May Contain Nuts Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Just off to the beer festival. Of the 319 beers on offer only 66 are above 5%, with just 19 coming in at over 6%I'll report back on any I like.

Dimmu Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Just off to the beer festival. Of the 319 beers on offer only 66 are above 5%, with just 19 coming in at over 6%I'll report back on any I like.So only 19 beers which could be alright... I'd stick with those as 66 is too many for one night anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Corsendonk Tripel, sampled at the Fishing Shack, Paphos, very nice on a hot evening. Just a touch nicer than the La Chouffe which followed it, but not much in it.

eddie Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I've had the Bersalis tripel - really nice and quite wheaty, which compliments the usual spiciness you get in Abbey tripels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) I've had the Bersalis tripel - really nice and quite wheaty, which compliments the usual spiciness you get in Abbey tripels.Sounds like I should have it out of my Hoegaarden Grand Cru glass then! (someone broke my Duvel glass, and I myself broke my Guinness Brewers Project pint glass previously nicked from a pub). Today's beer festival offerings:Moulin Hotel Old Remedial (5.4%). Alchemy 10 Storey Malt Bomb (4.5%). Hopshackle Double Momentum (7%) (like someone had made a beer from the liquid centres of a pack of honey & lemon Halls Soothers). Buxton Black Imperial IPA (7.4). Loch Ness Prince Of Darkness imperial stout (10%)...bringing home a bottle (not from the festival) of Siren Craft Mum's The Word which is a 'Smoked milk porter with cherries & Chipotle chilli' at 5.5% Edited July 10, 2015 by Coconut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeytennis12345 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I've just returned from three very boozy days in Frankfurt...(On a course, but when in Germany....).Whilst perusing for a good old Mars bar in the local Shell garage, I noticed a can of Carlsberg, the like I'd never seen before...It was BLACK and carried a picture of an Elephant on the front (Strangely enough, it was called Carlsberg Elephant!).Of course, my curiosity got the better of me and I purchased three cans, and at 1 euro each, I thought...BARGAIN.I can now see why they were so cheap...at 11% proof and with the consistency of melting tarmac I doubt even a blind German tramp would bother sniffing it.Strange place, Frankfurt.

Every country seems to have its own Tramp Juice - and I've chugged my way through a few. The only thing I would say about Elephant extra-strong is it's marginally better than Grolsch Canon (another 'Gets change from a Euro' special).
