    So gentlemen, what shall you be drinking this friday, saturday and sunday? Will you be celebrating the heat and sun with something crisp and thirstquenching or perhaps having some tasty dark beers?

    Just back from the family meal and out and I'm about to crack open the frequently mentioned Green Flash West Coast IPA. Might go black after.

    Dark beers sound tasty, although I reckon I'll be sinking a few IPAs over the weekend (they go off quickly don't you know). Currently starting with a Steinlager.....

    Holy moley. what a lineup. And what a delivery. If there were still beer karma points here you'd obviously be for a fair few.

    I've worked my way through many a MR beer in the past 6 months and Dark Arts is a good choice!

    Just been out at the trendy bar which was for the end of my former work place absolutely nothing exciting,
    drank bottles of Leffe and counted my blessings that they had some bottled beer,
    just before leaving presented with 750ml bottle of m&s red ale as present and on way home found bottles of Copper Dragon IPA and Bowland Cromwell Stout.
    Just eating me chips right now.

    Me too, but no fear! Defy convention...

    Currently on a Summer Wine Brewry Diable IPA - fruity and bitter, good stuff.

    I've had I think about 7 or 8 bottles of Leffe I will leave the rest of the booze horde till Saturday.

    I thought we could make it the whole weekend, if some people only had dark beer *shifty eyes* :stuck_out_tongue:

    Also it seems BD Dogma is so uninspiring I actually forgot I was drinking it halfway through! Let's see how it tastes after a few hours in the glass.

    Well I'm looking forward to Bowland's Cromwell Stout and the M&S Red Ale looks quit dark
    but after a lot of Leffe Blond I think it will be wasted.

    It smells like alcoholic marmite... not the best taste though.

    Hmmm - sound dicey. Though I'll have to try one at some point. I thought the original Dogma was quite nice, but I last had one a while back.

    Currently on a SN Ruthless Rye - tasty!

    Well as much as you can love or hate a beer smell :stuck_out_tongue: It was an ok beer, not to impressive though.
