Delayed in Chicago for six hours on my way to Hawaii.  At least the airport has Orval…

[Seul]

Fuck Hawaii - keep drinking Orval…

I managed to worry down a second one…

This was fantastic.

According to the calender it’s not stout season but weather wise it certainly is. I picked up a couple of BA’ed To Øl Goliaths recently to save for next winter but at this rate they may get opened a lot sooner.

Bourbon and sherry oak chips?..

[neph93]

Yes. Are you going to tell me they’re crap now?

[Seul]

[neph93]

Haha… We’ll see. Luckily I have a high tolerance for mediocre stout. That Amager Mortician was quite delicious though, I promise.

[Seul]

Naaah it's not bad at all… But I still think the regular Goliat is the best version...

Btw: will look into trying to obtain that Amager... The hideousness of their artwork is on par with Clown Shoes though...

@Seul:

It is grim. All of it is actually, on every damn bottle. It’s been so uniformally bad over the last few years it’s started working in their favour as I can spot a bottle of Amager on a crowded shelf from 20 metres.

[neph93]

Fruity.

[Seul]

^Nice!.. Here it's also English beer… A 4.5% pale ale and it's glorious...

[Seul]

Slightly sour… Not bad, though...

[neph93]

Roxy Music reference though. I approve.

Had the sherry oak Goliath last night. Enjoyed it, although it wasn’t spectacular for the price.

Drinking Lervig’s Liquid Sex Robot now. This is very good. A malt/biscuit/toffee heavy version of Supersonic with naughty can art.

[Seul]

Cloudwater DIPA Citra Cryo Amarillo… That 'rillo spicing things up 

[Seul]

Murky & melons af…

[Seul]

Colder weather?.. 10-4!..

[neph93]

^ Ooh. Ditto.

Standard practice on Brew Dog Abstrakt releases. Buy two, cellar one, drink one. This is relatively low ABV for these releases at 12%. Noticeably fresh.

Been hearing good things about Verdant, so I thought I'd try one. (Nothing to do with fact I currently have no beer in the fridge).

Very nice, refreshing. Will certainly try a few more based on this one.

@neph93 how's the Abstrakt? I hadn't bought one since AB:14, then I saw that one

[neph93]

Relatively straightforward actually. The last few years have been a mixed bag, last years being shite. It’s a slightly bitter porter which the coffee probably enhances, while the brown sugar gives it some some body. After the first sip I thought it was dull, but by the I was enjoying it a lot. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in a year or two.
