Phil B on Untappd

Phil B is drinking a Öö XO (Cellar Series) by Põhjala at Untappd at Home

An absolute growler of a stout, thick, dark and bitter. Thought it might be smoother after sitting in my cellar an extra couple of years, but no, this bad boy bites. Boozy black bitter death, strong dark cocoa notes. Excellent.

Phil B is drinking a Cold IPA 14% Vol.I. by Nachmelená Opice at Untappd at Home

Smells like lager, so wasn't hopeful on first sniff. Didn't get much better from there. Woefully average ale, which tastes like an ipa would taste made by someone who has never drank one before. Still, it went down. A bit pants.

Nick Beck: 14% really

Phil B: Nick B. Naaaah of course not. 14 degree on the plato scale, but for some reason some breweries use the percentage symbol, just to confuse folk

Phil B is drinking a Piña Colada Smoothie by Chroust at Untappd at Home

Sours aren't my cuppa, but I'm a sucker for pina coladas. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Coconut, pineapple, sour. Refreshing and strangely (for me) moreish. A great starting beer.

Phil B is drinking a Coconut Milk Power 17 by Rodinný pivovar Zichovec at Untappd at Home

Bit disappointed with this, as I've been a fan of the milk power series up to now. Didn't taste much like coconut, and honestly seemed a bit stale. Got a few more of this so hopefully it was an isolated can...

Coen V: Wow, worst Zicho ever?

Phil B: Coen V. Probably; and unfortunately it wasn't an isolated can. It's crap. Lowered my score even more

Phil B is drinking an Ummagumma by The Barn Beer Co. at Untappd at Home

A ripper. Hard to say what benefits triple dry hopping brings to the mix, but this is an amazing new england. Stone fruit and melon tones, tempered bitterness but still dry. Less sweet than other strong neipas, and better for it. Superb.
