy variations of IPA which have really failed to impress...mind you the Paradox Islay did cost me around a tenner! Sam Smiths may take some stick over their pubs and owner/chairman, but I'd agree that their bottled stouts (and Yorkshire Stingo if you can find/afford it) are usually superb.

I’m a fan of their IPAs as well. They don’t appear to be discounted in price, but I still buy them as my special treat. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Marstons Pedigree tonight. Went rather well with some pork. But Morrisons are selling this and EPA for just £1! I have an idea why that might be the case - as Marstons own lots of pubs and hotels, they might be bottling much more than they would normally to make up for their establishments being closed, and they might also be prepared to sell their bottles for a lower price than usual if it means more sales. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry in advance if this is trying to teach your granny to suck eggs! Make sure you close the pressure nozzle at the top after each pour then open again before the next, it should keep the pressure up (I hope that’s the answer for an easy fix ). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
88D Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) My beer drinking is restricted to Stod Fold (Halifax, btw) Gold for a while. I have taken delivery of 32 pints in a ‘bag in a box’. Very nice too, and keeping well. My son joins in, so it won’t last the month that is the ‘warranty’ for its keeping. Came to 1.53 per pint, including delivery.
