Derek Patterson Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Had the b*****d the other night. Aggressive as you'd expect but very refreshing. Currently on the Winter Wheat. Reminiscent of Manchester Star (reviewed way back, somewhere in this thread) but perhaps a bit lighter. Lovely stuff. Doesn't feel like 7%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely stuff, very nice aftertaste. I also had a nice pint of "silkie stout" in the Guildford arms yesterday. Very drinkable, Although at £3.90 a pint, one was enough. Had a Silkie Stout recently. Very pleasant. However, the best dark beer I've had of late is Fallen Chew Chew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Was out last week before the Celtic v Barca UCL game, was in Bacchus on Glassford St and had 2 very tasty pints of Twisted Thistle, lovely stuff. Goose IPA is my go to pale ale from Morrisons, bit strong but tend to only have 2 or 3 anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enjoy sub 5% beers and lagers especially then it's a fantastic service. Otherwise, it's not really worth the expense. You'd be better saving the money and choosing your own stuff at a bottleshop. The box was often like playing roulette in terms of quality and on a couple of occasions it was more like Russian Roulette. It seemed like an endless stream of lagers and pales under 5%. To their credit, you do get a lot of exclusives in the box, but they don't tend to be anything mindblowing. When they got an exclusive deal to introduce two Oskar Blues beers into the UK, it was a Mexican styled lager and an American styled wheat ale. Both were most acceptable, but considering some of the beers Oskar Blues do it was a massive disappointment The lack of choice was an issue for me. In an effort to overcome this not uncommon criticism they introduced a preference service where you could indicate the type of beers you prefer. My selection of IPAs was soundly ignored an my box contained the maximum number of darker beers available that month. Their claim that they will be supplying beers you can't find in the supermarket is misleading - I've had plenty of supermarket staples, including Brewdog's This is Lager, Dead Pony Club, Black Isle's Yellowhammer and Fyne Ales' Jarl which you could probably find in your local cornershop, never mind supermarkets. I've cancelled due to the frequent disappointments and signed up for this beer club instead. Introductory offers for Beer52 tend to be very good, so I guess it won't hurt to give them a try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I received a gift of three months' deliveries from "Flavourly." All interesting beers, none mainstream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I'm only drinking IPAs from now on. Was in the pub last week and not knowing what I wanted I panic bought a pint of Heineken. Rancid. Tonight I have a foxes rock American style IPA. Very nice. Lidl have a fantastic one called crafty beer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Patterson Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Kirkstall Framboise & Brewdog Jet Black Heart The Framboise just smells and tastes like fizzy raspberry juice. Very tasty indeed though doesn't taste like beer at all. Only 3.6% but the type of thing you could chug and end up slooshed very easily. I've had Jet Black Heart in a bottle before and it was perfectly decent but wouldn't rush to get again. They have it here as a nitro pour and it's the first Brewdog nitro I've had. Very smooth. Nice roast coffee but with just a faint bitterness. More Murphy's (the proper Irish stuff, not the pish brewed under licence in the UK) than Guinness. Gid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrdavidson95 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Iconic probably the better of the two. Also picked up the last of the Nollaig which I thought was bold at 7%, then went for a Double Joker and nearly lost my head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 This is an imperial stout with peanut, chocolate, coffee, and caramel flavours. It's sweet and thick and strong. I have never been a fan of stout or porter but this is one of the best beers I have ever tasted. At 11.0abv and £10 a bottle I don't think I will be having too many of them. Seriously, if you are a fan of stouts or porter you really have to try this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
