    Marston's Ashes Ale. This brew's performance is on a par with the English cricket team....

    First beer run in a few weeks was a success. 3 new Brains Craft Brewery beers (Rye, Black IPA and Helles), Dolle Stille Nacht, SN Celebration and Magic Rock Bearded Lady (better be good for six quid). Was almost tempted by a Tempest Chipotle Porter too.

    Also this beer was added before the brewery was even started :grimacing:

    Bad Seed's Hefeweizen. Bit of a gusher, and the flavour has a character that makes me think high fermentation temp....

    Just drank the Beer Geek Breakfast, it was really really good. Probably the most coffee forward beer I've had so far, but I love coffee so its all good.

    Beer Geek Breakfast is awesome. One of the best Mikkeller brews that I've had.

    Right - I've just cracked SN Celebration. Celebrate good times, come on!!

    I remember being really underwhelmed by both the Beer Geek and Beer Hop Breakfasts. Amazing smell, decent taste but pretty watery texture. What I call 'the Rogue character'.

    Tesco now have added Revisionist Red Ale
    & Dark IPA to
    their carft brewed by Marston's exclusively for Tesco
    alongside the Revisionist Craft Lager

    Opened the red tonight
    I hope there is more taste than aroma :astonished:

    They were £1.76 and not part of the 4 for £6 deal

    Sainsbury's gave us Infra red with big red liquorice & huge forward hops
    Tesco gives us this Pedigree with stewed sprouts & minimal hops
    Lacklustre is the word that sums it up best.

    I had planned on just having the Revisionist Red but with being such a (not so) bitter disappointment
    opening the Dark IPA in the hope of getting the slightest bit of beer flavour tonight.

    Strange
    that with the Tesco/Marston Revisionist line the one I'd recommend is the lager
    just don't bother with the Dark IPA
    if I may quote myself
    "
    Again the flavours are there but really scaled back It's like a half decent black IPA
    watered down with Evian
    the hops and roast start on the tongue for a moment than start falter
    leaving a feeling of charcoal and water

    just wrong on the mouthfeel
    very watery
    if this was twice as good it would still be half hearted "
