Flying Dog Kujo. It's only the second coffee stout ive had, the other was Dungarvan. Dungarvan was way nicer.

Taking advantage of having access to Dogfish Head so having a 90 minute Imperial IPA.

No need for words.

Never had Dungarvan but I am a huge fan of Kujo so I may go out and get one.

I think it was seasonal. It was coffee and oatmeal stout. One of the best stouts I've had.

It's possible I may find a bottle somewhere, I will look out for one and grab one if I can.

ASJ112 · 10-06-2012 10:23PM

I felt the other way in regards to those two beers KJ, thought Kujo was up there with Nogne. Although it is nice to see an Irish brewery make a pretty great beer that is better than a lot of stouts I've tried.

Quick question on Sink the Bismarck KJ, once you open the bottle does it last (eg: for a month or two) ? Or is it something that really has to be drunk once open(and of course split amongst a group of friends).

Decided to crack open Brewfist "Fear", a milk chocolate stout. This is the 3rd beer of theirs i've tried, and all have been disappointing.

ciaran76 · 10-06-2012 10:53PM

Southern Tier IPA - 4 malts and 4 hops but taste is more malty than anything.

Slightly hoppy and hint of Citrus it's ok. After having a Dogfish it's very weak in comparison.

I would imagine it would keep if you seal it back up, it's has an alcohol volume of a spirit so you could treat it as one.

Also all Brewfist beers are crap.

Yeah it comes with a bottle stopper. Mine was open for almost 2 weeks and still tasted fine at the end.

I had a bottle of Magic Hat #9 in an airport in the US a year or two back and really enjoyed it, so was delighted to see a six pack for €10 in my local off-license. Clearly absence (and jetlag) makes the heart grow fonder, as I couldn't enjoy this at all, this time around. Very fruity and sweet, but may have been soured a little by the footie. But good to see the off-license expanding it's range of beers.

Ruben Remus · 11-06-2012 03:26PM

Agreed on the Magic Hat #9. I had a bottle at the weekend and thought it was quite heavy and uninspired. I'm not opposed to the concept of fruit beers but I didn't think this one worked at all.

Herb Powell · 11-06-2012 08:06PM

For the past few months (maybe 4 months, idk) I haven't had any of the usual, mass-produced lagers. The closest I've had during that time is Kronenbourg (which is really a good lager imo. Teensy bit "skunky", I don't care, I like the flavour and the aroma.). Aside from that it's been all good ales and weissbiers etc.

Some family are down for a few days, so my mother bought some Heineken.................I had no idea it was this pissy when I first tried it! ****ing hell like, it's amazing when you become used to only drinking good beer, how much a macro will stand out.

Colonel Sanders · 11-06-2012 10:51PM

Thwaites Very Nutty Black

Yet another failed attempt by me to get into ale. For an alleged very nutty ale I actually found it quite bland

Not bad but I won't be buying any more

I didn't like Very Nutty Black at all! It was just too meh.

Colonel Sanders · 14-06-2012 09:44PM

Tonight's haul unfortunately did not have enough alcohol in them to numb the pain of that footy performance but anyhow:

- Harviestoun schiehallion lager x1. Not as nice as bitter & twisted (and I'm not an ale man) but a solid beer. I'd love to try it on draught. Only time I've seen it has been in Edinburgh airport when there was a car waiting to be driven after my flight so couldn't sample!
- Whitewater Belfast lager x2. Ah nettles! a nice beer albeit pricey. Mine weren't cold enough, I really must almost freeze a few before I have it again
- Jever pilsner x1. Meh, it's ok. More "harder" tasting than most pilsners I've had in Germany (almost budvar like). Not a keeper really.

Sephiroth_dude · 15-06-2012 07:30PM

Carlsberg

Saruman · 15-06-2012 08:27PM

So far I'm on my own stuff on tap. Vienna pale al at the moment but I might dip in to some bottled stuff later.

Oh and KJ, I was at Tom Petty too. Awesome gig.

Colonel Sanders · 16-06-2012 11:34AM

Back to basics last night, some absolutely ice cold bottles of Tyskie. It's been a while & I missed it

ciaran76 · 16-06-2012 12:42PM

Back from Atlanta for a few days so got myself Galway Hooker and Helvick Gold. I missed these 2 beauties.

insanity50 · 16-06-2012 06:24PM

A litre of The Captain tonight and six cans of Karpackie.

Friend home from the states for the weekend.

To the victor, the spoils.

ciaran76 · 16-06-2012 10:31PM

A pint of Challenger followed by Metalman. I missed all the Irish beers.

Grayditch · 17-06-2012 08:36AM

Weihenstephaner Vitus.

7.7% and not too strong.

LiamSevenfold · 17-06-2012 08:38AM

I tried 'Tangle Foot' last night.. Wasnt to my fancy, Tasted like arse

I was lead to believe this was great, but I got nothing off it at all. Could barely taste it.

Yes someone suggested it to me, I think they just liked the name of the drink to be honest haha. But I Couldnt agree more, wasn't refreshing, taste wasnt great.. Dissapointment in a bottle

I thought it was nice, and I normally prefer the big flavours. There's nothing wrong with a subtle beer every so often.

Grayditch · 17-06-2012 10:24AM

I like subtle ocasionally too, but this didn't have a nice enough flavour to back it up. I prefer their Fursty Ferret.

Thats fair, Just seems that Im very fussy when it comes to beer.. Nothing beats a nice cold Stella

Seaneh · 17-06-2012 05:00PM

I hated fursty ferret, it tasted of nothing with nothing on the end, no noticeable hops and besides a very basic "sweetness" nothing else at all.

Won't be rushing out to try any other badger beers any time soon.

That said, was in tesco picking up a few bits for the dinner and they were fulled stocked up today so picked up 4 Goose Island IPA, was going to buy 5 Clothworthy Dobbin aswell bu restrained myself and I don't think I have the will power to not drink the lot in one evening!

What beer are we drinking this week ?
