Delighted to learn that you enjoyed it.
Tasting notes, please?
I meant to add that I sipped, savoured, and swallowed - and massively enjoyed - a bottle of Montalcino di Brunello this evening with some colleagues.
Got a tip for us?

Wow, this is a really dark, complex stout, aged in barrels so it's got nice hints of oak, creamy soft, lots of chocolate/coffee/plum, vanilla on the finish, just stellar!
ABV 16% + ... 😱

They look amazing - and from your tasting notes - taste equally good.
An ABV of 16? Wow. That is beyond wines, almost into fortified wines - such as sherry and port - territory.
Enjoy. I'd love to be able to join you........

There's a hysterical review on Beer Advocate where the author provided a follow-up after realizing his review went of the rails (due to the ABV). 😀 He said something to the effect of, "I didn't realize the ABV, so my review included references to panantas and hunkey ..."

And I suppose that the moral of that story is don't write reviews (or reports, or briefing notes, or, even posts on MR) when in a state best described as happily and deliriously intoxicated.

This was damn good. I've still got a couple left that I'm going to enjoy pretty soon

I must see if I can find that - it sounds hilarious.
I will not deny that I would love to join you; they look amazing and I am sure yield a superb taste experience.
Some brews from NYE.
Frogger FLC Triple IPA from Bottle Logic Brewing. Very citrusy/fruity aroma and taste. Gotta go easy on it because of the 11% abv.
Picnic Lightning by Brouwerij West. A lovely NE Style IPA
Adios Ghost a Triple IPA from Monkish Brewing which is completely spectacular.
And couldn't do NYE without a Pliny. 😉

Sounds brilliant, and I hope that you enjoyed it.
Clearly, Pliny the Elder is a classic - the way that, say, the Rochefort 10 is a classic - it is one of the beers on my bucket list (have never laid eyes on it, let alone tasted it, in Europe). What does it actually taste like?
I can best describe it as piney and citrusy. You definitely get the piney aroma right off the bat. It goes down very smoothly as well.

Smooth, piney, and citrus......I think I could get to like this beer.

Wow: 19.5% ABV for a beer? This is the same as a port and goes well beyond the range offered by most wines.
Hope you enjoyed it.

I did - a little too much!! I drank the whole bottle, and only just now getting around to doing anything today. 41 years old, and this is my first hangover since in my 20's!

Yeah BT will do that 😀
Looking forward to my Port variant, but not until 2019. Going no booze for 2018.

Ah, hydration, hydration, hydration.........that is the cure.
Personally, I rarely drink a beer - and never a wine - without plenty of water to hand.

No booze for 2018?
Surely that is a bit.......dramatic or drastic?
Well, I hope you enjoy it in 2019, instead.

Yeah, I was drinking plenty of water, but this just hit me like a ton of bricks I suppose

Slow, slow sipping, then.
These are not 'session' beers, they are beers to be enjoyed over the course of a night; one would have one - and take an age to drink it. Absolute max would be two. An insane night would be indicated by three (followed by that sledgehammer feeling the following day).
