Bit late but... being a homebrewer I had a smoked stout (6.5%), an imperial stout (secondarily fermented with oranges) (10.4%) and a Fuller's Past Masters Old Ale 1905 which went on sale here in Sweden last week.

I bottled an imperial stout with plums (from our tree in the garden) this morning. I might give it a first taste next Saturday.

The Fuller's Vintage ale (mentioned previously) is worth cellaring. I have a few from 2016 and one from 2015 and 2014. The 2010 edition sells at about 100 quid a bottle!

A good mate of mine was given a home brew beer kit by his wife, in hope of him drinking less and staying home more.

Alas, in no time, he perfected a series of beers that were so good, that people were paying him top dollar to purchase a case of his beer. I must say the beer, unlike many home brews, wasn't cloudy at all, with a perfect head an a great taste.

Unfortunately for my mate ended up drinking more ( also with a higher alcohol content ) developed a shot liver.

Good luck with your brews.

Cheers, but I don't use kits!
 
A drop of Theakstons Old Peculier tonight whilst watching Genoa v Lazio. A certain Adel Taarabt is playing for Genoa...

Genoa lost 3-2, good game. Adel looked fitter than usual but just as lazy. Rarely tracked back, spent most of the game wandering around, but put a couple of good passes in.
