This was a fun idea that is at least 50% well executed and may turn out to be genius…
A brewer/coffee maker collab, divided into two parts and called “Big Night In”. I had part one last night and had to put off part two until this evening.
Part 1 was an imperial pale at 9.8% abv. Damn tasty... part two is an impy coffee porter. Looking forward to it.

Continuing my Norwegian Mack brewery odyssey, got some different ones to try. Mango one could be interesting?

Also found a can of Amundsen's Dessert in a can, marzipan chocolate shortbread pastry stout.
Might try this at a later date. The price made my head spin. £8 for a 330ml can.
I thought I had learned a lesson from a few years ago when I lived and worked in Norway, never to translate prices. Doing so sucked any fun out of an evening out. No wonder house parties prior to going out on the weekend are popular / obligatory. Get hammered with your pals to cut down on your spending at the pubs in town.
I had a secret weapon when I went out though, a company credit account for entertaining. Long gone are those days I am afraid.

Giles please sneak me a can of that in the next order

@Giles a mere 10.5%…..

The Amundsen dessert stouts are HUGE beers. Very sweet indeed. To be fair the 100kr. they cost is not a lot compared to what similar IS brews go for. A 330ml bottle of Prairie will set you back £20.
If you want something a bit more special that Mack, that won’t break the bank then the Nøgne brews are all very solid at the least.
Interesting how the pandemic has turned the drinking culture on its head. For a long while bars could only stay open to 10pm, so people went out early and spent on food and drink and then the party started at home afterwards.

Prairie Artisan Ales out of Oklahoma? Holy hell, that's nuts. I'd hesitate to buy a six pack for half that. Obviously, the economics of getting their beer on the shelves in Norway are very different, though.

Extremely jealous of Giles/ Fallen Acorn imperial I was on the hunt for some higher alcohol beer and this is what they had at Publix…
I figured this could go either way, and that way is South. This stuff legitimately tastes like Robitussin cough syrup. I have had two "Florida inspired" beers here that were awful. The other one had that Mad Elf/Golden Monkey type spice I think is nasty. And this one is sickening sweet. I'll drink it because it is beer.
Apologize for the glass and the hard pour…

***although I drank three of them in rapid succession and now I have a nice buzz
Each time they taste a little better.

Filthy. I’m with you. I find a lot of the high abv beers too sweet for my tastes.
I’ve really been looking forward to this one. OH x Rothaus.5.0% PILSNER - GERMAN
Amongst lager heads, Rothaus @badischestaatsbrauereirothaus holds legendary status with it's awesome old school designs and awesome lagers. Brewed in Grafenhausen located in Germany’s Black Forest, their beers have always been an after work staff favorite around OH and you’ll often find a case or two hanging out in the warehouse cold room. The team at Rothaus noticed our love for their lagers and gave us a chance to collab on a single-decoction pilsner brewed with grains from their local maltster, Best Malz, and a pallet of Tettnanger hops from their farm-of-choice in Germany. To give this collaboration an Other Half twist, we added some NZ grown Wai-iti for that new world vibe.
