Class after two days in the bottle. Next Christmas will be outstanding. I’ve got some Durham Brewery stouts about 3 years old for this xmas.

I've tried a range and I love 18 months. The Brett just does it's business and you get that huge funk but super dry finish. Fresh Orval is topper but has nothing on anything over 12 months imo. Depends how much you like that horse blanket funky farmhouse Brett vibes!
I booked the Toer De Gueuze yesterday. Doing a long weekend in Brussels for that and Cantillon and then away to Leuven for a night. Choss that. Can't wait for covid to fuck it owa.

I really miss Brussels, possibly my favourite destination for a boozy weekend away.
Unbelievable city for beer isn't it. Best thing about it is that Cantillon is literally less then a ten minute walk away from the Eurostar terminal. It's like God themselves decided where to construct the station. I'll forever be grateful.
Have you kept them for 3 years or were they bottled three years ago?
Me lurker mate (Hi Michael, you f***ing prick
) messaged me yesterday asking me to get him a bottle of the Vaux stout when he’s home from America. They could be great Chrimbo presents.The stout & a Vaux glass.

Yes, Brussels is a much underrated city break - beer, chocolate and chips. What more could you waat?
Had couple of grim beers from the Briarbank brewery in Ipswich yesterday. Had never heard of them before and won't be going back.
Couple of people have just posted about the Love Lane Impy stout in Aldi. Anybody know if it’s back in? Only really go to Aldi when the beer festival is on

The same Impy Stout that they had in Lidl?
Sorry, aye, that’s what I meant. Lidl. Somebody’s replied to me saying they bought it today.

I'd clear the shelves if it's back on like. Really liked it. Absolute bargain.
I thought it was great, regardless of price. But it’s about 1/3 of the price you’d expect.
Had a belter of a straight up no nonsense stout yesterday. False God's by Wild Card. 7.7%, no adjuncts. Gave me a disgusting hangover this morning.
Anyone watched Beer Masters on Amazon Prime? Hosted by Jaega Wise of Wild Card and rather bizarrely, James Blunt. It's pretty good.

I’ve left 11 in Roker Lidl.
Had my email to say it’s ready to pick up. Drove down tonight, shut. Google reckons aren’t open until Chrimbo Eve. Shame, as I was going to drink it tonight. It’ll have to wait two days. Going to get another 2/3 as well as I’ve had a few orders & don’t want my bottles to go to other people.Vauxies heritage stout on sale now.

8.50 for a 750ml sharer is excellent value for money.
So, since Vaux wrecked tonight’s plan, I’ve got ready to go
Pomona Island - A Funky Space Reincarnation
Overtone - Maple Nutter
By The River x Wylam - Big Trouble Al’Owa
Debuts for them all.
Going to have a sort trough my session drinks for Chrimbo Day as well & create a plan of action. Just plugged the record player into the Marshall Amp & I can confirm Supersonic sounds belting turned up to 11

What did you think?
I said a few months ago, not defat off what I want a straight forward stout to be. The fact its £2.50 is a bonus. Sure it was £3 in the first round.

Didn’t get onto the Big Trouble. Had an Anarchy impy instead cos it was 250ml & the episode of Money Heist was coming to an end

My untappd is very dull. I hit pretty much the same venues, and often forget what I've had, so my venue list is bollocks. I rarely take photos of beer when out either so mine is mainly at home. Having said that, 382 check ins, 58 styles, top brewery Full Circle @Ambivalent Squirrel , followed by S43, Vault City, Almasty and Cloudwater.
Top style IPA, stout then unbelievably sour, I'd have expected pale.
My top drinking buddy is @Longy as I think he might be the only person I've tagged. Once
