I like the 'Nigerian' Guinness - that's 8 or 9% and tastes like it has bitter chocolate in the Guinness.

Yep but a good few years back they got bought out by one of the bigger breweries and the volume started to drop.

Hurrah, a beer thread at last! Old Peculiar has always been about 5.7%, still a fave of mine. I love stouts and porters particularly, but there are so many amazing beers these days. My ideal man would be a pub loving beer fan (with a naughty streak obviously) but so many profiles on Fab state non drinkers!

I'll keep looking though

What does IPA stand for?

Don't forget the EPA as well.

Also around Manchester JW lees does the MPA and if you can find it on draft is a great pint.

A week kept Draught Bass is hard to beat (and hard to find)

Though my favourite has to be Deuchars IPA, from Edinburgh

The american double hopped ipas are amazing i really welcome the craft beer scene (even if it is derided as hipster).

There's some wonderful pubs about now that have small batch, high abv beers and are just the best places to spend the day working through the menu in halves or thirds

Yes, that's why it's called India Pale Ale and was originally brewed to be more refreshing in a hot climate.

No porters In general (just a term for high abv stout beloved of market porters in London many moons ago for its high calorific value which kept them going.... half cut)

Guinness has to be the most bland tasting stout out here. It's got no flavour and is watery as fuck!

Sams is a cool brewery though, they still use the old Yorkshire squares...I believe it's the pigeons that fall into the brew that give it its body

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

The high strength beers have a real sweet taste which I cannot get past...

Too much like the Flemish high strength beers that I grew to hate while stationed in Belgium.

6%abv Is around my limit and most good beers from the micros is around the 3 to 5 anyway,so happy days for me.

Some very good beers from my two favourite locals, Georges brewery in Wakering (Wakering gold and cockleboats) and the Brentwood brewery both have some very good beers that are worth looking out for.

I think that's the beauty of the double hopped beers with really high strengths, you don't get that Belgian sweetness it's just bitter and smooth (although im a sucker for a Belgian too)
