WTF!! The beer is simply what it is, a beer and the brewers make a charitable donation to a military themed charity.

Gents,

I like to drink craft beers. I use an app called Untapped. https://untappd.com
It is great for keeping track of beers that you have enjoyed and allows you to rate the beers. It also helps locating beers you may like to drink for the day. Give it a try.

Another fun activity is holding a beer exchange every 4 months. Get 24 people together. Each brings a case of craft beer. No major brands. No duplicates. We have a get together with simple foods to eat, conversation, enjoy a few beers then exchange. Each take just one beer from the 24 cases. You then go home with 24 different beers to enjoy and rate. Good time.

I just enjoyed this utterly fantastic double bock:

I'd kill for one of these. I had it in Emerald Isle NC. Local brew. Fantastic!

The wife brought half a dozen of these in from work yesterday. Brewed exclusively for M&S, I've had this before so it makes a welcome return.

Charlie Wells Triple-Hopped IPA

Resinously hoppy and 5.2% ABV; I love strong IPAs... not so keen on dark ales as they often excite my bowels. This one is described as having a "gentle malt character and MINERALITY" and I kind of get that. A lovely ale from ASDA.

Currently going through some of the LIDL Heatherwood ales and tonight it is the turn of the Golden Goose.

Managed to grab the last bottle in the shop of

Dark & Stormy

Brewed by Nøgne Ø (Grimstad, Norway)/Kaapse Brouwers (Rotterdam, the Netherlands)

Spiced Stout 8% ABV

Jet black in the glass no light whatsoever coming through. The nose wasn't really something I picked up. Could be a slight cold coming on but the flavour was a really nice balance of heavily roasted malt, the bitterness of the hops
and a touch of sweetness coming through without becoming dominant. Didn't really pick up the dark rum or ginger but a touch of lime added nicely to the hops. The batch was brewed only 6 months ago and it could have coped well with being stored a tad longer to smooth out the taste but it is a minor issue all in all here.

Most of all, I say this was a proper stout in that they did not hold back on the roasted malt while keeping the bitterness there. Too bad the price and the one-off of the brew keeps me from buying it more or else I def wouldn't mind keeping a few bottles in storage for a couple of years.

^I wish I could drink dark beer but it makes my bowels gurgle

That's too bad. Same goes for a dram glass of a monster stout? Some of the tiny bottles of monster stouts are in my opinion for sharing. Dram glasses not pint glasses.

The most recent dark beer I was fortunate enough to come across (about a month ago was Samuel Smiths, Taddy Porter.

^ :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up: Haven't had their Taddy but I have had their imperial and it was pretty darn solid. That Taddy looks like one for my bucket list.

Looks excellent! I'm a porter fan and becoming a strong supporter of IPA.

This is a strange ale I have tried. Kind of has a grassy/hay taste to me.
