ParisInAKilt Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Joker IPA really hits the mark for me. Lovely beer. Also like their Caesar Augustus. Their stout March of the Penguins is a favourite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I've been drinking Sierra Nevada recently and really liking it. I was in a bar in Bath St a few weeks ago that was selling Sierra Nevada Torpedo, an eventful night out followed after skelping more than a few of them. It's a strong one ha I recently tried a 12% Russian imperial stout. It was fairly easy to drink as well, floated home after a couple of them.

Guest flumax Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Their stout March of the Penguins is a favourite more of a dark ale, not a stout, not sweet enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy37 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I had a Konig Ludwig Weisse last week. My word what a fantastic beer. Bavaria really is spoiled by the choice of top notch ale it has. Edited January 14, 2016 by macy37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 My last pint before leaving Dublin was my first pint of O'Hara's Stout. Must go back for more now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flumax Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 So where is the best places were you are for a beer? By that I mean that in a poncy camra way In Aberdeen, IMHO the best variety and kept is the moorings (or fit ever is called now) plus 10% off for camra members always makes it a good beer place. Grill also keep their ale well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a stout You mean there's better I'm intae strong dark Belgians too (oo-err missus), like Troubadour Obscura, Noir de Dottigne and Malheur 12. Line the three of those up though and the night and next mornin' would be gone. The 12 is the percentage Love Scottish dark beers too such as Old Jock, Dark Dunter and Black Metal's Blood Revenge Never seen them on draught though except at the Paisley Beer Fest... now an annual pilgrimage. I probably don't get out enough. Edited January 14, 2016 by Grim Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flumax Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 It's that lactic sweetness that does a stout. The Belgium stuff I've missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Jim Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Looking back on the thread there's some interest on yon American craft stuff. Some years back Sam Adams was too bitter for me. Now a few taste buds down, I love it... the commercial stuff I mean. Not tried their "craft" stuff. I mind buying some American bottled stuff, thinking, "those are new and interesting labels". Without my reading specs, I didn't see the 9% badging ...which I might have handled if they were wee Belgian sized and not fekkin' pint bottles. I didn't get pissed though as they were just so bitter and hoppy I couldn't drink them Abject fail I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Just discovered DAB Dortmunder. Best ever tasted. Got it in Aitkens in the Ferry.
