Tonight I have had some excellent beers.

Opened up with I Played Trumpet On That Tune by Verdant. A 6.5% IPA laden with juicy stone fruit. Insanely drinkable.

Then I had Dugges Black Apple, a 3.5% sour which nailed the flavours with tart apples with a roasted biscuit malt base.

After that I had Imperial Hard Shake by Wiper and True, a 10.7% ramped up version of their milk stout with cacao nibs. Chocolate milkshake flavours with a nice bitter roast finish.

Now having a Raspberry Tipple, a very well balanced stout infused with raspberries that weighs in at a very respectable 5.5% but that still has plenty of dark malted flavours despite the low ABV which matches well with the tart raspberry.

Good night so far.

Neck Oil has real poignancy with me - I order my girlfriend one on our first date when she didn't know anything about beer.

Just got a can of Cloudwater v13 from the fridge. A stunning example of a New England IPA - chock full of American hops to release all the Mango, passion fruit and other tropical flavours that you could ever need. 9% of pure heaven.

I'm not sure I'd still be awake drinking 9%

Elvis Juice is about my limit strength wise!

Yeah neck oil is up there with my favourites at the minute.

I mostly drink beers of higher ABV - it's why most beers I drink come in 330ml or lower!

Just finished a very drinkable Californian Chardonnay - don't knock it till you've tried it- with a nice piece of grilled fish, baked potato, cauliflower and green beans. I've now settled down to watch the golf with an excellent New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Life is fine.
