I find that much above 7/8% the taste tends to suffer, e.g. Westmalle Dubel is excellent - tripel somewhat less so. See for me, the tripels and quads are the best Belgian beers. Only certain ones mind you, but that extra strength adds complexity to the flavour. Mind you I love an Imperial Stout too...

When do I get barred from the thread for enjoying Bud?

Get out!

Lager wise, I tend to keep Moretti in the house, but it's mostly for guests as I find most people will drink it. I don’t mind it on a hot day if I have no Mad Squirrel.

My go to strong beer is Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel 11.

Excellent! I had a London Pride today, mundane but decent value in bulk from Costco. I tend to get a box of London Pride and a Mad Squirrel variety box, covers most bases.

Might have to go to the local beer shop and get something more interesting at the weekend.

I've not had that, but a Google suggest it's my kind of beer! Will have to look out for it.

Can this be the beer nerds thread?

I'd happily start a thread to discuss the science in the show, as I find this part of physics fascinating. I don't think I'd get many takers though. :lol: I could talk about theoretical physics all day long :lol: Away from multidimensional stuff and nanofibres one scene struck me as unbelievable fr...

Volvo S90 if he can cope with a 4-cylinder engine. 730d isn’t too ugly if you go for the pre-facelift version before the gopping grille was added. 6-series Gran Coupe? For mile munching only the Volvo of the above will come with active cruise/lane assist which makes a massive difference to the driv...

There's something about them, far from my usual type of car, but when I see these I really like them.

I'm also not bothered about in car tech as long as it doesn't get in the way.

They have presence... and a V8.

The the default answer surely is S Class...

How about a last of the line S Class Coupe? Not a hint of uber but does the job.

Oh yeah, nano fibres reminds me:

What if he held the records of the conversation in line with the fibre? The whole notion that slicing the ship to pieces was the best way to recover that information was ludicrous, probably one of the absolute weakest parts of the whole show.

I dropped off of 3 body problem at ep5. They keep undermining their hard sci-fi for story convenience. It's been a few years but iirc they're following the book fairly closely for the main sciencey ideas. They're definitely sticking to the speed of light limit (apart from the magic of instant commu...

Interesting, doesn't sound like Trump will lose either way. He's got himself into a position that allows him to rig the game whatever happens.

Welcome to the S1 club, tell us more!

Correction, I think it must be Vivid Red I'm thinking of, saw Magma Red today and it's nice but perhaps a bit dark.

I can see me getting a 911 in a year or two and it being my go-to every day car. I don’t want a GT version; I’d always rather have something more focused like an Elise or Caterham. The Emira has to be worth trying. If it still doesn’t make me buy it on the spot then I’ll try another MX5 and if I do...

Colleague of mine has just got an A110, he's very happy with it. I'm looking forward to my p-ride next time we're on site together. I do like that green one you linked. For me they are rare enough to seem special, and they seem to have a growing enthusiastic following / community if that's something...

PS if anyone does want an MRI scan then volunteer for one of my studies. I'd happily volunteer for this! Yeah, me too! Free testing without having to beg the NHS has to be grasped! :lol: My mum died of the clogged arteries thing, and it's not something that's in our family history AFAIK, so it was ...

https://i.imgur.com/JT8ooIS.jpeg Genuine Q - in normal driving do you find the wind over the top of the windscreen hits your eyes? I have that issue in Elises and MX5s and I don't think my head is sitting much higher than yours? How tall are you? No, I think my crash helmet is quite chunky, in real...
