It's meant to be a bolder taste than normal... it ain't! It's actually pretty smooth, pity they only come in the 240ml throw downs.

 

[elsooto]

*250 ml.

 

[Billygoat]

Any better?

Can’t believe any human drinks that shite.

 

[elsooto]

Yes, better
It's for a hard earned thirst, so.. you know.. it's prob not for you mate

Great thread, some excellent suggestions, especially the crankshaft, prob my fav Oz beer!

not so sure about stouts down under, kinda sweet though the Grifter below does the job just expensive…

Yeah I've seen that! I love a good stout but yeah I prefer them more on the coffee side than the chocolate.
Most Aussie stouts are more on the chocolate side!!

Being an Irishman I'd been keen to ask do you think Guinness and Killkenny has changed formula or brew or something has changed in em both!!
I got a 4 pack of each and both tasted a lot less flavourful and watery compared to the last time I drank em which was about 4 to 5 years ago!!

Kilkenny is the Irish equivalent of Fosters - no one really drinks it back home but it does well on export. So can’t comment on it changing and I’ve only had one can of Guinness in my life, so sorry can’t comment on that either.

What I can tell u is there are multiple types of Guinness - only a couple available in Australia.

So if u can’t get good draft, I’d highly recommend Guinness Export (6% v 4% for cans or regular bottles). Also comes in larger 750ml bottles so ur not running back and forth to the esky all day!

I do.

Love anything by Coopers except the blue one - I find most session beers to be a marketing excuse to sell piss weak beers

 

[Orb]

Also read a few of ye like Bushmills 10yo - I fucking LOVE whiskey and my go to is Bushmills Black Bush - it’s always cheaper than the 10yo and imo tastes even better

I like Cutty Sark for a good cheaper scotch! Great drop! Better than Bushmills I think!
Still got a 15 year old Dimple that I got for me 40th unopened!!

If ya like Bent spoke stuff have ya tried anything from Capital brewing. Both very good but I prefer the Capital stuff personally!!

Yeah I do it's one of the better Aussie ones!!
Just finished a case of it about 2 weeks ago!
I don't like the price though it's $81 a case at my local BWS!

 

[Porky]

I've been on these lately!! Also $80 a case but fucking good beer!!
