Some great beers in there, certainly a few to add to my wishlist.
I'll skip the Floris though....

@weringo gets an extra bonus point for the lowest number of check-ins (over 100)



Next round: D - Dark - Must say Dark on the label (by Sat 22nd May 5pm)
Bonus Points - Ooh, but of fun this one. 2pts for whomever submits the beer from a brewery closest to my house (Not to be confused with submitting a beer from the nearest brewery to my house)

 

[Russinating]

433 total check ins and one of those was one of your mates?!? FFS!

Actually 2 of them have had it. I have the standard Cinder Toffee Stout in the fridge. They do some amazing beers and always sell out fast in my local.

Haha, 166k check-ins for mine. It was a Samuel Smith's one, and I highly recommend it. The problem with chocolate beers I've had in the past is that they're too sweet - though this was a stout, so it was savoury and with a hint of coffee and chocolate. Worked really nicely, especially cold.

My entry.



Distilled with real Jaffa cakes, with a double Jaffa cake garnish. It really does taste both chocolatey and orangey at the same time.

Deserved points really

 

[Lysander]

So that was your "garnish".

You mentalist.

Oh jesus. That's crazy. They're one of my locals, I actually did a brewery course at their brewery.

My local Armenian-run offy only stocks two local breweries and they're one so I was going to use them for a couple including Z. There goes that idea!

 

[Feek]

Hell yeah, it'd be rude not to

Deserved points really

(of course, it doesn't really deserve points, it's not beer!)

 

[weringo]

Here's mine. Not my favourite style as I find stouts tend to taste very samey, but this one was top notch

 

[Sonea Fifer]

This one was my entry for this round - it came from my Christmas beer advent calendar and again I haven't tried it yet so I'm unable to comment on taste:

 

[Repta]

Here's mine, wasn't a big fan of it, will have to re-think my startegy going forward as most of my beers are under 50 check ins now!

I don't think I have ever had a bad cloudwater beer, will have to pick this one up!

 

[Executive Beef]

Not a cheap beer but these are a wonderful series to try, if you see them go for it. You’d think it would be overpoweringly sweet given the name and flavour but it’s not at all.

 

[Ahleckz]

Mine was very custards, it was alright but 10% is 4% too many here I think.

Brew By Numbers - Cherry Trifle Imperial Stout.

 

[MikeTheNative]

Not a big fan of stout but did enjoy this.

Pretty sure I've had that one before, it is quite nice. It's rather chocolaty if I'm remembering correctly.

 

[Martynt74]

Here's mine. Stouts are one of those beers i don't have often but when i do i generally enjoy them more than i remember.

 

[Ahleckz]

I don’t understand this weeks bonus point...

There were 2 available.

1 for having a beer that @Bickaxe 's mates hadn't had (You got this)
1 for having the lowest check-ins (but over 100 to avoid stupid ones), @weringo got that for having a beer with 125 check-ins

Sorry, I meant this weeks as in ‘D’.
@Bickaxe , what do you mean?

2pts for whomever submits the beer from a brewery closest to my house (Not to be confused with submitting a beer from the nearest brewery to my house)

 

[touch]

It means we all have to stalk him, read through every forum post he's ever made, add his wife and friends on facebook, cold call his employer fishing for info, do whatever you can to find out his address and get those 2 points

and whoever's submission is from a brewery closest to his house wins. (It doesn't have to be from the specific closest brewery to his house, as long as yours is closer than everyone else)
