dunno..just heard theres a stash in the basement in Temple Bar

It's unusual in tales of hidden treasure told by a drunk at a bar for the treasure to be hidden [i:20c12v5v]in the same bar[/i:20c12v5v] <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Oliver told me last year he only has a couple of bottles left. But then I tell people that too.

I don't get this thing of buying bottles in a pub. I can never make sense of paying twice the price for something!

I only wish that I could have kept my celebration stout stash till now but the temptation was too great. <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

€2.50 in Poterhouse off sales which is pretty good. Shame it probably won't be widly available nor will it be on cask/draught.

I grabbed 4 of the Celebration Stouts and I'm going to lay them down for a while.

It's like shoving a handful of roast barley directly in my mouth and chewing on it! lol!

This beer has more roast flavor than anything I've EVER tried... It's like you took Wrasslers and threw some roast barley in on top of it! I've met my match... I surrender!

Definitely an "Extreme" beer; it's what would result if Beer Tools had a "sliderbar" for "Roasty" and you dragged it all the way to the right, off of the screen, onto a second monitor and then all the way to the right of THAT monitor!!

It's like drinking Turkish coffee, including the grounds in the bottom roasty!

(I think I'm just too dang American and I'm wishing for some more crystal to sweeten it up and add body...)

I'm considering blending this 4/5th Celebration Stout, and 1/5th my sweet, super hoppy DIPA (last bottle, too).
