What's your favorite Beer?

Had sampling at my brothers house. Some TH, Vanish, Sapwood Cellars.

Man, I need a Treehouse connection.

Still has vanilla, no coconut, lotsa armagnac character. Fucking stellar.

@neph93 - have you tried the Dark Horizon 6 yet?..

[neph93]

I have not old boy. I remember hearing about its release but it hasn’t come through my shop yet. I’ll ask when I’m in on Thursday.

It's barrel aged on armagnac for two fucking years… The nutters at Nogne... I love it when they're allowed out of the dungeon to make their magic potions whilst cackling maniacally...

[neph93]

They’ve shown the way for a modern brewery without a doubt. Take the investment, retain control.

I’m worried my store won’t get any now…

[neph93]

A few from the last couple of days…

Barley wine from Brew Dog. Solid if unspectacular.

Boring attempt at a NEIPA from Cervisiam…

Fantastic middleweight porter from Buxton. Really very good.

^That's my jam. I bought a lot of those in cans but ran out in like a week and no one re-stocked them

Saw this at a local liquor store and decided to roll the dice,as I’ve liked everything else I’ve been able to get by them. It was $16 for the 4 pack of 12OZ cans,and while it’s good,not great,I definitely wouldn’t buy it again for that price. Being an Imperial Stout it clocks in at 14% alcohol,and the alcohol taste is apparent on the back end.

That’s steep. I’m used to paying $16-18 for 16oz 4 pks

It was definitely expensive,as I usually pay about $9 for 12OZ 4 pack of BrewDog beer. I hate feeling like I fell for it.

Yeah, it’s a bummer when you pay extra for beer, especially when there’s hype, and it ends up being disappointing. That’s happened to me a few times and it sucks

You’ll always pay more for impy stouts. And more again for stronger ones.

Brew Dog were specatacular when they started. As they branched out they became consistently good but continued growth seems to have inversely affected quality. Now they are consistently below par with the occasional decent brew.

I still tend to pick up singles if they make a style I know I like but usually wish I hadn’t bothered. The barley wine with coffee a few posts back should have been great but was only ok.

I couldn't care less about Brewdog. Usually don't even pick up collabs even if they might be good.

[neph93]

Sometimes I buy a beer and end up being a little scared about drinking it…

[neph93]

Whoops… a little careless with the pour.

[Sage954]

Hard to pour after a 17%er
How was it?

Drinking this. Sour Funk Cherries Wood

They were on two seperate nights. The lazy pour on the Key Lime Pie was just me being a cack-handed twat. I thought tje Key Lime Pie was a little dissapointing Tbh. Not bad, but not the fun alternative to a NEIPA I’d anticipated. Too much lime probably.

The Carbonite was what you’d expect. A triple IPA turned up to 11. Lots of toffee, a little biscuit. For some reason I thought of that bit of a trifle where the cake has been soaked in rum. But the sweetness was mixed with an intense bitterness from the hops so the whole thing came off sort of medicinal. Which I actually quite liked. It definitely presents as a sipper, which is just as well really.
