    I love the beer styles this site has like American Porter and American Imperial Stout. They just want to claim anything and everything for themselves the greedy feckers.

    It was quite nice. Not much taste other than coffee and bitterness provided by hops/chocolate though. Not sure why it's such a cult beer but it is very tasty and very drinkable for 8.2%.

    the simply dark was a bit like a black and tan made with dark mild and brown ale now lets see if the titanic stout can measure up to the white star

    Back home from Norfolk for a day, felt I'd like some mild so slipped out to the Marquis of Granby at Granby (where else should it be?) and found some delectable Triple FFF Pressed Rat and Warthog in perfect nick. But I expect good beer from the Marquis.

    That's one of the few milds that crops up around my local area. They don't seem big on milds around the Surrey/Hants/Berks borders which is a shame!
