Oh my god :shock: I honestly cant believe I paid £3.59 for a bottle of Beer. A 335ml bottle at that.

This is worth every penny.


It smells of not much realy. To me it smelt like Newcastle Brown (which made my heart sink). Not much of a head about 1mm of lacing around the edge of the glass. This laceing stays with you all the way to the bottom of the glass. The taste OH THE TASTE. This is a stunning Beer and I dont say that lightly. This could be the best Beer I have ever tried. There are a whole heap of mixed up tastes in there. There is Chocolate, Liquorice, Maple Syrup, subtle hop tones but nothing over powers. It has a thick feel in the mouth and it actually tastes DARK. It is not sweet or bitter it is perfectly balanced. At 9% abv 335ml is all you need but is not enough. I could have drunk a much larger glass QUITE HAPPILY.

I owe this beer to the members of this forum. I have been a member less than a year. I intended to brew kit beers to just get some cheap beer in the house. I am now brewing AG making good wines and drinking beers I would have never dreamed off. On Saturday I ventured into a pub, they had my old default John Smiths Smooth on tap, I opted to try the localy brewed Fools Nook real ale and discovered hoppy beer's don't have to taste bitter. I thank the members here for giving me the courage and confidence to try different non mass produced beer's. You have given me the pleasure of finding this Beer.
 
never tried this beer myself but the way you describe it makes me wanna try it, not a 4 squid a bottle though!

I've only been doing the kit beer brewing for maybe 2 months max and since then I've tried more different beers than what I have in the last 6 years. i bought a 12 pack of mixed beers from the williams bros brewing company in alloa, scotland, (makers of Fraoch heather ale) ive also tried Innis and Gunn and the sierra nevada pale ale aswell which was dee-lish.
out of the 12 beers I bought ive got 3 left, a 'jokers scottish pale ale' and 2 darker beers which im not really into, im off tomorrow though so will be doing my coopers candian brew and will maybe have a bottle of the dark beer 'midnight sun' while I'm doing that for inspiration!
 
Looks a lovely beer Mick :D

I enjoy finding new beers to try (styles and breweries) really glad you enjoyed the Fools Nook ;) There is no turning back ever :twisted:
 
Rick trust me this beer is much better than LOVELY :thumb:

It's an American brewery and has been imported by my local beer supermarket as a one off (for them) when there gone there gone. They brought in several US beers in limited quantities (hence the high prices) as an August special. Even at £3.59 a bottle im really tempted to get some more and put them aside for special treats.

abeyptfc.

Did you get a williams Brothers Ginger Beer. I realy like it. Its an AG Ginger beer and im trying to replicate something similar at home.

S,N pale ale is on my list to try. Tonight it will be a bottle of Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout. At £2.39 a bottle much more appealing.
