Beer

[leedswolf]

Yeah, at £2.60 it’s daft not to.

Happy Seasons - a decent enough beer. I was expecting more lychee tbf.

 

[Boozad]

I can live without excessive lychee to be fair, can’t stand ‘em.

??? Why have a lychee beer ???

 

[Boozad]

Got to try it once!

 

[leedswolf]

Hmmmm.

 

[Boozad]

It’s not like it’s going to be eating lychees is it? Can’t say I’m a fan of pumpkin either but nailed a few pumpkin beers last year.

 

[leedswolf]

I don't like pumpkin as well. I steer clear of pumpkin beers.

 

[Boozad]

I’ll try anything once. Especially if it’s from Cloudwater.

Tried a bottle of Purple Panther from Lidl's range last night and whilst it wasn't bad, it reminded me of the reason why I don't really like porters and why Titanic/St Peter's Plum Porter continually amazes me.

Are there any other decent porters out there which doesn't place the emphasis on a coffee taste?

A good evening at Little leeds Beer House yesterday evening for their BBNo tasting.

18|08 Farmhouse Biere de Garde 7.4% Tempanrillo red wine barrel aged.

To cap off a good evening we also had a visit from some of the brewers for Dark Star festival which starts tomorrow. Nice to catch up with some old friends.

Redwell - Kofra Stout
Sadlers - Mud City Stout
Redchurh - Old Ford Export Stout
Harviestoun - Old Engine Oil
Hook Norton - Double Stout

All good supermarket stout options.

The 6% Mud City is fantastic stuff. B&M had some of it in last year, but not been there for ages to see if it's still available.

 

[machin05]

Be weary of Mud City 'Original'. It's only 4.2% and is basically watered down. It' nowhere near as good as the proper 6% stuff.

A 'tired' version?

Does that Redwell one come in a bright green can? Think I've had that before but didn't really know what to make of it.

Yeah, this one...

It's decent if not brilliant. Nice dry stout flavour but a bit thin bodied and fizzy for the style from what I remember.

It is, picked up the hop bomb and mud city stout. Both the full versions. Think they were £1.30 each.

My local Bargain Booze has 3 Titanic beers for £5. Plum Porter, Captain Smith and the excellent White Star all purchased. Rude not to (500ml bottles too.).
