Slightly cloying stout. Better without the marshmallow gimmick me thinks.

Prices are becoming silly in this all keg outlet so choose with care.

Stigbergets - First Stout on The Moon

I enjoyed this but thought it drank more like a porter - too restrained for a stout.
£5.35 a half.

Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes (a.k.a. Brasserie BFM) - Abbaye de Saint Bon Chien

Not too impressed. Bit vinegary, bit intense. Well judged? I think not but maybe that's me.

Northern Monk - Bombay Dazzler

Described as an Indian Witbier with(undetectable) hints of ginger, cardamom and coriander this was a strange one. Pleasant enough but the main flavour would best be described as either cherry cola or sasparilla.

Bristol Beer Factory - Southville Hop
6.50
This has stood the test of time so well. Fruity, hoppy and well balanced. The yardstick for judging all beers tried tonight.
Burning Sky - Imperial Stout
8.50
Not big enough or bold enough. Disappointed. Maybe should have tried the Alpha State DIPA instead.

After Lamb Karahi it would be unfair to rate this but the impressions were entirely favourable (keg).

AleSmith - X

I like AleSmith beers. Their IPA is an old favourite but this was, indeed pale, but, at £18 a bottle, lacking in both depth and flavour.

After a South Indian thali it would be unfair to rate this but impressions were of a rather thin, flavour lacking beer.
