    A bottle of O'Hara's Imperial Stout, 20th anniversary edition, from my private collection. :P

    Delicious stuff. One more in the box to age for another while.

    Had the Dubbel earlier and have a Tripel which won't be around for too much longer. Haven't had either in a long time, I'd forgotten how good the dubbel is.

    Possibly one of the best IPA's I've ever tasted.
    Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA.

    Smells like slight orange juice and caramel.
    Blood Orange, grapefruit and piney hop flavors with very slight fruity notes.

    It's 6.4% so have to be careful.

    Anyone know do Sweeneys in Glasnevin usually stock Yellowbelly Castaway? Struggling to find it locally :-(

    Have you checked Molloy's on Thomas Street? It always seems to be on the shelves there.

    A 2016 KBS, just because it's my birthday. :) A one word description for it - sublime.

    And because she knows that I'd probably never buy them for myself, I got these from my wife. :D

    Fourpure Oatmeal Stout

    Enjoyed this. All the flavours are fairly well balanced without anything in particular sticking out or dominating. Good carbonation and full body.

    Neither Francis nor Rosie keep well. Even within a couple of months of bottling they start to lose their essential hop character.

    Just trying a rosie IPA from mcgargles for first time tonight. Never again. Nothing can touch Black's KPA or Sierra Nevada in terms of pale ale for me. Everything else pales into insignificance (pardon the pun ;)

    Love the metal man pale ale. It's been a while since I had it. Think I got it in molloys before. Is it available in many places??

    I'm based in Limerick, no place has it on tap here but most Fine Wines stock the cans. It would be my least favorite beer of the 6 that I have though.

    Enjoying this alot at the moment. Tangerine flavoured IPA.

    Smells great and tastes really refreshing. Tangerine is not too forward but you can taste it. Finishes piney but not too much. Really liked this.

    Getting very fond of Brewdogs Elvis Juice, a brilliant hit of grapefruit without taking over the whole Parker pallet.

    Tried the Electric India and have to say I didn't like it. Supposed to be a cross of ipa and Weiss but the wheaty Weiss taste dominated and I didn't like that.

    Just got round to trying Otra Vez by Sierra Nevada, great beer for drinking in the sun and the nicest gose i've tried.
    Like electric India a lot, felt it had much more spice and hops than you normally get with a saison. Preferred it to Quelle Saison.
    Juicebox was really nice as well. they don't overload it with fruit so it's easy to drink a lot of it.

    Lost Continent - Grand Teton Brewing : Double IPA with great greapefruit taste. Alcohol hidden very well for a 8%.

    Ultra Gnar Gnar - Base Camp Brewing company : Found it quite malty with a hint of toffee.

    Invincible Pale Ale - Rhombus Guys Brewing company : Really liked this,lots of tropical flavors and smelled really nice too.

    Moo Joos - Brau Brothers Brewing Company : plenty of chocolate and coffee going on once warmed up. Mine was way too cold so gave it 40 mins to warm up. As it got warmed up it was sweet but not too sweet either.
