    Sampling a few bottles whilst watching the match and have come across McKewans Champion. Lovely drop, but at 7.4%, quality over quantity.

    Been drinking it a few months now and it’s very moorish but discipline is needed at that volume.

    I lack discipline in all respects, sounds like the perfect beverage for me

    Think our lass got it from Aldi. It's deceptive stuff. Goes down really easily, but sneaks up on you.

    I reckon if I had 3 or 4 of these I'd be sillier than normal.

    Not seen it in Aldi but I’ll have s look .
    King Goblin from the Hob Goblin range is nice and 6.5% along with a strong version of Abbot Ale .
    I prefer stronger ales as they are more tastier than the slightly weaker ales but you have to remember not to drink them as you would normally .
    I generally start of with a couple then finish off with Guinness otherwise I’m b********* and no good next day.

    Have you tried the version aged in whiskey barrels?

    Yes. McEwans Headspace . Not as strong and I’m not bothered about taste tbh.

    No, I've only just discovered this stuff. Taste wise it'll take some beating.
