      It's far from perfect, but it has some very intruiging characteristics!..

        I'm really lucky that we have good Prairie distribution in Texas, or at least in Austin.
        Most of my fridge is full of Jester King and Prairie…

              Possibly the best scotch ale out there

                Gents, looking for recommendations for something similar to this, that isn't made by a global conglomorate, I like it as a winter tipple.

                  I'm not really familiar with stouts, only imperial stouts… But where are you from, and are there any good shops in your neighbourhood?.. Someone else might be able to help 🙂

                    Well, i am from near London…. The home of stout!

                    However this one is strong, slightly sparkling and quite sweet.
                    It has flavours of roasted nuts, coffee, cola.

                    Most stouts are around 4-5% abv, but this hits the spot at 7.5.

                      Almost at Imperial ABV levels then. Most of the Scandi brewers have stouts and impy stouts that would fit the bill. Do you have any spesialist stores near you that have websites?

                      My fave boozy, Imperial Stout at the mo is by Boulevard Brewery, and comes from their Smokestack Series. Nøgne do a good one as well.

                        I've had the Stingo and the Imperial. very nice indeed - and definitely not made by a global conglomerate!

                                I'll be interested to hear how those two limited editions from Fullers turn out.. Great haul!

                                  Oh and the La Buteuse is the appel brandy (calvados) barrel aged version… If you're a nerd you already knew this as it's a 75cl bottle  ::)

                                  PS nephy: Orval glass wrapped... This time it's BOMBPROOF... Might ship next week...

                                    Great news! We'll have a further chat about that, I'll pm  you \o/

                                    Meanwhile all this talk of Stout meant I had to pick some up, and lo and behold a new impy from one og my fave Norwegian brewers. These guys have a micro brewery with associated bar just outside of the centre og Oslo. This is 9% abv and matured in Bourbon casks. Vanilla and oak over a malty, brown sugar base. Great stuff.

                                      More "almost there" from Ægir. A weakish stout at 6%, aged in Irish whiskey casks. Lots of peat and smoke, over over a thin, acidic base. Meh.

                                        A bit of an image dump of beers I've been enjoying over the last bit. I had that fullers imperial stout as well, but apparently I didn't get a photo. It was pretty good. My favorite was definitely the four winds pequeno cabos….a tequila barrel aged Berliner weisse that was just about perfect on a warm summers day

                                            Kicked off college football last night with a few good beers!

                                            Jester King Hibernal Dichotomous, cellared for I think about 9 months.
                                            Delicious, much more mellow than it was initially in January.

                                            Oskar Blues Ten Fidy. Never had anything from this brewery before, this one didn't disappoint.
                                            Luckily I've got three more cans to enjoy.  😘
