Davkaus Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I'm a big fan of Thornbridge as well. Have you tried a Necessary Evil? It's a bit of a marmite beer among my mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't. I must admit i'm not a massive fan of 10% plus ales/stouts. Saying that, I have one of those 'Dessert in a can" drinks to have when the time comes! I think that is 10% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had the one dessert in a can, blueberry pancake stack, I think. For me, the first third was a pleasure then it became really hard work, but I don't have much of a sweet tooth.

Keep looking at it and thinking "some other time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that Breakfast Stout was chilled, nice coffee and chocolate flavours. Will definitely be looking at more of Siren’s beers, the ones so far bought by my lad for Father’s Day have been lovely. Couple of session IPA’s and some dry hopped pilsners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eventually managed to buy this as it came back in stock online, sent to my dad for Father's Day and mine's waiting for me at my parent's when I make it back to the UK for a visit.

Smooth and slick, tastes like liquid banana ice cream on the first sip. Not really getting the bacon or peanut taste but the bourbon is definitely there. Not one to session on as it could get sickly very quick. Wow this is phenomenal, added it to my order after your post. It's too sweet, half a can is more than enough, but great flavours that you'd associate with a stout not an IPA so it's very cool, very interesting. The rating on Untappd is 3.17/5, which is a complete joke and the most I've ever disagreed with a rating. But everything else I ordered is over 4/5 so that bodes very well indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you get the bacon and peanut butter taste? I couldn't but that might be down to vindaloo abused tastebuds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Last night the sun got to me and I went a bit hog wild. Drove to Brum to pick up an order from Bonehead, and then washed it down with a fruity threesome for summertime: Have spent all day farting like a champion. Back on it tomorrow! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Cotteridge Wines last Friday, it was empty (about midday) and was aiming to stop in at Stirchley but nowhere to park on the main road. I wasn't desperate as I had a box full of goodies from Cotteridge but I would like to pop my head in sometime! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2020 Why do all these "craft ale" people feel the need to plaster stupid pictures all over their cans? It's like a 3 year old has been given uncontrolled use of the full pallette of poster paints. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
