Sounds good to me. I followed up with an Edel, and have now moved onto the Jameson's and Southern Comfort.First day I’ve felt like having a beer since Covid. The local coop had a few crafts so I’ve treated myself to Naranjito by Brooklyn Brewery. It’s an Orange flavoured pale - I’ve had it before and was slightly underwhelmed, but it tastes very good tonight!
I don't rate that, I've had it before. The best Brooklyn beer I've had is the chocolate stout they do.First day I’ve felt like having a beer since Covid.

Sounds like my kinda thing.Wild Beer Co - Nebula.
Hazy IPA with strong fruit flavours, from a usually very reliable and innovative brewery - didn’t disappoint!
Popped into my local M&S food earlier, they've expanded their beer range somewhat. Picked up a can of Cafe Creme by Arbor (coffee & chocolate stout) and 3 other beers, an American Pale Ale, a West Coast Pale and a Passionfruit Pale. Worth a look in M&S anyway chaps.
It's lovely that stuff, @clint van damme they sell that in B&M usually. Other good ones in the genre are Saltaire Triple Choc, Samuel Smiths Organic Chocolate Stout and even the Youngs one is decent.Stouts are not my style of beer, but a friend highly recommends this one. Mind you, he's a big fan of Sadler's stuff. Sadler's Mud City Stout 12 500ml Bottle Case
really fancy trying a chocolate stout though not sure if I'd like it.
I'll see if I can pick a can or bottle to try. My local co-op has just been refurbed and got a decent craft beer section in there now so I'll see if they've got anything.
I like a darker beer (Porter, Stouts etc) around Christmas time, a few of my favourites:
Titanic - Plum Porter (available in most supermarkets)
Blue Monkey - Chocolate Guerrila
DigBrew - Thoughts and Prayers (8% though!!)
Titanic - Cherry Dark
Brew York - Tonkoko (Milk Stout - vanilla and coconut taste)
Neptune Brewery - On The Bounty (Cocunut and chocolate stout) - basically like drinking a bounty!
Sam Smith - Organic Chocolate Stout
A couple from the others I review with:
Tollgate Brewery - Choc Cherry Porter
Mad Squirrel Brewery - De La Creme (Milk Stout - chocolate and caramel taste)
This month's Beer52 Selection Box just turned up. Last month was all Melbourne/Victoria stuff. This month they've stayed mostly UK and Ireland, with a Californian thrown in for good measure.
Always loved the standard cask Jaipur (biased, as we're friends of the couple who own Thornbridge Brewery - they were married in Jaipur, hence the name) but haven't tried this variant yet.
Maybe Friday.View attachment 18599
Ha. Don't get to see much of them since we moved, so no free samples!Jaipur is an excellent beer, as are the others I’ve had from Thornbridge - not bad people to be friends with, very jealous!
I can’t quite make them all out, but I’ve had Electric Boogaloo before and enjoyed it, Moor Brewery are usually pretty good and I had a Salt Brewery beer for the first time the other week and it was very drinkable!
I've had a few Salt beers, used to work in Leeds and they're understandably commonly available there. Likewise Thornbridge is relatively local to me, so you see its beers around. Jaipur is a classic. It reminds me actually @Great_Expectations they do a chocolate porter, Cocoa Wonderland which is decent.
Strong? As a cider (mainly) drinker myself, that's pretty averageI’ve had it and quite enjoyed it. I remember it being quite a strong one - just checked and it’s 6.8%!
Really enjoyed 'Step Up' a stout by Cloudwater last night. Wish I'd bought more of it
Just had:
A Moor Beer Company (Bristol) 'Revival Pale Bitter' 3.8%. Pish poor. No head, no aroma, very little flavour.
Followed by a :
Rascals Brewing Company (Inchicore, Ireland) 'Wunderbar IPA'. 6%. Much much better. Rather more lively without being gassy. Low esters, but a certain indefinable fruitiness despite that. Very pleasant.
Even after having slept on it, I'm not changing my mind. Very disappointing, but maybe it was a rogue can. Well in date though. It's put me off them anyway!Surprised at Moor Beer as they’re a pretty reliable, if fairly standard, brewery. But a pale bitter at 3.8 doesn’t sound good to me, whatever the brewery!
The Jaipur special sounds very very good!

Do try the DDH if you get chance though.
Rogue can would actually be a good name for a craft ale
Had a lager last night, London mean time. Was really weird in that the taste tailed off when you took a sip.
The opposite of an after taste!
Found a couple of bottles of Mahou in garage from Christmas nice drop although I prefer the green bottle to the red one
Got another craft from the local Co-op - Moyo Juice, a tropical pale by Brewgooder. I’ve had it before; it’s nice and tropical as described (sounds silly but numerous times I’ve had beers that taste nothing like their supposed style), but at 3.8 lacks a bit of a kick.
Easily drinkable and I’m enjoying it - albeit, again I’m slightly biased as it’s only my third beer since covid so it’s still a novelty to enjoy one!!
In past years used to stick with green Mahou during the Benidorm November Fiesta. Could just about make it to daybreak with the green. The red Mahou is stronger and I wouldn't make it to midnight!Found a couple of bottles of Mahou in garage from Christmas nice drop although I prefer the green bottle to the red one
