Popular Post fightoffyour Posted March 27, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2021 Sorry for my absence from my favourite thread, if anyone noticed. I haven’t stopped drinking, quite the contrary, I’m drinking at least as much as usual. I can show you backlog of killshots if you want, just one like will tell me that someone actually wants to see it! But as for my actual tipple right now. The strongest IPA I’ve ever drank. Even further, the strongest IPA I’ve ever heard of. THIRTEEN POINT FIVE PERCENT. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last can was after we got back from a (covid friendly) self service bar so all of those pints aren't accounted for. A mid teens % chocolate stout; we poured it and @fightoffyourhad a violent landing as he sat down and threw it all over himself. Was a nice one too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 29, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2021 Another Belgian, this time Steenbrugge Blonde. A Belgian Abbey Blonde ale brewed to a recipe in continual use since the Middle Ages and dedicated to St Arnoldus, the patron saint of beer. Enough of that bollocks, it’s bloody lovely and come in at 6.5% abv. Really much nicer than Leffe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Sort of continuing the monastic feel above, had one of these the other day: Maybe everyone else has had one of these 'English Trappist Ales', but it was a new one on me. Strong and perfumed and tasted a little of coffee which I hate, but I actually quite liked the beer. A pleasant surprise, would purchase again. Perhaps better in winter. Also had one of these: 'Arraun' by Basqueland is marketed as a 'hoppy amber ale', and it was, in the best possible way. It combined the rich toffee flavour of an amber with the floral taste of a pale, but in a way that they complemented each other perfectly. A genuine top 10 beer, which is currently available through HonestBrew if anyone's interested (actually, so is the other one now I think of it). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted April 1, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 1, 2021 Something the missus bought me for my birthday. Something out of the ordinary... Session Sake. Wasabi and Apple sparkling sake. Abv 5.5% It isn’t super sparkling just very mildly effervescent. Tastes of apple obviously but it definitely also tastes of sake with the wasabi understated but balancing the flavour out. Nice summer day drink. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll still drink it if there's nothing else but it's the last thing I turn to, I have one from my Belgian box, it'll be the last thing I drink The memories of cheap Holsten Pils run deep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
