How about an imperial version of your award winning stout? Make it 1.080 (2 x 40 because life will be twice as much fun post-40).

ps. you're a baby-faced brewer aren't you? I'd have guessed 35.

I'm with this dude.

Imperial version of one of your favourite beers, choice as idea.

I reckon you should brew something like an old ale on your birthday, a really big one that you can maybe induce with brett with oak or something for an extended period???

To drink on your birthday - I guess it depends how long youve got? Could allways do a double IPA ;o)

Don't bother mate. Just get some real ale in from Townshend Brewery instead.
BTW, can someone tell the Malthouse, me Stout is just called Number 9. Dinner Ale is a different brew all together, tho' a stout for dinner is a reasonable menu choice. (There is a steak and chips in every pint.....)
