    The alcohol is VERY apparent. Very tasty though. Sip it slow, or you're fuccked

    I found a few bottles of that in an off-licence in Skerries back in the spring. One was enough! :D Lovely drink.

    Hi folks. I'm visiting New York soon, but will spend most of my time upstate rather than in the city. Are there any beers in particular that I should try to seek out?

    If you get a chance to go out in the city rhere's a good bar on 54th street called The Three Monkeys; they have around 30 beers on tap.
    As for beers from up state I had a stout called Mothers Milk from a brewery in Kingston which was nice.

    It's hardly an obscure choice, but I'm quite looking forward to popping this open later.

    Cheers, will try to get to that bar if I can. I've actually had Mother's Milk (from Keegan Ales) on a previous trip and it's very nice alright.

    According to the Fran Well's facebook page, they're gonna have some Jameson Stout as well as their IPA in the bar tonight in celebration of both beers winning Gold and Bronze, respectively, in the International Beer Challenge in London. So I know what I'll be drinking this weekend! :D

    Still have a bottle myself. Just can't find the appropriate time to crack it open. So, I guess at this stage I'm just aging it.

    I love whiskey aged stouts, the FW Jemmy one was brilliant.

    Sure, on your way down you might as well bring some of the Galway Bay beers with you. :P

    I have a Goose Island Bourbon County Stout sitting there giving me the eyes. I've only ever had the one before, but it's one of the best beers I've ever tasted. I'll crack it open when I can convince myself of a worthy occasion.

    Ceres.

    Danish strong ale. 7.7%.

    Tastes light, no after taste and very easy to drink. You would never guess the abv by sipping it. Comes in a 660ml bottle.

    When looking at the Galway Bay beers on Drinkstore I noticed that Buried at Sea is down as only 4.5%, lower than Stormy Ports 4.8%.

    I thought someone mentioned on here a while ago that it was 5.5%

    Will head over after work to pick up a couple and see what they're like

    At the B+C last night for the Kinsale IPA Launch. Not a bad beer; a friend with me grew to it after a few bottles but felt (rightly) that they underperformed on the PR end of things. That said, the brewer was nice and sat with us and took on board our points. I'd definitely drink it again but with Metalman, Galway Hooker and O'Hara's out there, it's a hard market to compete in.

    Is it yet another new recipe? Last time I had it on draught it was totally unbalanced.

    Its the same recipe for the last few months but the new brewkit has much better hop utilisation so its a lot more citrusy and floral and the malts are more pronounced.

    Decisions, decisions. To go full sail or buried at sea first

    Buried at Sea first, otherwise the hops from full sail will totally overpower it.

    Nøgne Imperial Brown Ale. Beautiful beer. So tasty and balanced.

    Too late. I made a rookie mistake. I had thought of that but wanted to try the full sail as I haven't had it since the new brewer.
