What's your favorite Beer?

I noticed a lot of stouts on here recently. Here's my take, something local as I'm in the Netherlands again.

A non stout Christmas beer!

Sour with a fruit puree texture. Expensive but will buy again before it disappears.

Plum, nice. You don't see that very often in a fruited sour.

Another day, another stout.
This one's a banger with just 18%.

"Triple" header, tonight. Each one better than the one before…..

@Anesthetist I guess so. I had to read up on the process on Wikipedia, it's basically the process of freezing the beer to remove water crystals and thus giving it a higher alcohol volume, if I understood this correctly. The 18% were pretty brutal, but I’m slowly working my way into dark beers, which were not my favourites.

It can get pretty hot!

In lieu of dessert …..

Dessert never looked so good.

Stout from last night.

It was pretty good. That stout looks lovely. Speaking of stouts, I'm watching the game, and enjoying another Bourbon County, as I speak…

In a can, you say?

Oof. Wish Pliny had wider distribution. I miss it.

@Matt:

Never been able to get my hands on any RR beers here in the UK. There's a relatively local bottle shop that gets them in a few times per year but they always seem to be gone before they're available for general sale…  ::)

[Matt]

I can’t really get it here either.  I have a customer at the barber shop who had some and gave me a bottle of the regular and a can of the dry hopped.  It’s good but now that there’s a brewery on every corner in every town I’d say it’s now an above average beer.

Yeah I know what you mean! A lot of the 'hyped' US breweries (Monkish, Other Half, Finback, Trillium etc) have become more readily available on this side of the pond recently, and as nice as they are, they're no better than what's coming out of some of the best British breweries right now. Cloudwater, Verdant, Beak, DEYA, all top tier stuff 

I guess we'll always want what's just out of our grasp eh…

Menorca bound…..

The local gin is well worth looking out for…if that floats your boat (pun intended).
