UK Weekend Beerage

An update to my English brews purchase. The clear winner was Harvey's Imperial Stout, followed by Kipling, Tally Ho, and Halcyon. The other 2 I got, I had before. Fullers ESB and Timothy Taylor Landlord, and there's a reason I bought them again.

 

London Pride and Porter...gave them a 4.5 and 4.38 in my reviews. If Fullers were on the shelves in my town, I'd be all over them. I've also had the 1845 and a vintage Ale but didn't review them. The vintage I remember being a bit odd to my palate.

 

Had planned on kicking back and enjoying this last night.....until half the contents of the bottle erupted around the kitchen. Washed it down twice and it still smells of lambic.

 

Centennial, Simcoe and Columbus apparently. I haven't had it for ages personally.

I've ticked a few World Beer Cup medal winners lately and not been impressed by any of them. Maybe it's the weight of expectation.

 

Should be knocked for 6 by some Brewfist later tonight. Will keep in touch.

 

In Telco at the moment. No Torpedo on the shelves but sign says Temporarily out of stock'. Better be...
Nice to see the return of Alice Porter too.

 

Had La Trappe Quad Oak Aged Batch #12. Blend was 91% Bourbon Aged and 1% Cognac. MY favourite Bourbon aged beer so far, by a mile. In comparison, Brooklyn Black Ops was like drinking the melted ice from the empty JD and cokes gathered in Spoons.

 

Pizza and a bottle of Comte de Brismand.

Swish!

 

Just noticed that my 'smart phone' 'corrected' 'Tesco' with 'Telco'. Grrrrhhhh.

 

Was in a branch of the evil empire earlier as well - didn't see any Torpedo. Though I didn't look very hard.....

Just cracked a TSA William Wallace. 's OK.....

 

Ah the fair Aisles of Tesco! Much more scenic than the Fair Isles from George at Asda.

Beer.

 

Fuller's Bengal Lancer.

 

Not yet.

 

Cheers! That does look odd.
