Bairnardo Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 1 minute ago, Archie McSquackle said: First tries from my Beer 52 box. The Heart was a nice enough pale ale. Old Mate was bland and tasteless. Juicy IPA was lovely and the first taste of Shake (Salted Caramel Milkshake IPA) was nice but I couldn't finish the can. Very unusual for me but just far too sweet. Certainly been discussed before, but some of these types are verging on not even close to being a beer. Pleasant drinks, but not beer. NEIPA is about as far as I am willing to push it. And I have few objections to the flavoured stouts, but some of these pale ales are mental. Strawberry Sundae Milkshake marshmallow pale ale does nothing for me. It's just a big can of lactose and e numbers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Had this tonight on recommendation of a pal. Only £5.99 from Majestic so no huge expectation.Went pretty well with a nice steak but way better Malbecs out there for only a few quid more. Decent enough though given the price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 This is one of the best stouts I’ve ever had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Tonights groundhog day consumption will be Pilsner Urquell (6 for £6), a couple of Westmalle Dubbels (research for my next brew), and an Imperial Stout from Buxton. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I finish work in less than an hour so what better way to celebrate than with some stout. It's nice enough but I'd say Drygate and 71 both do better coffee stout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial stout was pish. Not even a really strong one by imperial stout standards at 8.5 iirc but the alcohol was front and centre. Nae use. Urquell and Westmalle were obviously glorious. Another chance for Tiny Rebel tonight with Club Tropica. Cant remember which one of theirs I tried before and was underwhelmed. Hopefully not this one.... And from the top drawer, a couple of cans of Tin Man IPA from the William's Bros. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sainsbury's now stocking Tiny Rebel 4 packs so I guess they've hit the big time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Another from my Beer52 box. It's fine, nothing to write home about but perfectly present. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'll double post since no one else seems to be drinking tonight haha. Decent little India Pale Lager from Lost and Grounded from Bristol. More on the crisp lager side than the IPA side, going down nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Pilsner Urquell with some Diplomatico Exclusiva Reserva. I also opened a bottle of El Dorado 12 year old rum earlier. It was decent on the first go with no harsh notes but surprisingly dry for a demerara rum. I expected it to be like Diplomatico or OVD on steroids so it takes some adjusting. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Wild Beer call it a pale ale, Untappd call it a fruit beer. Its probably somewhere in between. It's OK, was expecting it to be fruitier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Last night's tipples: a few supermarket offerings and a couple from Beer 52. The 3 from Asda are all tried and tested and nothing new. Quite liked Out Too Far from Sailors Grave Brewing (Melbourne box) and the Double Free Verse IPA from Virginia Beer Co was glorious but at 8.6%, I'm slightly regretting it this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
