    You know what I like about Huddersfield
    NO not nothing, do you think I'm cutting with my comments lol

    It's Mallinson's Brewing Company
    Consistently good beer that is bottle conditioned and packed with flavour & not that pricey
    Opened a bottle of their Nelson Sauvin as it is the equivalent of Friday in my wonky week.

    Beer Compliment sandwich tonight
    having had Mallinson's single hop
    Nelson Sauvin - a New Zealand hop that is intensely flavoursome

    onto the Japanese Asahi "Super Dry"

    and then after that the realisation of a beer drinkers dream

    Gotta say I was less than impressed considering the hype behind it. Not the first time that has happened with an American craft beer.

    Had it on keg with a Korean meal last month. Not the most enlightened pairing ever.

    Going by their beers I've had thus far I can't say I'd rush to pick up Founders again bar their Old Curmudgeon.
    Backwoods Bastard sounds like it could be worth a punt.

    Perhaps the Founders Breakfast hype came about because when it was first brewed it had very little competition
    and by the time it has gotten to us, we have had some absolutely massive expresso/coffee/Mocha flavour bombs.

    I will say though
    it is a very good coffee stout that is supremely balanced on the coffee flavour
    I drank on cask some Summer Wine Expresso beer
    which was so coffee intense that it was like the filter of a coffee maker bursting
    it felt like chunks of ground coffee in my mouth and throat.

    However, does it deserve the 100 score mark it has on here?
    Not quite.

    I was disappointed with founders breakfast stout in I don't think it was that balanced too much green fresh coffee. Speedway stout is a much better example.

    The beer for me tonight is Fraoch Heather ale vintage cask no 22 very nice.

    Making a slow cooked stew for tomorrow
    splitting a Shep Neame Christmas Ale between me and the pot.

    Slightly better than I remember
    then again there were a lot of top class beers being necked by myself during the festivities
    so it may have paled in comparison

    Good Job, my dad says he got a big load of 'em real cheap and is dropping off some.

    Actually opted for a 750ml Speedway Stout last night. Not bad but like Founders Breakfast Stout not as impressive as its reputation would suggest.

    YO
    You must be well and truly pickled by this point. Think I might opt for that 'My Name is Vladimir' finally. Maybe.
