More like Christopher Mintz-Plasse (I should get points just for the double double-barrell)

Probably not for everyone but if you go to the Adnams website and order using the code TREAT10 you can get £10 off any order, so a 6 beer box at £10 you just pay £2.99 delivery.

Just trying a pint of Directors in the pub. No idea of rep but it's ok. Nothing more. Better than Doombar any way.

 

[Langers]

I find Directors far too bland. 'Better than Doombar' is no accolade - its like rating a prospective new midfielder as 'better than Steve Corica'.

:icon_lol:

Too easy, I know!

 

[The Bear]

Yeah I was aware it wasn't a high bar. It says on the pump "fruity" but there's not much if it in there. Not even as much as a good pint of Pedigree.

The NMBCo stuff is good Boozad. However the World Gone Sour is probably the least impressive. It's essentially New World with added lactose and lemon juice.

 

[Tredman]

Brilliant glass, beer's not bad either.

 

[machin05]

Lovely malty, treacle and rich dark fruits with a balancing late, but lasting, bitterness and slight citrus hop bite. Complex and deep but incredibly drinkable for a 6.2% ruby. Almost cask-like condition out of the bottle too. Check out that dense head and lacing after 20 minutes in the glass.

How can a beer be complex?

 

[Stan Hullis]

Agreed.

How can a beer be complex?

By having a lot of different, but well balanced, flavours.

 

[machin05]

Simple enough for you, Frank

It's an odd one. Coffee is more prominent on the nose. Quite hoppy up front but then the coffee kicks in. Quite raw/grainy tasting and a bit too astringent to start with, but once your palate adjusts it all comes together quite nicely. The coffee is unroasted and still whole bean so not your usual coffee flavours. Quite fruity.

So it's that 'complex', yet you have quite easily described it?

Beer is still beer, and never has been complex.

 

[Stan Hullis]

In your opinion [emoji4]

 

[machin05]

Beer is still beer, and never has been complex.

More fool me for wasting my time on such flavoursome pursuits! Pint of Spitfire please barkeep....
