bickster Posted May 15, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 15, 2021 Dexter, a salted caramel milk stout by the Kirkstall Brewery. ABV 4.5% The salted caramel does not dominate and it has a slight effervescence with a quite dry aftertaste. I like this a lot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted May 15, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 15, 2021 The ABV on some of the beers in this thread terrifies me. I think I'd go blind if I drank anything over 5.5% these days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose a couple of rum chasers that I’m prone to have tests that statement. Edited May 15, 2021 by Mark Albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could drink maybe two of something stronger, but 4.2% is my sweet spot between pointless and obliterated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted May 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 16, 2021 They hardly bother making any beers with less than 8% ABV here. Do love a session DIPA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 21, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2021 Apologies, feeling lazy, its not my photo Turning point Brew Co from Knaresborough Hickory Clan Caviar - A Maple and Pecan Danish inspired Stout Abv 6.0% Suitable for vegetables as well I find myself saying this quite a bit here, nowhere near as bad as it sounds. Its actually very nice. I would definitely drink again. It is sweet and nutty tasting but not overpoweringly so 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crank that up to 12% and we’ll talk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
