Sounds like my kind of poison! I'm temporarily off the booze at the moment though until I shake off this bloody cold (17 days and counting)
What is "Scotch Ale" though? Sounds like an American marketing thing, I've never seen "Scotch Ale" on, erm, Scottish ale over here.
It's a dark beer kind of like really thin stout, pretty much the only other scotch ale I've ever heard of or seen before this was McEwans Best Scotch, which as far as I know is a north east thing. The McEwans stuff is favoured by old men and people who tend to drink in CIU and Working Mens Clubs, it's nasty stuff.
The old Chub caught my eye simply because it was scotch, and I never thought I'd ever see that in any form in the USA? Plus it was about 5% stronger than McEwans so I was like well I'll try it, and see what it' like.
Gotta be careful ordering a pint of scotch anywhere other than Newcastle afaik or you'll end up with a pint of whiskey that ends up costing about 25 quid :D
I'm flying out tomorrow, but I work tonight....I'm gonna go completely mad, I've drank nearly all my remaining booze, might as well drink it all before I go to bed :lol:
Just another 9 beers to go :D
I'll sleep good on the plane tomorrow after this lot haha! :lol:
oh hang on I have to work tonight, because foolishly I told my manager I would....f*ck it I'll drink it all anyway...

Going a bit Sokurah here :D, this Fell Robust Porter is particularly nice.
It doesn't have quite the body of the stronger stouts and porters, but it comes very close and is delicious. Also being normal strength, one bottle won't floor you.
Maybe it would've helped with a beer like the one I had last night. At 18.2% it's great medicine for a sore throat. :lol:
Ooof! How does it compare to Brewdog's weaker (10% and less!) Stouts? I'm tempted to give it a go, but only if it offers more than their usual double strength ones.

Urgh, snakebite. I can stomach most drinks but draw the line at that...

If you turn up drunk you'll get fired!:grin:
I'll have about 3 or 4 hours sleep before I go in, I won't be drunk, and if they tell me I'm drunk I'll tell them no I was drunk yesterday! :D

...should probably try drinking this stuff on March 16th?
Your toilet will hate you tomorrow!:grin:
I hate myself right now tbh, but it's the only stuff I have in!
I'm guessing you haven't been paid yet!:smile:
That the Wychwood stuff? If it is, it's nice gear.
You sir can see into the heart and minds (and wallets) of men! :lol:
I'm not actually that bad. Had a cheeseburger, chips and garlic bread for tea and it's seeing me through alright.
I will be half cut though before I hit the hay...I guarantee it!
Go for it young sir! (i'm getting there myself!):grin:
I am chief. Drinking quick and listening to Blues with headphones on. It's shaping up to be a great night! :)
Hope it goes great for you too!
Hows the head?:grin:
Wierdly, not too bad!
Went out though and munched my way through a baked tatty and chili, then MaccyD fries.
Might try harder tonight!
That's strange because i was in Glasgow today and popped into McD's for lunch and had a Big Mac and fries!
Subconscious hangover cure?
Well, it would have been if i did have a hangover, which i didn't!:smile:
Yep..! Managed to destroy 4 millitoids before dying...
