Tucker:Last day of vacation on Amelia Island. Jack Johnson on the A2 paired with Devil’s Backbone Vienna Lager. Possibly a bit of sun burn as well... ...but totally worth it.
elephant:No pictures ... sorry ... but two nice “Sam Smith chocolate stout”s under my belly tonight. BeoNut since '75
Duels:So just send us a pic of your belly.
elephant:I might do that .... or I might give you tonight’s dinner ! BeoNut since '75
Jon: Next time I go shopping I'll get a few bottles and leave one in the cupboard until it's ~18 months old and see what it's like!

After just over a year I finally had the 18 month old bottle last night and was fab 😍 It's bit darker in appearance than usual (like it says on the bottle), and tasted damn good too.

CB:Guys I don’t know how you can wait such a long time!
Duels:That’s good to hear. I bought six a year ago and have these three left which will be 18 months old in August. Then I’m going to get one of the youngest I can at the time and do a direct comparison.
Saint Beogrowler:This is an odd one called Sunken City. A saison with Sauv Blanc grapes, from the local brewery Insight Brewing using grapes from Ysian Strand. Weather is warm and muggy with a thunderstorm approaching and Miles Davis Milestones playing as I sit out here and watch it all. Happy Sunday! Peter-
Tucker:The local beer bar tapped a 2014 Great Divide Yeti that was brewed with espresso and aged in oak. Damn tasty...

elephant:I don’t know that particular scotch but I agree the room is a great result In the other shots in the FLASH thread, what’s the movie / screensaver ? Looks like an HR Geiger scene !

Thanks, I am very much looking forward to using the room more now.
Lagavulin is a very smokey/peaty single malt from Islay. One of my all time favorites.
The screensaver was actually an aerial view of the city streets in Dubai!

elephant:Tracked a bottle down at the shop around the corner It was an 8 year bottle edition from the bicentennial releases. One left ..... the man behind the counter had only ever tried your 16 yo and said was too peaty for him. And that 8 yo is said to be not as good ..... It’s AU$95 ! What do you think ? A good buy ? A safe investment ? BeoNut since '75
Tucker:Not beer, but I had to take a scotch break while doing my living room remodel. A little Lagavulin 16. I think the room turned out pretty good...

Cheers!
Duels:Tynt Meadow English Trappist ale. Tastes like a strong scotch ale with hints of Belgian yeast. Delicious
elephant:I like both choices Duels ! And I am still thinking about your recommendation on the whisky. I wonder how many of us (not me) could tick off every dot ... or all the dots in a particular quadrant: BeoNut since '75

I have had a bottle of the 8 year Bicentennial, and it is good, but I wouldn't buy it again. I would hold out for the 16 year. That is by far my favorite...
