    Ian's already got some hasn't he?

    My mate keeps trying to get the rest of us involved but it's essentially a pyramid scheme by this point. Obviously I'm just annoyed I didn't top the pyramid before him.

    Yeah I got shares for my birthday or Christmas last year. I've probably already made back most of what was spent on it just in discounts so it's not bad if you're going to buy online or be in one of their bars regular enough.

    On the first day of drinking the fridge delivered to me . . .

    White Hag Union Series Idaho 7 Smash IPA (5.5%).

    First impressions are decent, if a little too hoppy/fizzy. Probably 6.5/10.

    Went to see the Big Man Himself today at a nearby farm. The little hut selling hot drinks had hot toddies on their menu. Would never even consider one at the best of times but didn’t half fancy it. What Christmas does to us. Got all the ingredients in for mulled wine in the slow cooker too.

    Yeah I'm gonna be mulling some wine myself too this year given I don't have the opportunity to be massively overcharged for it at the Christmas market.

    Next on the slate was Something Good 11, a 6.2% amber IPA by DEYA. Not bad again, maybe 7/10 this time. Neither of these fancy dan cans have really blown my socks off. Might have a punk with a curry and then finish myself off with an Atom Neutron Star Coffee/Vanilla Imperial Stout, which sounds like it might be rather good.

    I found the Galaxy and Strata ones much nicer than the Idaho 7 in the union series.

    That White Hag salted caramel stout I had was branded as some sort of dark druid thing, but I guess they have more than one. It was decent, but there were varietals to be wary of, I believe.

    The Neutron Star was good. Not transcendent, but at least 8 out of 10 good.

    This was "Chocolate Orange Pastry Stout". It didn't taste like any of those things.

    There’s a few others - coconut, black forest, etc but in find all those pastry awful. Very synthetic.

    Well when it says pastry it doesn't mean it expects to taste like pastry (not least because pastry doesn't really taste of anything beyond baked-ness), it just means the same as being a dessert stout in my experience. I could definitely taste both chocolate and orange in it.

    Christ knows where you're getting HP sauce from. Unless the one you had was gubbed and you were getting a vinegary flavour of it....

    Are stouts, etc. normally your thing Boyd?

    Can’t really put my finger on it, I just find something off about all that range and I like a dessert stout.


    These two (3 and 4) are on the go at the minute and they’re both class.

    Oh it's not my favourite dessert stout, but I've got it as being better a boozy condiment.

    Don't think I've had any of those but they sound ace. I've got another of the Trillionaire coming in my next TM order,

    Yes, vinegary! That's exactly how it was. Had it gone off?

    I like Guinness. That's stout, right? The milk stout that was in the box was pretty nice.

    Yeah that definitely sounds like you got a knackered one, Boyd. There are unpleasant things you might've described it as that I could have believed as just not being to your taste but vinegary just sounds like it was fucked.

    I meant to say that I actually got a non-pale in my calendar yesterday! A sort of praline cranberry sour thing. Unusual but quite nice.

    Back to the pales today, of course...

    Today's early slate were decent if unspectacular. I forget the name of the first, it had a strange name like Koepship Amber IPA, with strange antipodean sounding things in it. The other was by Three Hills and was nice. I think I may have been being a bit harsh on the fancy cans as I had a few brewdogs in amongst them (Dead Pony and a Punk) and they were pretty bland by comparison.

    Got a Double Maple & Pecan Imperial Stout from Vocation/Double-Barrelled on the go and it's very nice. Definitely think there's more mileage in the quirky stouts than in the pales, perhaps that Black Sheep Pineapple Milkshake thing excluded.

    I'm on Abbeydale Lost Souls, an Imperial Russian Honeycake Stout. Doesn't live up to that description but after my 300th Brewdog pale of the calendar it's a welcome impy.

    Had an Adnams Broadside dark ale today. Too dark for me and the farts I've been cracking tonight are something chronic. The look of disgust I'm getting from my wife is bringing me great joy.

    Adnams' mosiac pale ale is in my top one of ales. Recommend it.

    The Broadside is a bit too dark for me.

    Pomona Island - I Will Survive (DDH IPA) - First real star of the pale box, cloudy as fuck (almost alarmingly so) but a real good 'un.

    More local, Burning Sky - Devil's Rest IPA - bit more traditional, but still good a few sips in.

    One of the lads just gave me an Altbier, Dampfbier, Hefeweizen, and Dunkel Weisse that he brewed. Don’t think I’ve ever had any before.
    There’s a Kolsch as well which I do enjoy.

    Decided to keep the Beer52 subscription for a month but changed it to light beers only as they were deffo better than the dark ones. They also had some other "offer" where you can upgrade to get two extra beers per month for a fiver and your first month of the upgrade is free.

    Yeah, just clocked it's £5 a can normally. Not something I could tolerate in normal conditions, but it is good.

    Stigbergets New and Improved IPA was decent and now I'm on a Polly's 'The Altar Supreme' which is another good 'un.

    Had a Blizzard of the Pines (?) and some sort of Affogato Imperial at some point as well which were also very palatable.

    Oh, and a smoked Imperial called The Beast which was a decent change of pace from all the sweet ones.

    Yeah Polly's Brew have some lovely IPA's. Where did you get this haul from as you have some good stuff in there.

    I've ordered a load from Vault City who are in Scotland. First time trying them and they make some lovely looking sours.

    I have a double crust raspberry pie at 9%, a strawberry one and a tropical sour which has coconut, mango and passion fruit and looks like a thick juice.

    Added an OJIPA too which is gonna be my first one of the day on Christmas. Beats a mimosa.

    That Trembling Madness place had a couple of mixed boxes. Think I've mostly done the pales now, with the quality being backloaded (random selection) so now I face the dilemma of early evening imperials, which I don't think really works on a number of levels, or falling back on a brewdog stash but probably leaving some of the good dark stuff behind as I leave on Sunday and won't be back until Easter at the earliest.

    Might see what a Christmas Morning Imperial Stout yields in terms of the day.

    My mate had a keg ready so I went round for a bottle (and a glass) and it’s very nice. Also gave me two bottles of some 7% stout that he said to leave for two months.
