Did a bit of Verdant and Cloudwater ordering today…..

I only ordered a handful of IPAs… Got more stouts... Summer's over baby...

@Seul:

Received refund from Hops Burn & Black seeing as how my package is completely lost, and I told them I ain't drinking 5 week old IPAs that spent two heatwaves in a depot…

I gotta add, though… So they refunded me, and also refunded my REWARDS POINTS... I had used a 50£ discount voucher for the order that went missing... Boom... I can use it again on the next order...

That is fucking next level...

I got one of those in my last order…

It was a chore to drink the entire thing. Definitely tastes like exactly what it says it does... But that heavy flavor, plus the "imperial black IPA" taste, and 11% ABV was far too much for me

^^ but did you finish your chore?   

That sounds like a bottle to share with someone.

I finished it, and it finished me…

I had to drink it alone because Maddy doesn't like dark beers so much.

[Matty123]

Ya had to do man. I know the feeling.

Quick'un whilst prepping some soup, pizza, and tomorrow's pumpkin and ricotta cheese lasagna…

[neph93]

Is this worth a punt Eli?

[Seul]

It's not bad but it has a light body and at 7% I do tend to prefer other geuzes…

[neph93]

Might give it a try. I drank ridiculously small amounts of gueze this summer as a result of the poor weather so I’m missing it. Also, the monopoly has been out of Tilquin for months [emoji849]

In other news, AmundsenXVerdant Space Tiger DIPA. AWESOME.

Snap

[neph93]

Ha! Nice that Amundsen are breaking through in the UK and working with Verdant. Not my favourite Norwegian brewery but they pull some absolute blinders out now and again.

Maddy LOVES that beer right now…

Fruity, but slightly sour and no so sweet.

Me, I think it didn't taste beer-y enough for my taste

[neph93]

This is why I never use Ratebeer etc. Every now and again a bottle pops up in thw shop and I’ll buy it because it looks interesting. Some times it’ll suck some times I’ll get a result. Occasionally it’ll be fantastic.

Picked this up yesterday and seeing as it was a 2013 vintage I figured I’d be ok to drink it straight away [emoji1]

Made by Struise and described as a Royal Stout, it was amazing stuff. Adding to the fun, they couldn’t decide how strong it was. The OG label said 11%ABV, the import label 13%ABV.

[Seul]

It's 13. Previous batch was 11, but by mistake.

Tasted 13, feels like it was 13 this morning. Wonderful stuff.

That’s a nice list. Wander Beyond seem to have the right idea.

"Vintage 2013" is actually the 2017 edition btw. Struise are annoying like that.

[neph93]

It was delicious whenever it was made.
