Crikey, this is a bit of a monster!
Local boys are 28-0 down. Chap in the bar suggested that the best way to cope was to have one of these.

ing at the above! It was really rather lovely. Very heavy malt, burnt toffee-like flavors* to it. Definitely one to savor* rather than quaff.
*Turning native....!

Double Bastard.
What a brilliant name.
What's the percentage on it, Flashy?
Posted 6 months ago # -
was that from Cask? looks like the sort of stuff they sell. I had an 'Arrogant Bastard Ale' from there once which was a mere 7.2% (compared to your one's 10.something%), but it was still pretty slow drinking.

Alfa, not Cask this time, am a little further from home...! It was a little over 10%, so certainly not to be rushed!

Not sure I really enjoy beers of that strength tbh. They certainly need to be consumed in a very different manner from ales of a (much) lesser strength.

Indeed. Think of it like wine, though. You wouldn't quaff down a good wine in the same way as you'd demolish a 4% lager, would you?
Had some 17% Mikkeller the other day. Shared a half pint with three people!
Beer is developing, becoming a more refined drink. That has to be a good thing!

Amen. I enjoy my session ales, and tend to forget that the pace has to change when faced with something monsterous. Like the landlady's homemade cider <shudder>.Posted 6 months ago # -

What on Earth are you on about?
Beer is beer. Regardless of what poncy label you put on it.
Same as wine is just fermented grape juice, nowt more. No matter what some ponce on TV sez about it.
Don't muck about with beer like people have with wine. Leave it as a universal bevvy to be enjoyed by all, equally.

I'm all for variety and personal choice but my personal choice is for session beers, Adnams Best, Youngs Ordinary, Black Sheep Ale etc. Partly I like gulping it down and partly I find the taste of beer that is over 5% becomes a bit over bearing.
