Old Peculier is an English classic. First time I had come across the Adnams. Both have a rich, fruitcake, pudding flavour, and both are approx 6.3 abv. I think you would like them both, but the Adnams believe it or not being the underdog was the better beer.
 
haha ... my 2nd fav beer on the planet, but unfortunately probably less crafty post inBev buyout a few years ago ...

i've been stockpiling it for a week!
all goes to show how loaded a word "craft" has become, though, i guess ...

Lol, I know. I otherwise wouldn't touch goose unless it was at one of their brew pubs. I remember when 312 was a completely different beast before it was bastardized. I've never had this one so great to hear you're giving it high marks
 
Yeah....I have passed on that one quite a few times.


First beer I've drain-poured in ages ...

Life's too short to drink that, lol ...

Moving on ...

Very tasty! But if you look closely ...

I really dislike floaties ...

What's the deal w/ Florida breweries?

I wonder if they're all Brew Hub beers ...

:shrug:

So, like ... supposedly it's kool and the gang but I'm not accepting of it TBH ...
 
If you look up 'floaties' you'll find lots of examples of it, but I'm going to have to say that some things are not okay, even if they are okay technically ...
 
The beer is really tasty, though ... one of the best tasting chocolate flavors I've ever had in a beer ...

Good to know, I hate sediment in wine and have to fight the fruit flies so I do not have floaties in my beer!
 
just like that dark horse scary jesus buttfck or what ever it was called. Had apricot and chamomile in it... so many floaties I didn't even take a sip. Just dumped it down the drain.

A fresh raspberry coulee in a wheat beer can be incredible in summer in the right quantity.  If they use too much syrup, it can be jammy and bloody awful.  May be the first Founders I avoid.

Agree.  I don't care which camp you come from, floaties means you messed up somewhere in your process, filtering or cold crashing, or worse still, they didn't clean the fermenters properly before brewing again.  
 
i can only assume that filtering strips other flavors or increases the cost, because the experience/presentation of the floaties is bad ...
I am waiting to find that one.  I can get just about the full OB lineup around here…just not that one yet.  OB and Founders seem to be the 2 breweries that I like most of their offerings.  


same two for me ...

WLP001 is reportedly the house yeast for OB ... worth noting.
