Beer?

Rather partial to this one as a dark beer

I’ve stepped away from the advent beers for my next one. Hints of coffee and chocolate in this very rich porter

I'll see your Siren and raise you several percent! It's 12.7% Imperial stout called Fireside. Your photo sent me looking to see whether I still had some Siren beers here.

It's been barrel aged for 36 months using bourbon, whisky, rum and port barrels. Rum and port are the most dominant.

Tried that it wasn't my thing. Missed out on the grand reserve version , around 7% I believe.

I had the nitro version of that at the weekend - very nice.

picked up the death by caribbean chocolate cake, but it was over a fiver for a small can, so quickly returned it to the fridge.

Back on the advent trail - number 5 tonight, and it kicks up a notch

I haven’t tried the “double” yet, what’s the verdict? looks like posh Special Brew

It drinks pretty much like the standard Punk IPA but it does have a kick! Big can with high ABV... you notice it.

That's not a bad description!

Fresh delivery today - needed some proper ale in, plus the brewery is fairly local to me and did a Black Friday 10% discount, plus it’s really nice beer.

Now that's proper delish, one of my favourites at the moment.
