Stouts for Xmas

Gutted I missed the 200 Fathoms box set on sale yesterday. Seemed to sell out very quickly. I wonder will they be releasing anymore?

The actual boxes? Or just the 2020 version?

Probably not of the 2018, but the 2020 is getting the same double-barrel treatment and there'll be flavoured versions of it next year.

The 2020 version. Might have mis read that.

Pity they didn't include (Wrassler's) XXXX - a fantastic, hearty stout - best of their three 'standard' stouts IMHO.

The King of Stouts. Grabs you by the scruff of the neck and give you a good shake. Like soup, one does not drink it, one eats it.

O'Hara's seem to bottling a beer in a 330ml corked bottle today as well. Possibly their imperial stout.

750ml bottles last year (and this - mistook it for 375, rather the 75ml on the label!). I suppose makes sense for on-line sales! Lineman just announced Giganticer, their barrel aged version of Gigantic.

Are they in the shops yet?

I didn't see the peanut butter one yesterday. I had the mexican one from Molloys. Bit too spicy for me.

Tempted by the "Dark Nights" box on beercloud. Had all of them, and think that's a great box. Milk stouts aren't really my thing (2 in the box), but the rest are so good I may pull the trigger yet! I should add, not all Stouts - a swarzbeir and Black IPA, but the rest stouts!

45 bills seems a bit steep for something that be much cheaper porchased individually! Most are available in 3 for 9 deals or similar

I'd go half of them? I haven't seen the Lineman, Boundary, Widestreet, Dead Centre, Metalman or 12 Acres in a widespread deal? 12 Acres was on offer in O'Briens for a while, but not as a default.

I'll have to go looking for that. I miss the days when Dunnes used to have a shelf of it in December!

Their apex smores is very good. Just had one this evening. Alot lighter that various chocolate oatmeal stouts I've had and not too sugary sweet with the marshmallow.

It's well balanced

Picked up a couple of bottles of 12.12.20 by Wicklow. Very very good. Keeping the others for closer then Christmas

Have ‘Around The Clock’ by porterhouse and Dingle and Dolmen(2019) byWestern herd in the press

Looking for any opinions on them if possible!

Around the Clock is excellent. I thought there was something a bit off with Dolmen when I tried it in 2018 but they may have fixed that since.

Hi ...what price was the bottle..?

The aged Leann Follain.

It looks to be 37.5 cl?

9.2%?

I want to try this.

Where did you buy it?

What price?

I will check their website.

It seems that the barrel-aged Leann Follain is not actually new.

This is edition 9, to be launched this month.

verbat

Picked up a bottle at supervalu balinteer, 9.2% 750ml 12 euro

Hotblack Desiato

I got a 750mL bottle of barrel aged Leann Follain a few years ago, it was lovely, have never been able to obtain one since though! Hopefully this year's 375 one (or, indeed, the 750) will be more widely available.

None in my local super valu anyway.

Any Lagers/beers that are only made for Christmas ?

Give it a few days. Judging from Twitter, it looks like one or two shops jumped the gun. It's not supposed to be launched until Wednesday.

I managed to get another Morrígan imperial stout (Larkin's) and a Mad Mex imperial stout (Wicklow Wolf) tonight to add to my Christmas collection. Threw a pair of XXXX from Porterhouse into the mix too. Is that the one formerly known as Wrasslers?

It is. Daft decision to change the name 24 years in.
