Back from a day/night in Oxford meeting up with some wonderful friends. Bbq time!!!! And a cold pilsner to wash it down. Can't really taste owt due to man flu.

Right, let's get down to business. Do you like peanut butter? Do you like chocolate? Do you like stout? If the answer to all 3 is yes then you'll love this. Oh, pairing with Cadbury miniegg choccy.

Been looking forward to trying this. Am I disappointed? No way senior José. This is beautiful. Mango, a bit of passion, hint of pineapple and doing very well at hiding it's mammoth 8.4% of horse power. Flavoursome despite @BecsterM giving me a cold. 😡🤒

Unusually very tropical for NZ hops. Colour doesn't look that appealing but it's bloody good. Lychee, bit of mango and lime hitting me.

OK, was warm enough for just one outside. Yummy, raspberry, white choccy and vanilla.

This is dry, very dry. There's supposed to be Heather honey, pink peppercorn and coriander seeds. They may be what I am tasting but I'm no cicerone. All I know is that I'm enjoying it in my bar with @BecsterM at my side. 😍

Don't get any of the original Elvis Juice but a decent sour on its own.

Did 2.5km of breastroke this morning in 55.12 and burned 812 calories. I calculate that as 3 and a bit free beers 😉😁 So, beer 2 is a light grapefuit easy sipper. Would say a good session but goes over the 5% mark. Still wouldn't stop me smashing a few.

Not as much honey as expected but very Belgian like in style. It's OK. Another edit, got better and better and sweeter. Upping again.

Not normally one of my favourite styles but that ain't bad. I've come back in to edit this, marking it up a bit.

Tagged Friends

Not my fave. Tastes stronger than it is and that's what's ruining it.
