Anyone here tried this marriage between Laphroaig and Innis & Gunn? It's very, very nice.
Unfortunately, it's £6 a bottle!

From the website:
"'Islay Whisky Cask' is an intense and distinctive beer, in part due to its three-month maturation in rare Laphroaig single malt whisky Quarter Casks. During this time, the beer has extracted complex flavours from deep within these special casks, giving the beer an unmistakeable character.
This beer has the hallmark Laphroaig aromas of peat smoke and brine, coupled with vanilla, coconut and floral notes. These, combined with the rich, warming, malty, sweet flavours of the beer, create an utterly unforgettable taste experience that is intense but superbly balanced with an unexpected freshness.
Each bottle of ‘Islay Whisky Cask’ is presented in a striking gift box, this year created by contemporary landscape artist Ellis O’Connor. Her work beautifully illustrates the merging of sea with air and the ever-changing light, elements that characterise an impression of the beer’s namesake, Islay, providing the perfect starting point for the experience that this exceptional brew offers."

A Polly's Brew stout. It's quite bitter but the bitterness doesn't seem to linger, it softens as it goes down.

Quite by chance, I noticed that Aldi have a different whisky infusion at £1.49 a bottle. Not Laphroaig, certainly, and not a red beer but I'll keep my eyes open for one of these when I next pass. (Might not be available in Scotland - different licensing laws seem to have led to Lidl at least doing different beer offers - so it might be the same with Aldi.)

Croatian beer in Belgium. This one was a bit underwhelming. I've had better brews from Nova Runda.

Mikkeler New England pale ale.
Can't work out whether it's actually called "Do Stuff Together" or whether that's just a general tip for life.
It tastes nice anyway. Typical hazy new style IPA.

Not a bad selection for £4.95. It was supposed to be 8 beers but they sent 10 🤷♂️.
Beer was free, all I had to pay was the postage.
If I don't cancel, I'll get 8 beers a month for £27 which I don't think is a good deal.

Yes 👍
Yep, easy decision. Buy something else, Guiness Sucks,!
I lasted three months on that as there was usually at least two in each box that I didn't really want.
