What beer are we drinking this week, too?

So many bottles of Duvel.......Christmas is unreal.

Christmas night is kinda like a nuclear arms race with widespread stockpile displaying and ABV threats climbing recklessly higher.

Trond

Time for the big guns alright...

Founders Dark Penance and Firestone Whookey Jack.

Drank a six pack of Black's Kinsale Pale Ale tonight....tasty stuff.

Insect Overlord

Black's Model T after dinner, then a Sierra Nevada pale ale and a Founders Porter after midnight. Good times.

Trond

First time having McGargles Big Bangin IPA. Its feicin lovely! 4 for €7 is absolutely incredible.

Ive paid over €4 a bottle for worse. Delighted I bought 12 now. It deserves a bargain alert thread!!!

Lovely Bloke

Jaysis, the Siren Blue Sky Blue Sea Gose is a thing of beauty.

I also had a Freigeist Geisterzug Rhubarb Gose, again, absolutely amazing beer.

I'll be returning to Goses in the new year.

Insect Overlord

Got a craving for Belgian beer. Found Trappistes Rochefort 8 in O'Brien's. Feeling like the baby from the Successful Kid meme. :cool:

What's the new Road Trip like? I saw it was a Stout and it piqued my interest!

Lovely Bloke

It's decent, Chinook and Cascade aren't your run of the mill Stout hops though.

So almost black IPA territory or am I way off?

Lovely Bloke

Ah no, the hops aren't at all in your face like an IPA, it's most definitely a stout

The rhubarb flavour is just perfect for the style, that tartness is great.

I thought roadtrip was the same IPA as crossroads from kinnegar?

there's a Road Trip 2, a stout brewed by Independent.

As both a bourbon and a Scotch ale fan I reckoned that I'd like Backwoods Bastard a lot, but bloody hell it's fantastic and even better than I'd hoped for. There's an instant smell of whiskey before you taste it, and then a lovely sweet, malty, alcoholic hit when you drink it. It's 11.6%, so you wouldn't be drinking too many of them, but I'm wishing I had another for when I finish this one.

Tried a Seven Sisters treacle and oat stout, it was ok, no treacle or oat to speak of.
Then today had the Belgian Stout from 8 Degrees. So disappointed, the yeast overpowered everything else for me, could have been a rich dark stout.
Then had Autumn IPA from St Mels, smells amazing, like a bottle of jam! Tastes ok. Just wished it tasted like it smelled.
Finished with Francis from McGargles, made up for the others.

Love Backwoods Bastard. Haven't seen in my usual spots for ages. Did you pick it up in Dublin?

I think I might have picked it up in Bradley's in Cork recently, but I'm not 100% certain.

I had some cans of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (stovepipe can) when I was up with the family on Christmas Day. None of them would touch it, they said the cans made it look cheap! Ha, little did they know!
