Sat with Brian and Pete and a couple of their friends then joined by Phil Lowry. Great afternoon evening as always. Lots of beer conversation.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elland - 1872 Porter | 6.50 | | World class beer |
| Buxton - Wild Boar | 5.70 | | Honeysuckle and peach aromatic hops not very bitter on finish. This is all about those lovely aroma hops |
| Oakham - Dreamcatcher | 6.90 | | Firat beer of day. Had all the lovely grapefruit American hoppage that I really enjoy |
| Goddards - Winter Warmer | 5.20 | | Exactly what a winter warmer should be sweetish malty fruit warming alcohol and peppery hop |
| Larkins - Porter | 5.20 | | ok bit a bit sweet for me. preferred the Elland |
| Blue Anchor - Spingo Middle | 5.10 | | I was expecting an infected beer. And I wasnt disappointed but the wild yeast bretty flavour was right up my street and the extra yeast had dried out the malts completely. Surprisingly good |
| Art Brew - Monkey IPA | 6.40 | | Was supposed to be the chilli and ginger version but this was just the regular version. Good bitter hops on finish |
| Kent - Twelfth Night | 7.40 | | Good chocolate and dark fruits and a bit of tar |
| Acorn - Glacier IPA | 5.00 | | Decent strong blond beer with decent hop |
| Neath - Gold | 5.00 | | ok golden strong ale |
| Atomic - Winter | 5.50 | | Leather rubber Burton Snatch sulphur eggy aroma and flavour. Not very good |
| Cropton (see also Great Yorkshire) - Old Goat | 8.00 | | Tasted like it had an old goat in it |
