Not sure about vanilla stouts but I can recommend Espresso Martinis with vanilla vodka.

Cloudwater collaboration with Stigbergets Bryggeri, a Farmhouse IPA. No stouts or chocolate to be seen.

Though I am keeping an eye out for this...

Chilichoc. Interesting. Sorry to be predictable but just quaffing my last Eyam Vanilla. Must be time for a revisit .

Sheep's milk vodka anyone??

That could go with goats milk ices.

A Love Lane Imperial Stout (10%). Expecting the worst, since I bought it in Lidl for £2.50 when they were selling off stuff after Christmas, just to see how bad it could be. First impressions: not going to change my world, but I've had worse.

Not now, but last night.

Oof. Delicious.

Bishops Finger, last night.

Drinking-in the sun whilst drinking in the sun. A nice mug of filtered coffee for the worth

A rather cheeky chocolate and banana Imperial stout from vocation brewery, at 11.4% it’s numbing the inevitable in the rugby

Jaysus. Drunk out of a wine glass or hip flask? Must be our ABV record. Bear might be able to compete but I'm out (*)

(*) Reminds me of my favourite ever beer name, which we've talked about before: Roger & Out.

Oh... that's a lovely one. Also really like their collab with Brewgod. Tasty!

Enjoying an after ride local beer from Mein Emmental brewery. Nothing too fancy, just a lovely Bière de garde style.

Slane Irish Whiskey … easy to drink. Sometimes I just need that

Purely for medicinal reasons

Oh dear, Reg again.

Perchanced to find ourselves in Bakewell - I blame Mrs Perrin, what a Bakewell tart she is - so obviously rude not to pop in to Thornbridge.

I explained to herself that I was going to treat her to a nice pizza. Which actually I was, but it just happened to be in the brewery....

Twas indeed a nice pizza but unfortunately the shop was open as well which meant I could furnish myself with supplies of their (almost) new brew. Of course! Vanilla stout! Another new one for Reg. I was only going to buy two because we'd walked there with no bags but yer man gave me a cardboard 'six pack'. Two would unbalance it so I had to have four, one in each corner, with a mixture. The middle gap then looked a bit silly so I had to add two more....

Next adventure will be the Titanic brewery in Stoke, when passing through in May, to pick up some of their choc 'n' van stouts.....

Had Brew York's Tonkoatko stout over the weekend. Yum.

Very nice. I'll see that and raise you a Wold Top Marmalade wot I happened across in Broomhill Morrisons...

I hadn't realised it was a case of beery top trumps!

He says, idly eyeing up "Origami Black Belt", a Tonka, maple and ginger stout, clocking in at 11.6%ABV...

Peeling Good Chocolate And Orange Stout. "Peeling Good"? Oh how they laughed.

coffee out of a substite mug, (see cheery Friday mug demise)

I'm also drinking coffee, from a thermal mug (and eating a raspberry croissant) whilst sat on a bench at the cliff top at Shanklin.

Rode in to town to see if my mum's prescription was ready, got to go back in 10 minutes, but came prepared for such eventualities.

Seeing as the sun is out there's worse ways to wait It also appears that most of the UK has come here for Easter, don't remember it being this busy since the 70s.

It's nice!

Agreed - one of the best beers to be found in an average supermarket. Vocation 'Hop, Skip and Juice' and Northern Monk 'Faith' here. Both good and £1.50 a can for Tesco Clubcarders.
